Yellow's New Meaning For Armstrong
Investigation Cited
Trek spokesman Bill Mashek declined to comment in an e-mail, citing the federal investigation, and Nissan spokesman David Reuter said that a 2010 commercial featuring Armstrong was no longer in the company’s rotation. RadioShack spokesman Eric Bruner said in an e-mail that “we recognize the serious nature of the allegations.” He said the company was “proud of the good work we’ve accomplished with Livestrong and Team RadioShack.” The allegations against Armstrong are likely to lead to concerns about using him as a pitchman, according to Darin David, an account director at The Marketing Arm in Dallas. “Yellow has always been the color of the Tour de France leader and it’s the color associated with Livestrong,” David said in a telephone interview. “Now, it’s more like yellow is a caution to brands when associated with him.” Linn, the charity founder and cancer patient, called Hamilton’s allegations “very upsetting.” “I don’t care about the biking (scandal), I just know that the world will, and that will make me very sad,” she said. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-0...0-million.html |

Honestly, though, Armstrong hasn't been relevant since 2005. That ought to be the biggest concern. If it wasn't for the passion he continues to excite among his fans (BL, Anton, et. al.) we would have all forgotten him long ago. |

He's been raking money in from speaking and other appearances. The point being made in the article is that there may be a negative shift--yellow as in caution. |
