The End of JT

[Tony Harrison]

Following on from an article in VFTD, it appears that JT will close next month.

I think everyone has owned a piece of JT kit at one point or another.

They changed the way paintball looked and was marketed, and I believe they inspired Dave Youngblood to create DYE.

RIP JT.

I need to get me a stack of JT goggles and lenses.

Pete/mods I know its to late for me to call but could you please delete this post.

This is not very nice for the people who work for JT Sports to be reading this sort of **** online. It has be deleted from PBN, ProPaintball plus other sites.

**** we all love a good rumor but 4 days before Xmas with a rumor that will 100% not be nice for people to read is a low blow.

Thanks

JU / Lump, I am gonna leave this up for the following reasons:-

The whole premise of the employees being upset about this is somewhat academic because I am damned sure they would have read it elsewhere anyway.
It's not as if we are sanctioning this, it's rumour for god's sake and this site, as well as all all other forums, thrive on speculation.

Just because we allow people to post their speculation or rumours that they may have heard doesn't mean we sanction it by default just because it is posted on our site.

I think people who read it will appreciate its rumour and treat it as such.
I think deleting this thread is a dangerous way to go and would certainly strangle a lot of news/information/speculation this sport throws up.

I feel bad for those JT employees if in fact this is true but I'm afraid the JT cat is already out the bag as far as that is concerned.

Sorry guys, it stays up!

Best of luck to the JT workers, i hope you will be alright.

I still have my 1st JT top and goggles I bought for use back in the woods I really hope this isnt true!

I too hope this is untrue, would leave a massive void in the paintball world.

I notice no-one is saying that their 'latest' kit was bought from JT....

Seriously, if you want to be hugely disappointed/dismayed, go out and buy some JT gear before the end of Feb. I understand you all want to take credit for what you all bought in the 90's, but if you havn't bought JT in the past 3-4 years then you're still part of the reason they're in a mess.
