Nike Culminates Another Football Season This Weekend; Challenging Players, Fans to 'LEAVE NOTHING'
31 January, 2008
Nike's LEAVE NOTHING football campaign that captures the true essence of pouring heart and soul into every play and every game continues this weekend in much the same way it began the season back in September.
Beginning Saturday morning during ESPN SportsCenter and running
throughout the weekend on the sports network, Nike will air two
different 30-second spots tracking the progress of New England
Patriots offensive players Tom Brady, Wes Welker and Kevin Faulk, and
New York Giants defensive players Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan
throughout the NFL play-offs. The two different spots converge in a
breathtaking goal line collision between Faulk and Strahan in the
Super Bowl before going to black, leaving the outcome up to the
imagination of the viewers.
To kick off the NFL season, Nike introduced a similar creative execution that tracked the progress of San Diego Chargers defensive player Shawne Merriman and St. Louis Rams offensive player Steven Jackson.
