Green Talladega Sea?

OK, let’s say Junior finishes top ten on the Beach. Then does well out in LA. The fans start to come back. Not that they’ve actually left. But maybe their ready to come back out of the tool shed.

So the question is, will there be a sea of green by ‘Dega? I just don’t see it.

Look, everyone likes red. It’s bright, fast and everyone knows chicks look hotter in red. And dudes look… well, fast. Heck, I got a dozen red shirts, and I ain’t even a Jr. fan!

Worst case scenario… April 27th, Talladega- Jr. has several top-tens and maybe even a win. The fans are back and showin’ their colors. But many aren’t quite ready to sport the new green, so they pull out the old Red Bud Special. The stands are a checkerboard of Christmas colors that only St. Nick would cheer for. The photographer turn away. NASCAR looses it’s deal with ABC (we can only hope).

There’s only one solution: Change Mountain Dew’s logo to RED!
Got a better idea? Let’s hear it.

I see lots of blue, and lots of green, but it won't be as overwhelming as the red was before. I think it's a mistake for Junior to go with 2 sponsors. I know it's more money, but people will have to choose between the two and the merchandise isn't that visually appealing. Plus, who can beat Bud as a sponsor?

Agree about the two-sponsor problem.

And doesn't AMP compete with dew for the sugar and caffeine market? Or are they both owned by Pepsi?

Some people will break out their old number 8 stuff and some people will buy his new AMP/Guard stuff. I'm a Jr. fan and I have yet to find myself a new 88 sweatshirt so I just wear my old no. 8 bud sweatshirt.


BTW, kkfan91 you kasey fans now have red sea all to your selves so use the power wisely...lol
