New Reebok Conor McGregor ad that looks like it's aimed at kids

    Years after we all hit peak Conor now comes a Reekbok ad thrusting him into our faces in cute cuddly toy form.

    What are Reekbok thinking?

    Surely brand suicide doesn't get more real than a convicted violent thug also suspected of another more serious crime throwing down with kids toys on a daytime tv ad.
    None of the products are aimed at kids yet, but the ad definitely feels like it is and it is playing from 9am.

    Would it put you off the brand?

    Brand suicide? Generally the type of individual who wears Reekboks is exactly the type of individual who models themselves on Conor McGregor, it’s brilliant marketing really.

    Brand suicide has been Gillette’s latest efforts.

    I wasn’t inclined to buy either so I can’t say either campaign would have swung me one way or the other.

    Does Reebok still have the union jack as part of its logo?

    He has Irish solicitors so suggest you search Google rather than post it here. But it doesn't take much imagination knowing the guy.

    Fair play to him. No time for his antics but he's a brilliant business man.

    I have no issue with union jacks or anything British

    I thought a man who portrays himself as a fighting Irish cartoon might

    didn't realise they removed the flag from their logo
