Following on from last years popular ad the guys in the Blaze front office have again been hard at work and come up with another slick and well produced product. I understand this is to be shown in cinemas and also on the local TV stations on the coast.

Interesting that there were a few critics of the last 36ers ad that had more empty-gym-preparations than game footage.
National Skipping League.
Wonder if there's anything approaching proven numbers that show which style of ad is more effective - something like this, or something that shows a lot more actual game play?
It's polished but I don't really like the Wright rhetoric. And I wonder what people will make of the "5 years" line?
I suspect the league and clubs overthink the theme of an ad sometimes. The Breakers a while back had that 24 seconds thing. Now the NBL have a shotclock and the IMO awkward "It goes off." Would it kill the sport to show off big moments and crowds? At least the NBL started in that direction a bit this year even if some of their highlights were a bit weak because they were scared to show players that weren't in the league or weren't local.

Isaac, I think this sort of advert works for a club that's in its infancy within the league.
The Sixers have too much history to resort to simply having workout close-ups and empty gyms.
I think the club needs to go with a timeline advert with clips from all the different periods, perhaps finishing off by having 5-6 players from the different periods all together saying some like "We're Sixers for life" or some such dribble.
When you have 20+ years of history (most of it recorded one way or another) you've just got to use it.
10 players, 5 years of failure and they talk about redemtion, couldnt even afford color.
