At least i didn't buy anything more expensive from them than a singlet.
Can't wear it now.

Why am I not suprised?

I mean that a Tattooed finnish meathead that sells Viking themed equippment is a racist. It does surprise me that he actually posted that shit.

USAPL bans Metal brand equipment. I already threw out my Metal singlet.

I have a lot of pallets to burn this year.
Might have to do a Shugg with mine.

Hope none of you guys burned them just yet...

Because SBD is offering to send you a replacement for singlets/socks free of charge if you have proof of purchase on METAL stuff and have a USAPL membership...

That sounds like a positive & admirable thing SBD is offering to do. Good on them. Sure there's future profit potential, etc., but a good stance and message to send IMHO.

I don’t have a current membership to any fed and bought my Metal singlet more than a year ago. Oh well. Probably going with Titan next time I compete, whenever that is.

Sounds like you don't need to send them the equipment, just show proof of purchase.

Singlet will have one leg hole. They will send out a replacement tshirt, followed a few days later by 3 singlets with the correct number of leg holes, but one of them will be three sizes smaller than the one you originally ordered.

No, I actually didn't know there were two Titans.
Well, besides the two you fight in the Coliseum in Kindom Hearts.

Somehow, that makes it even funnier...

The unexpected Kingdom Hearts reference really did it for me here. Also fuck those guys, I was never good enough at it to beat them.

The titan bosses were just about over leveling and bashing away. Sephiroth, though, I broke at least one controller per playthrough on him.

Pretty shrewd marketing move by SBD there, besides being a really nice thing to do. They probably don't have to give that many away I'd imagine? Is the Metal singlet popular?

In other news, starting strength will only allow metal products in their next meet.
