Now This, I Didn't Predict

Ironmen and Royalty merge http://www.paintballaccess.com/2014/01/san-jose-royalty-and-the-los-angeles-ironmen-merge-their-rosters/

Though, with Dye seemingly tightening their belts everywhere, it makes some kind of sense

I think the bigger question right now is with Dye ceasing to produce paint themselves which paint brand will all the Dye teams be switching too ?
Teams like Ironmen, Damage, Nexus, Tontons will all be looking for suppliers for this season.

No more Dyetanium?... really?... This is amazing news on one level only... Ainsley, Dylan and Myself will no longer have to pick up 200 rip tops from the bags after every event for weeks after!!

I've not seen this story, got a source?

Nothing official but have heard they have closed or mothballed their own factory, maybe they will have it made elsewhere but most suppliers show "out of stock" on the paint on websites.

I heard this too through the grapevine but I'm not sure if it's worldwide or just Europe. Interesting move by Ironmen and Royalty, but won't they have a ridiculously huge roster now?

or perhaps = farm out a few ??

they never produced the paint in the first place! another company did it in the same factory everyone uses, GI, dark sports etc...

G.I. and Dark Sports buy their paint in from Taiwan?
