(Head office: Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture; CEO: Takashi Sasanuma) have announced the launch of the "Support T-Card (Utsunomiya Brex)" ( https://tfan.jp/utsunomiyabrex/ A press conference to commemorate the publication start of the new newsletter on Thursday, September 1st was held on Thursday, August 25th at Brex Arena Utsunomiya (City Gymnasium).
To enable people to support the Utsunomiya Brex more easily through T Points, the B.League will be issuing the first-ever "Support T Card (Utsunomiya Brex)" from Thursday, September 1st. This card allows T Points earned at T Point partner stores nationwide to be automatically used to support the team, allowing you to support the team even with your everyday shopping.
The ticket face features the BREX logo as the main feature on a deep background, creating a simple yet luxurious design that will make holders proud of the Utsunomiya Brex. The ticket also embodies the desire to make the Utsunomiya Brex known to many people, not just fans. The same card design can also be used as a "Mobile T Card" via the "T Point App" on your smartphone.
In addition, for those who are paid members of the fan club (CLUB-REX), a "Support T-Card (Utsunomiya Brex)" will be included in the first shipment, scheduled to be sent around late August 2022, and will be delivered to you in advance.
Comments from the speakers
Tochigi Brex Co., Ltd. President and CEO Mitsumasa Fujimoto
This time, we will be issuing T-Cards that will help support the Brex. The T points you save on a daily basis can be used to support the team. We started this initiative because we felt that if T Card holders visited T Point affiliated stores and spent money, it would be valuable for both our team and the local economy.
The cards will be issued starting September 1st, and fan club members will receive a T-Card as a special gift. In the future, you will be able to earn T-points when you purchase merchandise at Brex home games, and attendance points will also be available.
The T-Card design is an original Brex design, making it easy for people to become familiar with.
We hope that as many people as possible will use Brex's T Card and spend it at T Point affiliated stores, which will help revitalize the city.
Keita Sugiura, President and CEO of T Point Japan Co., Ltd.
We are grateful that Brex has introduced the support T-Card. Usagiya has been supporting the Brex since 2015, which is why the supporter T-Card was made possible. Usagiya also has a presence in TSUTAYA, which I think is also a great opportunity. We hope to continue supporting the Utsunomiya Brex together.
In Tochigi Prefecture, 1 million people, or 52% of the prefecture's residents, have a T Card. If you exchange your regular T-Card for this support T-Card at a T-Point affiliated store, T-Points will be donated as support. The app can also be used as a mobile T card.
We hope that by having more people visit T Point affiliated stores and having fans use their T Cards to support the Brex, we can all work together to promote the Brex in the local community.
Usagiya Co., Ltd. Representative Director: Takashi Sasanuma
Our company has been supporting the Brex as an official sponsor since 2015. From the beginning, we have used our stores to act as advertising outlets for the Brex and have taken various initiatives with the goal of increasing the number of local Brex fans. Brex has introduced T Points as a T Point agent, and in the future we hope to increase the number of T Point affiliated stores in the city, thereby increasing the number of stores we can support and revitalizing the city.
We will begin selling support T-Cards at TSUTAYA stores operated by our company from September 1st, expanding the circle of support. We plan to carry out a T-Point campaign throughout the city of Utsunomiya, and encourage the entire city to support the Brex.
As a local company, we are pleased to not only support the Brex with the T-Card, but also to help promote the team even more than before.
Utsunomiya Brex #13 Hiroki Watanabe
In the past, I have worked as a one-day manager at Usagiya's TSUTAYA stores. TSUTAYA will issue support T-cards, and T-points will help support us. I believe that all of our players must continue to perform well and put on an entertaining match for the fans who come to watch.
