"Oglo(TM) FULL COLOR Glow in the Dark Sports Changes the Game for Glow in the Dark Technology"
NEW YORK, March 15, 2011 — NSI International Inc., a global manufacturer of innovative youth-oriented consumer products, announces the launch of Oglo™ Sports – the only line of FULL COLOR Glow in the Dark sports products.
Oglo™ Sports are real, high-quality sporting goods like baseball bats and balls, hockey pucks, soccer and footballs, flying discs and more. Using technologies covered by numerous patents, Oglo Sports are super-bright colors by day and glow in the dark in the same super-bright colors at night. What this means is that a blue bat glows in the dark in blue, a red football glows in the dark in red and a yellow flying ring will glow in yellow. “Our new technology is a huge improvement over traditional glow in the dark and adds performance and fun never before seen in real sporting goods,” said Frank Landi, President of NSI International.
The high-quality sporting goods can be charged with regular sunlight, room light or just about any other light source and then glow in the dark for hours.
