Sunday Boston Herald at Super (Bowl) DisADvantage

February 12, 2017

One week after the stunning Super Bowl win by the New England Patriots, the Boston Globe has published its obligatory Special Commemorative Section.

The 26-page celebration of all things Pats is chockablock with advertising such as this ad from Marty Walsh & the People of Boston, which features so many logos you’d think Walsh was Mayor of NASCAR.

All told, there are five full-page ads in the section (everyone from Bob’s Discount Furniture to TAG Heuer) and ten half-page ads (ranging from Tostitos to Rutgers Football). An adstravaganza, in other words.

Crosstown at the Boston Herald, meanwhile, there’s no special section, just the regular Sunday Sports.

The not-so-special section features just four Pats-related ads, starting with this must-have.

There are also ads for a New England Patriots Super Bowl LI Commemorative Fan Ring, the New England Patriots Super Bowl 51 Champions Legacy Decanter Set, and the First-Ever Tom Brady Gold Dollar.

Collect them all! Trade them with your friends!

And feel just a little bad for the thirsty local tabloid.
