SPORTS UNIVERSITY has won the New Jersey State D2 title for 15-yr olds with a resounding 74-53 win over the Hoops Starz Gym Rats of Bergen County. The entire team was wearing their lucky PONY Quix basketball shoes during their route through playoffs and the team was coached by legendary PONY athlete Darryl Dawkins
In only their 1st full season of AAU competition, Sports University achieved this title by running the table of games before them, and going 6-0 throughout the NJ State Tourney, beating teams by an average of 18 pt’s per game! Their sights are set squarely on the National Tournament July 7-11 in Little Rock Ark.
We hope their Pony Quix continues to bring them good luck!
Hey Pony Peeps!
AsianThunder here (aka marketing dude). Wanted to share some cool stuff with you guys. Check out our new tv spots - Pony’s first in nearly 15 years. Hopefully, you laugh at the right moments. Heck hopefully you will just laugh. Pony is trying to keep it real and we want you to know that we are back - and we are here to compete with the Big 3 again in the athletic shoe market. We also want you to realize it’s just shoes, not life and death so we wanted to have some fun and poke some fun at some of the most recognized TV spots created over the last couple years. Check em out - and let me know what you think.
Our spots were shot in a sound stage in LA over the course of 12 hours. JAY BRANTLEY: Jay (’Boogie’) and DOUG TAIT started off the day warming up and showing off some serious hoops skiills. Jay Boogies’s handles were off the hook. I tried to show off my own skills and Jay Boogie was impressed. I think he was being kind. Doug Tait was quite the trooper as we dumped over 300 paris of shoes on his head. That was not special effects. And we did more than one take. He had hair when we started.
Willie Warren, our football guy, actually played for the University of Miami Hurricanes as a D1 wide reciever. He worked up quite a sweat as we put him thru 4 hours of running, jumping, catching balls, taking Pony shoes to face. Yours truly, AsianThunder, even had the chance to catch a few balls from the Jugs machine himself. Way cool.
The day finally ended with ADAMO PALLADINO, our soccer guy writing “determination” on a glass backboard for about 2 hours. Who said making tv commericals isn’t exciting and glamorous. These spots will air on stations like Fox Sports, ESPN, MTV, BET, VH-1, TNT, FX, Spike, MSG just to name a few in March/April.
Oh - and be sure to check the “making of” to see some of the fun behind the scenes activies that went on during the shoot. It’s all on PonyTV!
