Sustainable support for the VIENNA DRAGONS

The Vienna Dragons won the Austrian Football League in 2022 and played their best season in 12 years. In the Austrian Bowl, they even defeated the future champions of the European League - the Vienna Vikings - and have been unbeaten for a remarkable 12 games.

To crown their successful season, the Dragons have decided to switch to sustainable KEEGO bottles to further optimize their performance. This decision is no coincidence, because in an intense sport like American football, hydration plays an extremely important role. Keeping hydrated quickly and as easily as possible optimizes the flow during training and games and thus supports performance.

The KEEGO bottles meet all these requirements perfectly.
Despite its titanium core, the KEEGO is squeezable, allowing fast and one-handed drinking, even during training or in the heat of the game. A targeted firm hand squeeze also makes it very easy to supply large amounts of liquid very quickly. Especially in football a decisive advantage:
Independent and targeted drinking without supervision by the staff and without a special attachment or the use of a plastic tube.

New U.S. Coach Fred Armstrong is excited about the decision: "Through my experience coaching in the U.S., I know that hydration is critical in American football. KEEGO bottles allow our players to hydrate quickly and easily while eliminating plastic waste. These bottles are the perfect solution for us.

"I think such bottles would also be a viable alternative in U.S. sports, and especially in the NFL, to reduce the wear and tear on single-use plastic bottles."

The titanium inside the KEEGO bottle ensures that the taste of the drink remains unadulterated and refreshing and prevents it from being contaminated by plastic or other harmful substances. From now on, plastic taste is a thing of the past when the Dragons quench their thirst.

The use of durable and long-lasting KEEGOs also saves hundreds of PET bottles per season that would otherwise end up in plastic waste.

After weeks of testing and putting the bottles through their paces, we asked the Dragons' head coach and players for feedback.

The following 5 main benefits were mentioned to us:

• Independent drinking
  Whether with or without a helmet, every player manages to quench his thirst with a squeeze, right on the dot and as fast as an arrow.
• Squeezability
  Drinking with a fun factor! And sometimes also a welcome quick cooling.
• Pristine taste
  "If there's one thing we'll never miss in our lives, it's that stale stale taste of the old plastic bottles."

• Easy to clean
  The KEEGO consists of a total of only 3 parts and is therefore very easy to clean. Titanium releases nothing and absorbs nothing. Thus, even with the addition of various beverage powders, there are no residues, no mold and no flavor transfer to the bottle.

• Sustainable
  Finally, no more full garbage bags and no more drinking bottles that have to be replaced regularly. A faithful companion for the whole season is enough!

Keego founder Lukas Angst: "We strive every day to develop the perfect bottle that meets the highest demands of the best athletes.
Especially in American Football there are very specific needs, which we have solved very easily with the KEEGO!
Like the Vienna Dragons, we believe that it is equally important to become more sustainable in elite sports. We are happy to be an official partner of the Dragons and look forward to the upcoming season and a further good cooperation.
