This was put up today (New York time), has just come up on twitter and I thought you guys might enjoy the new kit even more.

It's certainly better than the 50 foot poster of Pav and Defoe that was up in Bristol a couple of years ago.

This is good on many levels.

1) Getting such space in NYC helps give a boost in a country where everybody gravitates towards the club du jour.
2) Under Armor and HP - just got massive free adverts. I bet they are feeling a bit better about their investment.
3) New York might be one of the friendliest football towns in the US. But that's a whole new level of friendliness

Looks like they're calling it the PL, not BPL as I originally thought.

edit: for those that don't know, NBC Sports bought the rights to PL games from Fox Soccer this year, bringing more coverage to the States (supposedly every game will be available online, at least). Hence the advertising.

whew. That would have been bad. Thanks for clarifying.

His head looks too big.

Actually they used the hashtag #BPLonNBC in the tweet, so what do I know. Isn't the official name the "Barclays Premier League" ?

My friend in New York was the guy who posted this on twitter . Said he couldn't believe it when he come out of his hotel this morning to see that. Incredibale stuff!

His head looks too big.

Think that's due to perspective...

His shoulders and arms are further away due to the corner column (it also makes his torso look a bit off)

Also, a couple weeks ago i was watching Athletics on Espn2 (America) stream and one of the adverts in the break
was for the PL live matches they will have next season and the clip was Bale's goal against West Ham, and then
hugging it out with Andre. Thats was cool.

Ugh, now I just want some Sbarro pizza.

I think Under Armour helps with our exposure here as well, they are the dominant brand in most sporting good stores. As far as sporting clothing sales go, they are well and above nike, adidas, warrior , etc.

[yank]Why has that dude got a chicken badge on his shirt?[/yank]

Seriously though, this is massive. Great exposure for the club, we simply cannot afford to sell Bale in the near future (next summer included) if we want to take a slice of his massive publicity.

New Yorkers must have woke up and looked up at that thinking it's King Kong all over again!

 

[Danners9]

Aaaamazing.

very very nice

i honestly didn't even know NBC sports network was picking up the EPL contract until now.... hopefully they have decent coverage. the thing i liked about fox soccer before is they seemed to have spurs games live 90% of the time

I thought this would cheer people up after the Villa/other transfer stuff.
