Empire Paintball: Get Sponsored like a Pro!

November 2, 2011 in Teams

Pro Paintball Infamous with Bobby Aviles

Empire Paintball sends word that they have opened their team sponsorship program for 2012. Throughout the 2011 paintball season the staff here at ProPaintball noted a huge increase in the number of teams shooting Empire Paintball Axe’s, Prophecy Z2 Paintball Loaders, Empire Paintball Gear and RPS Paintballs. Pro teams such as Chicago Legend, Sacramento XSV, LA Infamous, San Diego Dynasty, Vancouver Vendetta and others all competed throughout the 2011 using Empire Paintball equipment.

We had a chance to talk to Thomas Taylor from Sacramento XSV about his Empire AXE at PSP World Cup. Thomas had nothing but great things to say about how well his AXE was shooting, his equipment performed, and his appreciation for Empire Paintball’s continued support.

Does the prospect of a deal on or maybe even free paintball gear sound like something you are interested in? What are you waiting for? Apply now to take advantage of Empire Paintball’s “Get Sponsored Like a Pro”-gram.

Chris LaSoya to Infamous, it's official

May 16, 2011 in Infamous

Last week ProPaintball broke the rumor that Chris Lasoya had left Aftershock and joined back up with his former team, LA Infamous. According to a news release from Empire Paintball, the deal has been finalized and Chris will be putting down his EGO and picking up an AXE.

Good news for LA Infamous fans! Chris LaSoya will be returning to the LA Infamous team for the remainder of the 2011 season. Chris has been playing at the top level of paintball since the beginning of the 90′s. Rising through the ranks he has won almost every tournament there is to win throughout his career. For most of that time, Chris played with the same guys on Infamous. Well, after a long hiatus, Chris is returning to his friends and family and the place he loves to call home, LA Infamous and Empire Paintball.

“I can’t explain how happy I am to be able to get back to my roots and with the guys I grew up with and some of the new blood on the team. They have a real solid team that I’m a part of again, and really glad to be here. Since sponsors started to put the lock down on where we could play I have been moving around from team to team, but now I can get back to where my heart is. I am looking forward to the rest of this year for sure!”, says Chris.

Chris will return to LA Infamous for the remainder of the 2011 season. Good luck to the team with another star player added to the roster.

2011 Dynasty Paintball Jersey

February 28, 2011 in Dynasty

We received an email from Empire Paintball this morning showcasing the new paintball jersey for San Diego Dynasty. The teams 2011 jersey features sponsors Empire Paintball, RPS Paintball, Planet Eclipse, Guerilla Air, DGX Paintball, and Custom Products.

2011 is a big year for Dynasty — this season marks the return of Ollie Lang and Alex Goldman, as well as the return of the teams signature blue jersey. Last season the team took a different approach with the Dynasty Paintball 2010 jersey design-going instead with colors black, white and gray. What are your thoughts on the different jerseys? Which jersey & color scheme is your favorite?
