Photo of the Year – December 31
Between Christmas and New Year’s we are showcasing the year’s favorite photos from our contributors.
Rather than submitting a photo, I’m posting a video of the year. In 2013, the Texans Cheerleaders, under the direction of Alto Gary, reached out to their fans in a way no other NFL team has attempted. Their Freestyle Fridays, Cheer Chats, and HTC Social Club videos took YouTube by storm and provided fresh new costumes, props, locations, and special guests every week. It was an invitation to participate in their fun once a week, and get to know the team outside of the typical two dimensional photos, dance videos, and standard cheerleader interviews. They made this team far more accessible to fans who don’t have the opportunity to see them live and in action on game day.
A+, ladies. Well played!
Of course, all of this has me wondering, if this is what we see ON camera, what all goes on the rest of the time? All of this has convinced me that it is absolutely necessary to go to Houston in 2014 and see all of this with my own two eyes. It’s time to make some travel plans. Mwahahahahahahaha…
