Maybe the Giants should have sweetened the pot by advertising "One Free Medium Pepsi" for every fan dressed in their very best 1920s garb. So, gentlemen, get out your fedora, top 🎩 and pocket watches. Ladies, get out your parasol, 👒 , girdle and Victorian-era dress so everyone, not just the Giants, will look 100 years out of place. Maybe the spirit of Jim Thorpe will enter the Giants' huddle and the magic from a century ago will fire a light under this team in the season to come.
Yes, folks, they had Pepsi in 1925.
Peace!

Quote from: Ed Vette on May 16, 2024, 12:11:19 PMAt least 8 is featured.The marketing department wasn't involved.
Quote from: Ed Vette on May 15, 2024, 02:20:18 PMWouldn't Jones throwing to Nabors and Hyatt make for an exciting promotion. The team is struggling to find an identity and this was the best they could do.And add Singletary as well. There's a new 26 in town.
The veiled conspiracy theory would be who will the starting QB be for the NY Giants when the media is dropping hints of a competition between two struggling passers.

Can I ask you a few questions, which I hope will better articulate my point?
1. Do yo believe the Giants have an extensive marketing department?
2. Do you believe the Giants conducted research pertaining to the players the fanbase was most excited about, which coupled with thier internal data (e.g. jersey sales, media request, etc) allowed them to glean who thier most marketable players are?
3. If you believe 2 occurred, isn't it logical to place the players that polled/rated the highest on the marquee?
Also, to Ed's point, the Giants would look foolish to promote DJ, only to go in a different direction early in the season.
From my perspective, I just have a hard time believing a multi-billion dollar organization randomly chose three players to promote without doing extensive research.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 15, 2024, 02:06:36 PMWell, that same marketing department thought it was a good idea to give fans a soda for fan appreciation day, so there's that.
Quote from: Ed Vette on May 15, 2024, 01:59:15 PMThey don't know who the starting QB will be.That's a *little* more plausibe. Little.
