With my fight uniform being made as I type, I've been contemplating what exactly to get printed on it. Snickers and I decided to go with a skirt as opposed to a regular boxing trunk or even the new trendy hot pant trunks some female boxers are going with. The skirt is much shorter than the trunks but provides more space and a flatter surface for sponsors' logos and names... not to mention it looks pretty hot. The same deal applies to the shirt we're going with -- a crop top that provides more space for writing than the usual sports bra top. As for what to write on it, we decided to keep my uniform relatively label-free, as to encourage potential future sponsors. I would have loved to put Wow Motors across my chest but with Wow having just recently sold his imported car dealership and now looking to start a new company, I'll have to wait to see what business he starts up next. I told him I'd simply put "WOW" on my uniform if he wanted, after all it's him who has supported us and Hulk's way before our club was even in existence, but he told me to hold off for now.
Snickers and I had a long discussion about this in the morning, instead of me heading out for my morning run. He had told me to take the day off running but I still woke up early, so we talked business. Up until 3pm, it was agreed upon that we'd just put "Hulk's Boxing" and "Amy" on my uniform but then at 3pm that idea changed.
I was doing my rounds of skipping when two individuals walked into Hulk's. I left them to talk to Snickers at the juice bar and continued on with my training. No sooner did I then start on my shadow boxing but Snickers interrupted me and called me over to introduce me to them. They were from World Ventures, a travel company I hadn't actually ever heard of. Next thing I knew it we were talking about what we could do for them and what they could do for us; a sponsorship had been established, cool. With me eager to fly out to Canada and us contemplating putting together a future club trip down south with our members, getting sponsored by a travel company is just so great.
Together with World Ventures, we snapped a couple of pictures and then they left me with a company sign for me to take to Thailand. Apparently their "You should be here" sign is kind of like their company's trademark or catch phrase so the deal is I'll be snapping pictures of me in Thailand with that. The money shot is to get one of me with it in the ring after my fight.
By the end of the day, our plans for what to write on my uniform had changed but for the unexpected better. I'll now be getting "Hulk's Boxing", my name and "World Ventures" written on it. Tomorrow I get to pick up my uniform from the seamstress and then we'll be taking it to the printing company to put the finishing touches on it. I'm so excited.
