Helicopters hover over Colerain practice
A surprise visit from, of all things, a black helicopter made the day of the players on the Colerain Cardinals football team on November 6.
The black helicopter wasn't just any helicopter though; it was sent by Nike, a sponsor of the team. The chopper featured the well-known brand’s logo on its side and a number of gifts for the players inside.
Tom Bolden, one of the team's coaches, noted that the visit was hard to keep under wraps, but players were pleasantly surprised when the helicopter first appeared and ultimately landed on the team's logo in the middle of the field.
A representative from Nike, Tim Blake, presented the team with a gift to be worn during a playoff game last weekend. Each player received a pair of Nike Pro Combat Hyperwarm tights, complete with the Cardinal's logo on the lower calf.
Speaking to the players, Blake stated that they had earned the tights thanks to their commitment to the game and to playing in cold, wet weather.
The team reciprocated, presenting Blake with a T-shirt featuring the team's slogan - "Those who stay will become champions”. Local print companies are often tasked with creating such items.
Colerain High School is one of just 50 schools in the country to have a corporate sponsorship deal with the sports company.
