Hey #derbytwitter Sorry we've been quiet on here, but tomorrow at 7pm GMT we are releasing our new logo to the world! We can't wait to show you what we've been working on!

And so it begins!
BRD are very excited to announce we’ve officially started training together. Even though contacts off the cards for now it’s amazing to be back on skates making loads of new friends.

Doing that merger piece for BRD really gave me an appreciation for just how many current/former skaters from Birmingham either skated or coached at the World Cups. This list is prolly not complete. Gotta be up there in terms of # of skaters.

@thederbyapex I have just been reminded that Suzette la Flamme also skated for team West Indies at the 2014 world cup. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more that I am missing. Hopefully there will also be even more to come in the future!

[Now part of Birmingham Roller Derby @blitzdames]

@thederbyapex We can’t wait until we can all skate together. I can add Thunderkat to the list who skated for team Wales at the 2014 World Cup and Violet Attack is a coach for Team GB juniors. We also have lots of super fans.

@luckyot It is so exciting! Hopefully we all still remember how to skate. 🛼💪😀

Up the Midlands, Up the Mergers!

@jackson_villain The pandemic has definitely given us a lot of time to reflect and plan our return as a new stronger league and we cant wait to start skating together with all our new teammates!

[Now part of Birmingham Roller Derby @blitzdames]

We are not planning to have a can as our logo forever and are looking for help in designing our new brand. BRD will offer a competitive rate of pay for carrying out any agreed work. You can read the brief here:

@howsteph We are very excited! Although we need to figure out if we all still remember how to skate before we can be formidable 😀

@polar1980bear We are very excited! The pandemic has given us a lot of time to think and plan for our return to skating as a combined league.
