As the world-champion Warriors entered their final season at Oracle, DC dropped a campaign that acknowledged the 47 years of Dubs teams running the floor in Oakland and the loud and loyal fans that were there all along.
In outdoor, digital and broadcast, the “Game Recognize Game” work celebrated the franchise’s legacy through novel pairings of Warriors — old-school and new — playing in perfect sync across a continuum of time.
“The fans know that before the Splash Brothers, there was Run TMC. And Manute, Sleepy, Baron and Barry,” said Parker Channon, co-founder of DC. “Seeing a Warriors super team built across generations felt like a genuine gift to long-time fans and a natural fit for a team that routinely acknowledges the work and history that precedes their accomplishments today.”
DC’s design director, Jennifer Kellogg, had this to add: “Bringing the Game Recognize Game idea to life visually using nearly 50 years of photography was a fun challenge. We were intentional about treating the photography to make players from different decades feel like they’re in the same world, on the same court. And the Game Recognize Game type reflects off itself to convey this sense of appreciation and interaction between generations of players and fans.”
