How cool would this be??? Dikembe Mutumbo Tribute GET RED! FOAM FINGERS! For one of the next home Playoff games. The Rockets find a sponsor, who instead of printing up RED tshirts where their corporate logo rivals the Rockets 'R'.... Make Red Foam Fingers with the number '55' on it, and hundreds if not thousands of fans shake their RED Mutumbo Foam Fingers at the Blazers as we knock their ass out the first round.
I wonder if I should just call and ask for someone in Rockets Marketing??? http://www.nba.com/media/rockets/StaffDirectory.pdf Someone please photo shop the GET RED Toyota Center Photo with a bunch of Foam Fingers and send it to them. This is way better that those Warriors WE BELIEVE tee shirts that caught fire a bit ago.
I forwarded the idea to the rockets twitter they replied saying its impossible to do with such short notice also said they did that last year already for the deke tribute http://twitpic.com/3rzbd i said they should do it for game 3 of the 2nd round then!
Seems like since they have already made these fingers, it shouldn't be too difficult to produce another set.
exactly. let me translate. they don't want to spend the money to get them done in time. FIND A SPONSOR ROCKETS! Dont make excuses! Make stuff happen! Somebody at Rockets Marketing is not on their job. Do you know how much air time that would get? I had a friend that practically made a living off the Warriors WE BELIEVE tees fo almost an entire season after the Warriors schooled the Mavs.
actually they may not have time to do it for friday....unless they go cheap again and only provide like a few hundred (like they did with some of the tshirts for lower bowl only) it may take a week to produce thousands overseas and have them shipped over here thats why i said they should try to do it for game 3 of the second round which is around ~ 2 weeks away. its still something they should get working on and have ready asap
We definitely need to do SOMETHING to honor Mutombo in the upcoming home playoff games... whether it's every fan possible making a sign or a hand with a wagging finger to honor him, or something. Mutombo needs to know how much we all appreciate him.
This is why you ask for a sponsor to pay for expediting the process and in exchange they can put their logo on it. Time = Money Money = Time Capture the moment Rockets Marketing! I can see Mutumbo Finger Wagging on the Jumbotron as the Toyota Center follows his lead while the Blazers/Lakers are forced to call a time out.
