The Major Sports Management Company in Lisander is opening the doors to new business horizons. While working on the new face of the Premiership and the National League of Lisander, we are beginning to operate outside Lisander, getting more unique, serving a few clients to ensure maximum quality.
With 75 years of tradition in Sports Clothing, we are the main supplier of uniforms for much of the national teams of Lisander as for various teams of the first and second division. Founded in 1937 by Luis Amato, began as a small factory where they produce shirts and shorts for the two football teams in the city of Despina, AS 1904 Virtus and West Athletic Club, as well as teams of Field Hockey, amateur teams and weekend players.
In the '50s and '60s, the brand began to expand to other parts of the country. The little factory grew, and a simple room in the street of the Lilies, came to occupy the entire block.
Soon there were other departments. New fabrics and new technologies for winter sports. Now all we did there, we had to import more foreign factories uniforms for teams of Ice Hockey, and can lower the price for our customers.
The advent of new technologies in sports equipment in the mid-80s and 90s, a bit difficult things for Oxygen. Lost contracts to other companies, for not stop following our standards. We could not compete with the price of strangers, even if the quality of our products has always been always the best, win or lose contracts. But after all, we can not ask that all teams have the same financial standards. We understand. We are from that time in which each player paid for his own jersey, which took home to their wives wash.
Then we realized that we knew a lot about the structure of sports like football, rugby, and both field and ice codes of hockey. We were a company that manufactured uniforms but had to buy the rest of the equipment we requested with other companies. Balls, sticks, bags, caps, material to the field ... Lot that gave us minimal profit. So we decided to change. Brought experts in the areas of branding, consulting, customization. Arrange exclusive contracts with several small businesses, and started to outsource support services infrastructure of the teams. Invest in new sports such as (american)football and basketball, bought equipment to do more and better, but now not only uniforms. After all, is not "all about the uniforms". Teams want a good structure, a cool look. And it was with this concept of integrating all sectors of the sport, which in 31/12/2000 (MT), the Oxygen Sports Cloting abandoned the market., to in the first day of the new millennium, 01/01/2001, reborn as O2 Sports.
Thus, our company is growing again, and win new contracts. But with the onset of the crisis in Lisander, some teams had problems, including Virtus Despina. Sold the team to a foreigner, undoing a partnership that had more than 70 years. The shares of our company fell since we produced highly material to the Virtus, from uniforms to bus personalization.
With the approval of the law that allowed the government to inject money in private companies, in March this year, we were invited to join the Group Harmin, which sponsors many sports throughout the country, which resumed in yield good returns. Back to being the largest sport in the country, and we opened our doors. First to the neighboring Republic of Virlandt where applications received 4 teams, but we accept only two, to maintain exclusivity.
At the same time, we were invited by FLF to produce, in partnership with the creation of Department of TristarBank the new visual identity of the new Premiership, which begins in August.
Now, we continued our opening plan for other nations and we are opening our International Storefront.
