Slogan: Back to Basics

 

Commercials: (1) (Think Bull Durham-maybe even use the clip from the movie) This is a very simple game. You throw the ball (followed by clips of our pitchers pitching and maybe Viciedo throwing someone out at home), you catch the ball (followed by some web gem-type clips), you hit the ball (followed by a bunch of homerun swing clips). White Sox baseball--back to basics.

 

(2) Garcia and/or Eaton with Beckham and/or Ramirez and then Davidson/Gillaspie and maybe a few others at a bar/restaurant celebrating a win, the waitress brings over some drinks and starts to hand one to Davidson/Gillaspie when Garcia/Eaton intercept it and pass it to Beckham/Ramirez who then pass it to Davidson/Gillaspie. The waitress walks back to the bar looking slightly puzzled and asks the bartender what that was all about, to which he responds "Got to hit the cut-off man." White Sox baseball-back to basics.

 

(3) Black Screen, all you hear is the sound of a ball on bat, and then "Again." Another sound of ball on bat, "Again." A few more times, and the screen fades in to a video of Robin or another coach standing watching one of the players practicing bunts. White Sox baseball--back to basics.

 

(4) All the outfielders sitting together listening to Robin give scenarios, like "Man on first, single to left," or "men on first and third, flyball to deep center" and the group of them responding in unison with the appropriate base to throw to in each situation. White Sox baseball--back to basics.

 

Hawk would appreciate that.

For me, put a genuine potential contender on the field or no matter what they do my money stays in my pocket regardless of advertising. Maybe that's just me though.

Clearly a great goal for the marketing team.

Those sound good - except for the fourth one. It makes them look like amateurs. They're young, but they're still professionals. They better know that stuff already.

Try on Your Brand New Sox and one old familiar One.

Try on Your Brand New Sox and one old familiar One.

 

 

Yeah, that's not bad.

 

Your new Sox (Abreu, Garcia, Davidson, Eaton) and your favorite old pair (Konerko) that you just can't motivate yourself to throw away.

 

Maybe they could do without the pictures/graphics for the 2nd part.

 

 

 

Or a dirty old car being driven into the car wash with the team's record on the side and then coming out with Abreu, Davidson, Garcia and Eaton inside, freshly rinsed.

 

 

Or a play on "Young Guns," where instead of pitchers, the four new position players would show up on the horses riding into the foreground.

 

Maybe pose them on a battleship (and keep Taylor Kitsch out of the shot)...
