No Pants Sports

Freeballing Skateboarding & Cycling in Jimmy Hood Ads

Lady GaGa’s preference for no pants has crossed over from fashion and pop culture into the world of advertising as we can see in these new Jimmy Hood ads from New Zealand.

Either that, or this is a cross-product of budget cuts due to the sad economy state. And it actually makes sense, since Jimmy Hood sells t-shirts, hoodies, and scarves. It does not sell pants, so why promote another brand in their ads?

The ads were photographed by Troy Goodall with retouching by Kevin Hyde for ad agency Colenso BBDO, Auckland.
