A new Spurs season means a new Spurs H-E-B commercial to tip off the action. And this one packs just the right crunch.
Titled "Hardball," the 30-second ad features several Spurs players willing to trade their jerseys and sneakers for H-E-B brand snacks, courtesy one savvy kid who knows how to haggle with a bag of Bread and Butter Pickle flavored potato chips.
The new spot stars Spurs guards Stephon Castle, De'Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell, plus Spurs forward Keldon Johnson and the Spurs Coyote, all lighter in the hoops-gear department. Observe.
The new spot dropped Tuesday night, with more to come throughout the season. Fans can catch the ads on H-E-B's social media platforms.
OPINION: Spurs fans are ready for another winning season, championship run
H-E-B and the Spurs have teamed up on commercials since 2004, highlighting current and former Spurs players as they flex their comedic chops for the grocery giant's must-have staples. And judging by this Instagram post, H-E-B and Spurs great Victor Wembanyama and Co. are fired up to see those H-E-B flour tortillas and Creamy Creations ice creams swish into shoppers' carts.
H-E-B will carry on the Spurs synergy with exclusive merchandise at select stores across San Antonio, Austin and South Texas starting in November. Customers are also encouraged to wear Spurs gear while they shop for a chance at surprise Spurs tickets and merch giveaways throughout the season. No bargaining bag of chips necessary.
