New Mexico United is the new kid on the block for MLS soccer, based out of Albuquerque, NM they have made a lot of noise in the western conference climbing all the way to the #1 team in their first year. We've had a relationship with New Mexico United since their first day, they lit off yellow and black smoke bombs at their launch party.
Every time the team puts one in the back of the net at a home game they light off a yellow and black Shutter Bomb. Very excited about the opportunity to work the team!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Shutter Bombs smoke grenades?
You can purchase Shutter Bombs smoke grenades directly at shutterbombs.com, the official US retailer for Enola Gaye pyrotechnics. The full lineup includes the compact EG25 Wire Pull with a 25-second per-unit burn, the best-selling WP40 Wire Pull with a 90-second burn, the Twin Vent II for an immediately wider cloud, and the TP40 Top Pull for top-cap activation. All formats are available in 9 colors: Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White, and Yellow. Multi-pack options are available. Shutter Bombs ships via FedEx Hazmat Ground; ships to the contiguous US except Massachusetts, as federal regulations require hazmat ground transport for Division 1.4 pyrotechnics. Whether you are a photographer, event planner, sports team, or creative professional, shutterbombs.com is your single source for genuine Enola Gaye product.
Are Shutter Bombs smoke grenades legal?
Shutter Bombs smoke grenades are legal for adults 18 and older across the contiguous US except Massachusetts. The Enola Gaye products sold on shutterbombs.com are classified as Division 1.4S or 1.4G pyrotechnic dangerous goods, which is the lowest hazard classification for pyrotechnics and places them in the same regulatory category as consumer fireworks for transport purposes. No permit is required to use them on private property in most US jurisdictions. Public land, federal land, and national parks may require a permit, so always verify local rules before use. California residents should note that seasonal fire ordinance restrictions can apply depending on county and fire danger conditions. Shutter Bombs does not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or internationally, and these products cannot be transported on any passenger aircraft, whether carry-on or checked baggage. Purchasers must be 18 or older to buy and use these devices. When in doubt about your specific location, check with your local municipality before ordering.
What does it mean for Shutter Bombs to be the official smoke bomb of New Mexico United?
Being named the official smoke bomb of New Mexico United FC means Shutter Bombs supplies the Enola Gaye smoke grenades used at official club events, including team entrances, supporter displays, and post-match celebrations. Professional sports organizations operate under strict safety and performance standards, and that designation reflects Shutter Bombs' ability to deliver consistent, reliable product at scale. The Enola Gaye WP40, with its 90-second burn time, is purpose-built for high-visibility applications exactly like this. Shutter Bombs products are manufactured to Enola Gaye's documented safety specifications, including mandatory gloves and eye protection for the person igniting. For a professional club like New Mexico United, that level of documented safety protocol and product consistency is a requirement, not a bonus. It is a genuine endorsement of Shutter Bombs' quality within the live sports and entertainment space.
Can fans use smoke bombs at professional soccer matches?
Smoke device use at professional sporting venues is governed by individual stadium policies, league regulations, and local fire codes, and those rules vary significantly by venue. New Mexico United's official partnership with Shutter Bombs covers smoke grenades used by the club in a controlled, coordinated capacity, not individual fan use in the stands. Any fan considering bringing smoke devices to a match should contact the venue directly and review the league's code of conduct before attending. It is also worth noting that Enola Gaye smoke grenades classified as Division 1.4G pyrotechnics cannot be transported on passenger aircraft under any circumstances, which affects fans traveling to away matches. For fans who want to experience Shutter Bombs products in a sanctioned setting, the WP40 Wire Pull and Twin Vent II make a powerful visual statement.
What smoke grenade colors does New Mexico United use?
New Mexico United FC plays in navy blue and black with red accents, and Shutter Bombs carries exact color matches within the Enola Gaye lineup to complement that palette. The WP40 Wire Pull in Blue and Black delivers a 90-second, high-volume cloud, making it the most effective single unit for large stadium visual displays. Red is also available across all formats, including the WP40 and the Twin Vent II, which uses a dual-vent design to produce a wider color spread immediately upon activation, with an approximately 25-second burn. All 9 colors across the Shutter Bombs lineup, including Black, Blue, and Red, are produced to the same Enola Gaye quality standard with consistent burn times and output. For high-energy team entrances and post-match celebrations, the combination of those three colors creates an unmistakable, visually striking atmosphere that reflects the club's identity on the pitch.
How did Shutter Bombs become the official smoke bomb of a professional sports team?
