The rumors are true.  Sort of.  The Atama Mundial #7 has been discontinued and replaced with the Mundial #9.  From what I can tell, the #9 is the same as the number 7 with the exception of the embroidery and the tag at the back of the neck..  The Atama name has been changed to white on the blue and black jiu jitsu gis and black on the white gis.

I got a few complaints about the embroidery on the white jiu jitsu gi looking more pink than red.  I am sure Atama heard the same thing.

I like the white on black/blue as well.  The red embroidery from the #7 looked a lot better on the black though. 

I heard from Atama that the wholsale prices are going up.  It was supposed to happen yesterday, but I haven't seen a new price sheet yet.  From the way it sounds, I may not carry the Mundials any more.  If I do, the days of $129, $139 and $149 Mundials are long gone.

It is a shame, I really got a kick out of making such a great gi affordable for everyone.

Keep training,

Douglas
