GRENADE AND NEW ERA ELEVATE PARTNERSHIP

PORTLAND, ORE. (December 17, 2009) -- Grenade announced today that all non-knit headwear will be exclusively produced by New Era, beginning in Fall 2011. The deal further strengthens the brands' already powerful alliance.

The deal was forged by Grenade CEO, Joseph Condorelli, and has been in motion for more than a year. The announcement today elevates the relationship to one of the strongest in the industry. While New Era already produced many of their caps, the timing of the exclusive partnership coincides with the production of Grenade's most comprehensive line in history.

Condorelli noted how well New Era's years of dependability and Grenade's boldness and enthusiasm complement each other.

"New Era makes the best caps in the world. Grenade makes the boldest products out there. This team will truly mark a New Era for the industry," said Joseph Condorelli, Grenade CEO

"It's insane to work with such great people," said Danny Kass, Grenade President

The current issue of New Era's Your Lifestyle Fitted magazine features Danny Kass on the cover. Check it out to learn how Grenade was built and how they developed strong alliances with top brands such as New Era.

#13 Unit Tool

"I got an idea, instead of letting your kids use your fancy tool and losing them. Give 'em the Unit Tool for the holidays. Its an inexpensive tool that fits in the backpack or pocket. It covers every nut and screw any skateboard or long board. Use it to tighten the kingpin nut, so your truck don't wobble or use it to on the wheel that feel off because the axle nut came loose. Eitherway the unit tool has you covered."

The Snow has Fallen, Now Go Shred

This was a pretty good storm, all the mountains have been waiting patiently for natural snow. This gives them the base that they've been looking for, you can expect lots of mountains opening this weekend. If you plan on going Thursday, i would head far north towards the west, where it remained snow and didn't turn to slush. Good luck and have fun out there.
