# No Pants Sports Freeballing Skateboarding & Cycling in Jimmy Hood Ads By mediterranean | Published 2009-07-28 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-hood-ads References: [homotography.blogspot](http://homotography.blogspot.com/2009/07/jimmy-hood-ads-no-pants.html) Lady GaGa’s preference for [no pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onelegged-jean) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shmoofoil). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **No Pants Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing and promoting clothing brands that prioritize comfort and freedom of movement without traditional pants. - **Pop Culture Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating ad campaigns that tap into current pop culture trends to capture attention and connect with consumers. - **Cross-product Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with complementary brands to create cross-product advertising strategies that eliminate unnecessary promotion of competing products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating and marketing clothing lines that prioritize comfort and freedom of movement, catering to the growing demand for unconventional fashion. - **Advertising Agencies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating current pop culture trends into ad campaigns to engage consumers and differentiate from traditional advertising approaches. - **Marketing and Branding:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring collaborations and cross-product advertising strategies to maximize brand exposure and target diverse consumer segments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Garment Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweaty-betty-all-good-in-the-hood.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Choreographed Retailer-Backed Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-and-parker-posey.md) - [Athletic Apparel Interactive Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoplift-campaign.md) - [Playful Character-Adorned Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shmoofoil.md) - [Sporty Fashion Spring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1000-back.md) - [Sculpted Denim Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatomic-denim.md) - [Creative Ad Responses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiehls-response.md) - [Athlete Celebrity Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zne-collection.md)
