The new promotional baseball season is in full swing, and the New York Yankees are looking red hot! Currently in second place in the majors, the Yanks look like they will surely feature in the playoffs this season when they attempt to regain their title as World Series Champions. Their famous logoed cap is one that is recognized worldwide, and it’s no doubt that with the success they’ve been having this season, they’ll surely continue to sell more. So get ready for the custom bats to start flying, as the Yankees continue their streak in their quest for world dominance!

King Lebron

When a panel comprising of 123 sportswriters and broadcasters give 116 votes to one player in promotional sports, you know that you’re good. Cue in Lebron James, who was on the positive side of that vote for this year’s NBA MVP. What this man can do with a logoed basketball is ridiculous, and it’s no wonder he won, seeing that he’s currently in the playoffs hoping to lead his team to the trophy. While many doubt if he’ll remain with the Cavs next season, few can doubt his incredible ability when it comes to playing basketball.

Shark Attack!

The San Jose Sharks scored three goals in 79 seconds to help them claim a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings in Game 1 of the second-round series in the NHL playoffs. In a crazy game that had it all, fans were clutching their promotional hockey stress balls, as the game was a certain rollercoaster ride, as the Red Wings made a valiant comeback; however it was the Sharks to be victorious, scoring a late goal to claim victory. This playoff season is certainly turning out to be quite a circus act, so hold on to your custom hats, as we gear our way to the Stanley Cup Finals!

Both Football’s Are Going Retro

Well it seems the NFL isn’t the only league trying to bring back retro jerseys. It appears that a team from the other type of football league is going to do the same, namely promotional soccer team Manchester United. Bringing back the custom shirts from their 1980-1 campaign, Manchester United have displayed their new shirts…and they look great. Reintroducing the collar to a soccer jersey is a great idea, as now after every goal, one can pop them in celebration!

The Worst Miss Ever!

Kamara goal called back @ Yahoo! Video

Well for promotional soccer highlights, this has to be one of the most embarrassing. Kei Kamara missed an extremely easy opportunity to score when he failed to hit the back of the net when the ball was on the actual goal line! I feel like my two year old nephew could have scored from there, and he has only played with a customized stress ball that’s shaped like a soccer ball! Regardless of this, check out this video and have yourself a laugh or two.

Opinions Wanted

So here’s something that has me scratching the back of my head…is poker a sport or does ESPN just show it on their network because of it’s vast following? There’s the lack of intense physical exertion that poses one problem against it being a sport, however the anxiety, strategy and stakes at hand are all qualities that make up a sport. So with that, I leave it to you to help decide. Grab your friends, customized poker chips and logoed playing cards and sit down and have a real game of poker. If it at the end it’s as exhausting as if you’d played a full game of baseball then I’d say that this promotional game is definitely a sport.

Ultimate Fun

When dealing with sports, one doesn’t necessarily have to just discuss the most popular ones that are shown on TV. There are different promotional sports out there that are perfect for everyone, such as ultimate frisbee. An immensely popular game for college students, or park-goers, winging around a custom frisbee is just plain fun…and making a game out of it is even better! Frisbees are super cheap, and make for great personal summer gifts…so there’s really no reason for you to not try playing this sports game!

Sony and the Beautiful Game

While this may be an advertisement for Sony’s Bravia line of televisions, it still endorses the beautiful game…and it does it in a beautiful way! Using children in a promotional soccer game, Bravia brings you a high definition display with all of the feeling of a World Cup match. The custom advertising video also highlights the fact that this year’s World Cup is less than two months away…so why not watch it with all of your friends and family on a Bravia flat screen!
