Oakham School Disc Design Competition

Back in June, Oakham School in Oldbury ran a discs skills day which invited all pupils to learn more about and play some ultimate! We were thrilled to be asked to support the event and were asked to judge their disc design competition. There were many fabulous entries which took themes suggested as part of the school's 'health week' such as eat healthily and do not smoke (which we all know are essential for being good at ultimate as well!)

Here were some of our favourites!

Congratulations to everyone who took part! We look forward to seeing more disc designs from Oakham School next year.

Lookfly Back To Uni - Early Bird Discount Deal!

You order your kit, and start thinking about how awesome you’ll look at regionals.

Problem is, when regionals come around, the kit’s not ready. You end up piecing together as many shirts as you can from the last few years. Too many ultimate teams are familiar with this situation.

It all starts with suppliers who don’t understand the needs of an ultimate team. But there is a better way. Go to a dedicated ultimate supplier and you’ll get a company that understands your needs.

Lookfly has a new offer which promises you’ll have kit in time for outdoor regionals. 100% guaranteed. If you order before 25/11/11 you’ll get your kit no later than 03/02/12.

And if you have a specific event you’re playing at before 03/02/12, let us know, we could possibly make it in time!

All the kit for this deal is made from our latest NewLife™ fabric, so you’ll be getting top of the range gear.

Here’s why NewLife™ Microsilk is great for ultimate:

Lightweight material
NewLife™ fabric is the lightest material we’ve ever made. It’s 120gsm. That’s the same weight per metre as paper. Only NewLife is more comfortable. Lightweight fabric means you’re free to move, so you’re able to play at your best.

Moisture control
NewLife™ fabric is designed to manage your moisture. It has two main layers. The first takes moisture away from your body. The second evaporates it quickly so your kit stays lightweight and dry.

Silky finish
NewLife™ isn’t only designed for top performance. It’s also made to be comfortable. The inside Microsilk layer is designed to be silky smooth, so you’ll always stay comfy.

What makes NewLife™ even better is that it’s eco-friendly. It’s produced entirely from recycled bottles. If you ever have to get rid of it… you can throw it in with your household recycling.

NewLife™ is worn by many of the world’s best teams. Take Furious George. They wore Lookfly NewLife™ fabric when they won Canadian Nationals.

To make sure you get the right deal, there’s plenty of choice:

• Package 1 - Early Bird Offer - £70.00
1 x Fully Sublimated Shirt with number
1 x Pure Colour Shirt with single colour logo & number
1 x Pure Short with number
 (Normally - £90.57*)

• Package 2 - Early Bird Offer - £55.00  
1 x Fully Sublimated Shirt with number
1 x Pure Short with number
(Normally - £68.00*)

• Package 3 - Early Bird Offer - £50.00
2 x Pure Colour Shirt with single colour logo & number
1 x Pure Short with number
 (Normally - £62.96*)

• Package 4 - Early Bird Offer - £38.00

(Normally - £42.96*)

• Package 5 - Early Bird Offer - £35.00
1 x Pure Colour Shirt with single colour logo & number
1 x Pure Short with number
 (Normally - £41.48*)


So if you want professional kit, exclusively designed for Ultimate that will help you play better, order today.

For existing Lookfly teams topping up on two colour/three colour full custom gear (Edge design, Blade, Flash, etc), please contact us directly at (custom[at]lookfly.com) to see what we can do for you this year!

Now the important detail! To get this offer you have to order by Friday 25th November. Don’t forget that date. We wish we could make the deal last longer, but we need the time to make sure everyone can get their kit.

But if you order before 25/11/11, you’re guaranteed to have your kit 03/02/12, with plenty of time before regionals.

The deal won’t last forever, so don’t miss it. Place your order now.

*Normal estimate pricing based on squad of 12 players ordering 24 shirts and 12 shorts with single colour logo/numbers where applicable.

Lookfly at EUCF

EUCF is this weekend and here at Lookfly we're pretty excited about it. It’s one of the biggest events on the ultimate calendar and this year is set to be bigger than ever (and not just because we’re sponsoring it - haha!).

Some of the best teams in the Europe have fought their way in their respective regions to get this far, and we're looking forward to watching some top quality ultimate. The weather has also been booked in the beautiful city of Brugges as well, we hear. Imagine glorious Autumnal sunshine, hundreds of delicious beers to choose from, all the ultimate you could possibly hope to watch… plus the Lookfly Pitchside shop stocked with everything an ultimate player could possibly need!

The unusually warm weather means one thing… it’s going to get painfully cold very soon. Don’t be that guy, you know the one, the shivering guy, curled up in a ball for warmth? Clothes are an excellent warmth-solution and Lookfly sells plenty of them. As an added bonus, our clothes are also stylish and sexy.

We’ll have all the usual baselayers, technical zippies, glvoes, hoodies and zip jackets, plus a few more unusual extras:

Furious George gear
If you're playing at EUCF, chances are you're already pretty good at Ultimate. If you want to look amazing as well, pick up some top level ultimate Furious George gear. Check out the latest addition of Furious PJ's and Furious Hooded tops for sale.

Ultimate PJ’s
Keeping warm at night can be tough… you want the warmth, but not the layers. Luckily, scientists invented pyjamas to keep you both warm and comfy. We’ll be selling them, so stop by if you need some.

As sponsors, we're excited to be giving all those attending a free Lookfly gift. We can’t say what it is… but you’re going to love it. We've also got a great deal exclusive for players at EUCF2011 - check out the voucher below and head on over to the Pitchside shop!

Lookfly at UK Nationals

Nationals weekend is almost here and the excitement is building. As main sponsors, we'll be at the event with plenty for you to enjoy.

If you need gear, head to our shop. There will be a sale on shirts, shorts, hoodies, and everything else you need. You can also try out performance gear at our testing station. We'll have gloves, NewLife fabric, and InASkin baselayers for you to try.

Litter is a problem at any tournament, including nationals. To help keep things clean, we'll provide pitch-side recycling bins for all those water bottles. Recycling plastic bottles is a great way to help the environment. It not only cuts down on energy and oil consumption, but it also helps make performance clothing (our NewLife fabric is made from 100% recycled plastic).

So if you're heading to nationals, make sure you use our bins. If you can pull yourself away from the action, why not pay us a visit? We always love to talk ultimate.

2010 – 2011 Lookfly Back To Uni Ultimate Gear Offer!

Here at Lookfly, we love a challenge!
If your team thinks we can be beaten on price by our Ultimate competitors on like for like products – come and let us know about it and we will happily match it*. Just think, how much easier it would be not to have to deal with surprise customs tax and duty costs, import paperwork, foreign currency transfer charges, lengthy transit times and communication delays due to time differences. Buying local not only has its organisational benefits, but it’s also more environmentally friendly and may cost much less than you think. For example, an order of 15 single colour Lookfly 4Active shirts, all with single colour print and number will cost just £19.30 inc. VAT** per jersey including delivery to your door! If you can find that price cheaper with our Ultimate competitors elsewhere, come and challenge us about it. We’d love to hear from you.

>Grab Yourself 15% Off!

Lookfly would also like to help the budget conscious amongst us this year. We know not everyone can afford a set of two technical jerseys and shorts, and players may need to
make compromises on their away kit and accessories.
Consequently, we are excited to offer 15% off team orders of cotton wear (including t-shirts, zip jackets and hooded tops) when your team places an order of Lookfly 4Active Technical shirts***. What’s more, this offer is available for the duration of the 2010 – 2011 academic year and doesn’t end until 30th June 2011.
