The Quadfathers want to publicly acknowledge a debt of gratitude to the fine folks at DerbySkinz; When we were first getting started, we saved up some money on a tight budget and bought ourselves 4 sets of custom helmet covers from DerbySkinz with our Godfather hand with strings logo sewn into the jammer stars. We were very proud of them and loved them dearly. Unfortunately, all but one orange jammer cover was lost in the Feb 9, 2012 fire that destroyed our practice space.
We have been lucky enough, along with our sister league CNY Roller Derby, to be the recipient of many generous donations from the local Utica area, and the derby community all over the world, to get back on our feet. And some of the most appreciated came from our friends at DerbySkinz.
Auntie Pantie generously offered to replace our lost sets of custom covers, and even rushed them so that we were able to wear them for our 4/7 debut bout.
Also, and no less importantly, we have to give a big shout out and thank you to Queen Kicktoria of Roc City Roller Derby (Rochester, NY) for hand sewing us 2 additional sets of black base/orange accent covers which we use almost daily for practices and scrimmages, in order to keep our game ones fresh.
We really appreciate the support, and we hope that all you other leagues out there realize how awesome DerbySkinz really are and spend your money with them. They really do care about this sport and the teams they service, and make great durable handcrafted products.
