This year they are not giving out the spirit kits (tshirts and banners). Here is part of an email from earlier in the year:





The “partnership” which was previously maintained by the team and store is no longer a requirement. If a jcpenney store has established a relationship with a local team that they wish to continue on their own, that is completely up to them on a local and voluntary basis.



Also:

NO jcpenney Spirit Kits (shirts/banners/stickers) will be provided in 2013.

NO additional Championship grants will be offered to jcpenney teams in 2013.
