Droga5 Touts Jockey as ‘Supporting Greatness’

By Erik Oster 

Droga5 has a new campaign for Jockey, positioning the brand as, ahem, “supporting greatness.”

The 30-second broadcast spot points to greats who have worn the brand, such as Babe Ruth, George S. Patton and Buzz Aldrin. Then the spot takes a sharp left turn with a “what if” proposal involving Aldrin, and things quickly get pretty goofy. But then we suppose an underwear brand shouldn’t take itself too seriously.
