All you need to know about Illinois Football this season...

If this is their advertising campaign, they can't possibly have high hopes for the season.

I've seen worse.

 

[ISUCubswin]

LOL that made me laugh. That was awesome.

"Whatever Is Needed"? Sounds like an ad for Kum & Go, not a motto for a football team.

 

[CyCrazy]

I didn't need to see that to know Illinois is going to suck.

 

[Gnomeborg]

I laughed. That was good.

 

[isuno1fan]

I don't know what's come over me, but I'm now fired up for Illini FB!!!

Hump Day Commercial...

I think it shows higher hopes than the Bulls' "thick and thin" campaign a while back. This one is kind of corny though.

I liked that.

 

[cmoore_23]

Making a parody is not copywriting. Otherwise there wouldn't be any parodies of songs (covers as well), commercials, or movies on youtube or any other such medium.

I like those helmets, though.

Hadn't realized they got new ones ... from a quick web check, not sure if they'll still have the ILLINI design alternate (and orange-on-blue I version).

Struck me as a saying to mean "no selfishness" or something like that. We'll do whatever is needed to win, checking egos at the door.

I don't know, it's not the most clever, but really, most sports team mottos aren't that clever.

 

[istater7]

Wow, that was dumb.

 

[CascadeClone]

Not totally terrible. Not very inspiring either. It wouldn't make me want to buy tickets.

What it really does, is make me appreciate our marketing dept - they really do a phenomenal job.

I didn't like it because I'm already annoyed of that commercial.
