US TV network covers New York City subway trains in team colours to promote coverage next season

[Armstrong_11]

The carriages are each decked out in half blue (or sky blue) and half red to promote two of the biggest derbies in England. Manchester City and Manchester United cover the outside of the train, while Spurs and Arsenal are on the inside, with club badges making their way onto seats.
The marketing ploy comes as NBC Sports tackle their first season as holders of Premier League rights in American, taking over from Fox Sports.
The network will air 380 live matches across its platforms next season, in a deal that was reported to be around $250million for three years, more than triple the $23million per-year deal that Fox was paying.

Why do I imagine the bottom part of that top picture smelling of piss?

I might be on the S this weekend, if i see it i'll take some pics.

This is the crosstown train between Grand Central Station and Times Square, probably one of the most ridden trains in the city. Great exposure once again.

Definitely Chelsea blue

 

[nferno]

Lol I wonder how Chelski, Everton and Lolpool fans feel ^^

Wrong blue for us, but the campaign for the Prem over there is fantastic. I love it.

 

[Super Tottenham]

Anyone think this advertising will work and get new people interested in America?

 

[Dougal]

Looks like my blue seat at the Lane, isn't that what it's meant to represent?

Yes there are now thousands of Spurs fans from around the world planning a trip on the subway.

Defo the cockerel on the blue seats

 

[Wardy]

Not sure I'd ride a train with the Arsenal logo on it

 

[have_it]

Did you see one of the comments below the article....someone asked if the toilets were decked out in Liverpool colours!!!

 

[Danners9]

Yeah, i'd wait for the next one

why were you late?
the subway was the wrong colour

Nah... Everyone was trying to squeeze into the tottenham carriage, I had to wait 3 trains. I mean who would want to sit or stand near an arse???


Actually... Wat u should do if u see the train is to bring red paint and paint over "nal" and "rse" on alternate seats. And write, "place -> here"
*evil laugh*

One thing to be said about the Arse seats tho . . . consider the following self-answering question:

y'know when you're coming home after being out on the lash in London, you're truly wankered, the train's stuck in a tunnel and you're desperate for a piss?

 

[nightgoat]

If it's in America shouldn't they have changed the spelling to Assnal?

 

[absolute bobbins]

Lol I wonder how Chelski, Everton and Lolpool fans feel ^^

Who cares about small clubs?

 

[Lenten]

[SandroClegane]

bloody hell 380 games live on US tv. never had it so good.

every single game will be available as nbc will have feeder channels that are live when they need extra channels. Also will allow to stream for free online through their site. Can't wait.
