Silverman / Sports Nashville Predators: It Stays With You

Posted by Jack Silverman on Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 2:44 PM

Last month, the Nashville Predators released their 2008-09 marketing theme, created in partnership with marketing firm Gish, Sherwood & Friends: "It Stays With You." Well the only thing that has stayed with us is how lame that tagline is. First, if you say it after the team's name, it sounds strange. Shouldn't it be "They Stay With You"? I guess the "it" in question is the team's performance. Second, as Scene art director Rob Williams recently pointed out, the slogan sounds like a description of a bad Mexican meal. In fairness, the Predators' new TV ad campaign has been pretty entertaining. Check out a "making of" video here. Still, we think they could have done better with the tagline. If that was the best candidate, we've been amusing ourselves speculating what some of the rejected taglines might have been: It Passes Through You Not Going Anywhere at the Moment Stuck in Nashville for Now Because You Give a Puck What Would Jordin Do? Red Wings, Schmed Wings It Keeps You Running Like Curling, With Fewer Teeth NASCAR on Ice Tootoo Bad More Teeth Than Cheatham County Not the Sexual Kind We Do It Without Boots Nashville: The Bashkortostan of the South Good Sections Still Available That's our best so far. So, intrepid Pith readers, whaddya got?

I don't know who Chrome Dome is, but he just schooled me! Where were you when I was writing the damn blog post? Good work. I particularly love the the nipples and goons entries.

"More teeth than Cheatham County"
Ah yes, poor rural whites once again provide an easy punchline. The one remaining safe stereotype at which urban "progressives" can sneer with impunity and feel superior. As we say in Pegram to such malarkey, go fuck yourself.

There are plenty of other stereotypes to sneer with impunity as well as Cheatham County, but its as good a place to start as any.
GO PREDS!
