From my understanding there has been a lot of discussions about which dodgeballs to buy and where to get them...
PG 8.5's seem to be the favorites of most teams. Is there any interest in the whole league adopting only PG 8.5's?
I recently spoke to the owner of a ball company who sells PG 8.5's and we might buy a bunch that they print our logo (interlocked UK) on each one for around $9-10 a ball. So, if anyone is interested in that let me know. We still haven't decided what we want to do, but if the whole league switched over to PG 8.5's through them we would get a much better rate. I'm planning on calling a few other PG 8.5 sellers as well this upcoming month. Just curious if we wanted to vote at the next Captain's Meeting in April about it.

If you're talking about the Champion branding PG 8.5 then I agree. In fact, if you look at the Equipment page on the new website, I think almost all the balls that we listed are Champion brand. Some of the other schools use different balls (like Voit brand, and Kent's flower balls) and it's weird in a match when you're going from one brand of ball to the other. I would be a fan of going with one specific brand of ball, especially if we get a sponsorship (I know it fell through this year but I can still hope right!)

I've been in a small conversation with Champion directly, I sent out a possible partnership email earlier this week and i'm being forwarded to other people within Champion.

I agree. We need to adopt one league-wide ball. It's just one more step toward legitimacy. PG seems to be the way to go.

I do certainly prefer the PG balls, but it might be worth a look at other, less well-known companies which might be more eager to sponsor the NCDA and willing to provide benefits.

Please note, The various colored champion PG 8.5 balls are NOT the same thickness (they are one ply vs the two ply red balls). We learned that the hard way when we popped 12 balls this fall.
