The AIR LT squad have now found their first sponsor who will supply the Australian racing suits and track suits for the 2009/2010 World Cup season. Sydney Skate Shop will supply the uniforms for those skaters who qualify for world cups.
Here is the first prototype design (although the sponsor logo will be different and there will be an AUS on the back area).
What the team needs now is a major sponsor(s) to cover the world cup season, so the hunt will continue.
Meanwhile, the skaters are training away as hard as they can, with most of them concentrating soley on the ice for the coming season. Daniel Greig sent me an email, and in his own words, they are training 'until their feet bleed'! Can't ask for more than that.
In other news, current Australian National ST Champion, Ben Southee will be making the transition to LT for the coming season. Ben is a superb athlete and I doubt that he will have any trouble adapting to the larger sheet discipline. It appears Ben will base himself in Calgary to begin with and will see how his season progresses. Good luck Ben. Ben is also the sponsor who will supply the suits for qualifying WC skaters, all the skaters are very appreciative.The first world cup kicks off in Berlin on the 6th of November, so it would be great to see all 4 skaters qualify for the varying events.
More to follow soon.
Are they footballs on the legs and body?
