Town Sign Skins Deal - Ipswich Town News
Town have signed a deal with Skins, one of Australia's leading sports brands. The company produce high-tech sports compression clothing and is the market leader in sports-mad Australia.
The deal was brokered by Blues fan and Skins' general manager, David Ling - an ex-Suffolk county cricketer and the former captain of Ipswich Rugby Club in the early 70s.
Skins products have been designed to compress muscle groups to trigger an acceleration in blood flow, which means the players will be getting increased oxygen to their working muscles - resulting in an enhanced performance on match days.
Skins clothing is endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association and is unique in the market because its products are body mapped to compress certain muscles with varying degrees of pressure. That's unlike many other products which simply squeeze indiscriminately.
Simon Thadani, the club's fitness and conditioning coach, said: "Skins are one of the best kept secrets in sports â€" they're great pieces of kit and we're looking forward to seeing their impact on the team's performance, fitness and recovery as we seek to move up the table.â€Â
Skins products are available from their website.
