For the 2025 season, Seattle Uprising is proud to partner with sponsors who share our vision and passion for the sport. Our sponsorship philosophy revolves around forming meaningful, focused partnerships that go beyond logos on jerseys. We choose sponsors whose values align with ours, emphasizing mutual growth and impact. This streamlined approach allows us to provide tailored content, exclusive gear integration, and extensive visibility across our events and social media platforms. Together, we aim to elevate both our team and our partners, fostering collaborations that strengthen the paintball community and drive the sport forward​​​.

 

Findlay Hats

Makers of hats built for good times, Findlay Hats has stepped up in a huge way to support Seattle Uprising as our Primary Sponsor for the 2025 season. Supporting a professional paintball team is expensive, and as an independent team, it’s even more challenging. Findlay, an outside-the-industry brand, has committed not only to keeping Uprising competitive but also to investing in the future of the sport. Their financial support is helping us stay independent while pushing paintball forward. We are honored to partner with a company that believes in our vision and shares our dedication to growing the game.

My name is Jimmy Hickey, and I run both Findlay Hats and Seattle Uprising. Supporting Uprising is personal to me. Growing up, the original incarnation of this team inspired me, and its players were people I looked up to. When we re-formed the team in 2011 to compete in the NPPL Pro Division, Uprising became a core part of my identity.

As I’ve grown and built my businesses, I’ve been fortunate to be in a position to help support Uprising and keep this legacy alive. Representing the Pacific Northwest on the national stage is an honor, even though running this team is far from a sound financial decision. It’s a passion project fueled by love for the sport, this team, and the community that surrounds it. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

 

DLX Technologies

Now in our fourth season with DLX Technologies, we continue to rely on their premium markers to perform at the highest level. Makers of the DLX IDOL, they deliver the best shooting markers in the game, a critical element for success on the field. Their ongoing support and top-tier products have been instrumental in helping Uprising compete at our best, and we’re proud to partner with a brand that sets the standard in paintball innovation.

 

Doodlebug Sportz

Our home field in Snohomish, Washington, DoodleBug Sportz provides the best paintball facilities in the Pacific Northwest. They’ve been a key part of Uprising’s journey for years, with many of our players growing up in the DBS camp and advancing through their ranks. Supporting both advanced and new players, DBS has been instrumental in fostering talent and growing the sport. We’re proud to call them home and grateful for their continued support.


Pacific Star Gutter

 

Owned by former Uprising player Kyle Martel, Pacific Star Gutter has joined forces with Seattle Uprising to help support the team in 2025. Kyle’s commitment to the team and his friends is truly honorable, especially as we navigate the challenges of funding a competitive season. His support, alongside Findlay, is a game-changer for us.

Serving Snohomish, King, and Island Counties since 1985, Pacific Star Gutter specializes in seamless gutter installations, replacements, and gutter guard solutions. With a focus on quality craftsmanship and a 10-year warranty on their work, they provide durable, stylish solutions that protect homes from the Pacific Northwest’s rain. From aluminum and copper to K-style and half-round gutters, they offer a range of options to match any home’s architecture. We’re grateful for Kyle’s partnership and proud to have Pacific Star Gutter in our corner.


Kinetic Paintball

 

We are excited to announce our partnership with Kinetic Paintball for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Uprising will be the first professional team to represent Kinetic on the NXL Pro Field, wearing their jerseys and pants known for their quality and performance.

In 2024, Uprising players tested multiple brands and unanimously chose Kinetic as the gear we wanted to wear. Their focus on innovation and attention to detail impressed our team, our community, and other top-tier players. Kinetic is not just a gear brand but a partner invested in helping us succeed. We are proud to work with them as they push the limits of what paintball apparel can achieve.
