The original Wichita Wings ceased operations in Holt says the team was a good addition to the MISL. Holt says the Wings appeared to be headed in the right direction and could have been a playoff team in another year or two. Major Arena Soccer League superstar Franck Tayou, a target forward, and his brother Uzi, a defender, have signed with the Wichita Wings for the remainder of the M2 season.
Wichita has become sort of a home away from home over the last handful of years so they know exactly what our culture is and what we want to accomplish for the city. It's a bit of a homecoming for the player dubbed "The King. He was named all MASL first-team last month, and led all scorers in the post-season with 14 goals in eight games after netting 14 goals in nine games in the regular season. For his remarkable indoor career he has goals in regular season games, dating back to his first season in with the Las Vegas Legends.
In addition, in 36 career post-season games, he has 52 goals. Uzi has blocked shots over the past six seasons, including a career best 38 blocks in Only this time, Hartman has graciously given Shumaker the trademark and a long-term lease at Hartman Arena. The extended term lease agreement has the team comfortably at home in Park City, Ks. Shumaker has partnered with a new ownership group and brings along the seven consecutive years of experience with FC Wichita.
The new ownership group plans to lean on that experience and the communities passion for the Wings to keep the new model sustainable. One of the community members who is already stepping up big is Family Mitsubishi , a locally owned car dealership who is preparing to announce their purchase of the Mitsubishi brand in Wichita. Beginning with a new brand in they quickly received national recognition on the field.
They were the first to use the Wichita flag in commerce. Since then, the city has seen its flag become a household item. The club logo has twice been voted second for best soccer crest in the United States. Most notably the team occupied Stryker soccer complex for years. Wichita is a special place for soccer, we can achieve great things for our community when we all come together.
Shumaker has done everything he promised and now is sharing the FC Wichita resources from around the country, helping to streamline the process for the new Wings owners.
Hummel, a world soccer brand who was previously interested in a partnership with FC Wichita have now shifted gears, making a great pitch to became the official uniform provider of the Wichita Wings, eventually inking a lucrative 3 year agreement with the team in August. But the most important thing Shumaker is hoping to do is to help the ownership group develop strong relationship with the MASL and its owners.
That relationship just might be the key to longevity of professional indoor soccer in Wichita. Indoor soccer has recently exploded with new viewership. It is becoming more and more common to see an experienced owner of an arena football team or a professional outdoor team make the investment into indoor soccer.
As that interest grew the need for an indoor soccer pyramid arose.
