Dynasty reps KEE

Dynasty has dropped JT as their major sponsor and have switched to KEE Action Sports. Dynasty will be dressed head to toe in Empire gear; pants, jersey, gloves, pads, and E’Vents goggles. They will also be shooting RPS paintballs and be using the Empire Prophecy loader. The team will make their Kee sponsor debut at PSP Phoenix this weekend, Feb. 20-22.

“Dynasty’s success on and off the field make them a perfect fit for Empire and RPS Paintballs, with all three entities being leaders in their respective categories,” said Vice President of Marketing, Jason A. Taitano. Alex Fraige, Dynasty’s Captain, said,” We’re stoked to join the Empire and RPS Team. They produce great products, have the best paint, and are a great partner for us to continue our success.”
