What a great series of commercials.... you could have pushed hard shirts, hats, etc.... so what do you have now?

1. No more Terry Tate website that I can find;
2. One Jersey and one booblehead available at the reebok web store.

Dumbasses.

I do like the new Neighborhood commercials... but damn man....

Yeah, they fucked up hardcore...they really had a goldmine there.

It was weak by the 3rd commercial. Blame the failing on the word 'gimmick'. ie those football songs on ESPN. Oh god, make it stop. Those songs make me want to watch baseball.

This could be a reason from Feb 2004 adage

Reebok International's ``Terry Tate, office linebacker'' campaign, lauded for its sharp humor, in the last year has become a pop-culture phenomenon. But as a sales catalyst, Terry Tate seems to be as flat as the office workers he leaves in his wake. Instead of the office enforcer, it's Reebok's real-life endorsers driving shoe sales. ``[Terry Tate] is a funny campaign,'' said one VP of franchises for an athletic-shoe store chain. ``But Jay-Z and 50 Cent sold the sneakers.''

Yeah, but you can't really accurately quantify sales by way of advertising.

Jay and 50 sold shoes because they sell shoes with their brand on them. What the hell did they do with Tate? I don't think they even made a jersey.

Yes, they made a jersey, and I have one! WOO!
