== History ==

Paintball Junkies made its tournament debut at the 1999 [[Zap Amateur Open]]. Later that year, the company exhibited its clothing range at the [[1999 Zap Masters]], where contemporary coverage described clothing for men and women intended for use both on and off the paintball field.[1]

Chris Corcino, who established Paintball Junkies, subsequently founded [[Hybrid Products]] and [[Contract Killer]]. His involvement in the three brands was confirmed in a February 2023 interview with Paintball Nerd.[2]

The company continued exhibiting at paintball tournaments throughout the early 2000s, including the 2001 and 2002 Pan Am Circuit events in Washington. At the 2001 Seattle tournament, Paintball Junkies displayed its full range of jerseys and soft goods.[3]

In 2003, Roman Designs, Inc., based in Anaheim, California, applied to register the Paintball Junkies trademark. The application recorded 20 August 1999 as the brand's first commercial use. The trademark was registered on 27 July 2004.[4]
