N.J./BKN NETS ~ The Billboard Wars Continue; Nets Claiming Their Turf
Brooklyn Trolley Blogger
While the Nets' season might be coming to a close after playing to a less than desirable record, and while their cross-Hudson River rivals are making preparations for the post-season and the Boston Celtics, there is one key match-up in-where the Nets stand toe to toe with the Knicks: Signage.
"Less than desirable?" How about awful?
The Nets launched their latest offensive in the Battle of the Billboards.
Unfortunately, billboards don't win games or sell tickets. Especially this one.
Yesterday, the Nets unveiled a second billboard in Brooklyn featuring Deron Williams and Barclays Center. It follows the same theme as their Times Square ad focusing on the move to the Borough of Kings.
It Reads:"WELCOME TO BROOKLYN"
NoLandGrab: Apparently the Nets haven't rehired the marketing staff they laid off in April 2009. Surely they didn't pay someone to come up with that line.
