Awesome!
Army had Camo helmets last year and I thought it would be interesting to see this on a jersey in the AIFA.
Glad to see the hometown Lions still doing great promotions this late in the season. Thanks
Columbus and Fayettville will probably see each other come playoff time unless Florence gets their core back(ain't gonna happen). This game is huge!!! Need homefield advantage really bad!

This is a great promotion. Shows support to our men and women in uniform and gets the community out to the game. A win-win situation.
The banner promotion has been great too. All contributors will have their name on a banner that the 3rd Brigade will be taking with them on their upcoming deployment.
For all the struggling teams out there, the name of the attendance game is community involvement. You can have the best team in the league but if no one comes out to see the games.... well we all know that result. Advertising is important but community involvement translates into community support and that is where your fan base comes from.
It takes a lot of hard work to accomplish this and the Lions staff, owners, coaches, and players are some of the hardest working people I know. It is a joint effort.
GO LIONS!! :smileylions:
