Hope for JT Sports?

Posted by  on 29 January 2010, 9:56 am

Following up on the post about JT Sports’ financial difficulties, there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel after all. According to View From the Deadbox, KEE Action Sports will be announcing news regarding JT Sports. It seems that KEE has agreed to partner up with the troubled manufacturer, and we will later see what the future holds for JT. An interesting point is to see will this hope extend also to the to-be-closed-down Neosho plant and JT ball manufacturing in general. The internet also reports that the official statement will be out next Monday, February 1st 2010.
