My 2 cents. 

A shirt exchange is a publicity stunt and not a way to make people adopt the bulls. What you will actually get is Bulls fans who have some old dingy gators gear swap it for more Bulls gear. No harm, but not winning over the hearts of our community. SG did one last year, reasonably successful, maybe collected 150 items or so. 

 

One correction, never donate the items to homeless in our community, give them to the homeless in another community (like Orlando) the goal is to get that gear out of our community. 

One thing I wished for, let’s make an alliance with the Bucs, Rays and lightning. Each team can send out one offer to the other 3’s season ticket base. We don’t give up our list, we send the Bucs offer to our fans and the Bucs send our offer to their fans. 

100 % agree thanks for typing what I'm too lazy to

I don’t disagree, but then we have to temper our expectations to match.

I was impressed at how quickly he responded. It is good to know that he (or his administrative assistant) are listening and responsive. In the future, we can use email blasts to really drive home any good ideas we may have on this wonderful online community that sucks up so much of our free time! lol

He responds very quickly to tweets.

Last I heard we have lousy attendance...any positive PR is good. Certainly it would be more effective than flying a plane showing an ad about the upcoming game.

I disagree, the plane with the ad over campus to remind/notify students about the game is great. I would estimate that the plane might be responsible for 500 butts in seats. I feel the shirt exchange's impact would be less than 10 butts in seats. Just my opinion, not personal against you, but I just hugely disagree with your assumption. And both the plane and the shirt exchange create a publicity stunt like buzz. But once again, I think the plane is at least 10 times larger as a publicity stunt.

↑↑↑ Publicity is exactly what we're talking about.

I couldn’t agree more. Does it matter if you are or aren’t actually converting fans? As long as the photo opportunity and press make a story like you are and the perception is passed on to fans that it’s becoming cool to move from your Big3 heart break towards USF success all while staying local for cheaper it can’t be a bad thing. Maybe it converts some people this time, maybe it doesn’t but it does create some positive press on a narrative we should be trying to create.

100% - What ever it takes to get people talking. I'm still shocked at the people that have no clue that USF is playing.

They have no clue, because they choose to have no clue.

So let’s choose to make them have no choice but to choose to have a clue.

I’d offer another flavor on this....offer the shirt exchange and anyone that shows up with a gators or noles shirt you attack them with a club.  Best of both worlds.  Fan behavior modification and publicity.

Same old tired comment that you've made before.

Here's one for you - If you're not part of the solution you are part of the problem.
