Updates and a Lame Screen Printer

It's been a very busy few months with designing and unfortunate production problems!  A screen printing company out of New York by the name of Team Screen completely screwed us!  They received several pairs of our trunks to print on and never shipped a single pair to us?!  After countless attempts at communication, Ability hired an attorney to write letter heads requesting the trunks, and unfortunately Team Screen refused to respond, and we unfortunately never got the trunks.  Every letter head costs, and it got to the point where more money and time was being spent on collecting the trunks than the actual cost of them.   On top of that, Team Screen was doing all of our print work, which obviously ceased after that episode.  Therefore we had to search for new printers, and I'm happy to say that we have found a LEGIT one!  We're glad to say that the production is back on track, and Ability 2012  gear will be available soon!  Thanks for bearing with us through this difficult time!
