According to CS@PBnation, DYE has expanded the sponsorship agreement with Joy Division. The team has been using DYE goggles and Rotor loaders, JOY Angel Fly markers, ANGEL airtime gear and eclipse pads.
Croydon, United Kingdom (May 2009) – DYE Precision Limited, today announced the signing of professional paintball team JOY DIVISION to wear their highly acclaimed i4 Goggle System and DYE Core protective gear. The agreement includes the Leopard print i4, DYE Core Knee Pads, DYE Core Elbow pads and DYE Luggage.
Its interesting to note that Joy Division had been using the entire line of Angel Airtime protective gear (Jerseys, pads, pants, gloves, etc.) for as long as anyone can remember. Update: “Knower” in the comments reports Joy has been using ECLIPSE protective gear, NXe bags, and V-Force goggle systems. Feel free to speculate as to why Joy Division made a mid season switch in the comments below!

probably becuase WDP sucks as a sponsor. Im going to say that WDP was complaining about having to give them new pads, so they switched to dye.

They were sponsored by Eclipse for pads previously so it has nothing to do with WDP/APS.
They still shoot Angels and wear angel tops, pants, gloves, fat boy pods etc from WDP/APS just like they already did, all that has changed is that they use Dye pads instead of Eclipse pads and use Dye goggles instead of V force, and get Dye bags instead of NXE bags. None of these changes effect WDP/APS.

Hello “knower”,
I checked out some more recent photographs of the team and it appears that they had been using draxxus pants and vlocity loaders and exalt cleats.
Thank you for the correction, we have adjusted the article accordingly.

Dye is trying to make moves in the European market. Its why they went to the Palms event, and this move just looks like they are trying to strengthen their brand name over seas. Smart move to pick the most popular and best Euro team around.
