The GSOM Golden State Warriors Season Tickets Have Arrived!

When I got home today, I opened up a package from FedEx and was happy to see a package from the Warriors. Inside was a present for the 8 year old version of me - a lunchbox. Yep, a Warriors lunchbox. How lame. At least it's better than the broken locker we got 2 years ago, but doesn't quite top the backpack from last year. To make it even worse, inside the lunchbox, was a juicebox, crackers, a fruit roll-up, some candy and what the...? No sandwich?
What are we to make of this lunchbox? Is there some deeper underlying meaning? What are the Warriors trying to tell us?! I must know! Hit the jump for some theories.
1) Cohan's Last Shot
This may have been Cohan's last parting and subtle shot at us fans. We booed him, complained about him, and nearly paraded in the streets when he sold the franchise. That has to be a little insulting. Instead of calling each and every one of us fans to insult us (Yo mama is sooooo fat, when she went to the beach Greenpeace tried to drag her back in the water.), he sent us a kid's item. He's trying to tell us that we're all little kids and don't deserve anything better than a lunchbox that our mommy and daddy can pack our lunch in for our ride to school on the big, yellow bus. Yup this is a lunchbox for little kids. Kids who don't know better.
Or my second but not quite as good theory...
2) Lacob and Guber's New Franchise Mentality
This could also be Joe Lacob and Peter Guber symbolically telling us fans that it's a new franchise. One that brings their lunch to work everyday, does the dirty work, and just gets the job done. All we needed was a hard hat and some tools to complete the symbolism, but that might have been too expensive to mail. They're trying to tell us they're bringing a new mentality to this franchise.
Or my last, most realistic theory...
3) Warriors Drunk Marketing
Some people drunk-text. Others drunk-dial. The Warriors marketing team drunk-brainstormed. While plastered, someone thought it would be hilarious to send a lunchbox as a season ticket holder gift, convinced their manager, and got the sign off on the promotion. Off goes the order for thousands of lunchboxes with the Warriors logo and here we are. Lunchbox. Warriors logo. Warriors marketing team, a great time out. Bring your lunchbox to the game, get a special prize.
The Contents
After pondering these inane thoughts, I dug a little further in the FedEx package and right underneath the lunchbox, were the season tickets and the rest of the package contents. Phew. Here's what I found:
- 2 booklets of season tickets
- 1 Warriors jersey pin
- 2 plastic ticket holders
- 2 Oracle neck chains to hold the season ticket holders
- 2 Warriors schedules
- 1 Warriors spiral-bound info booklet
The contents of the package are pretty much the same exact stuff that RayAlmeda got in his (thanks for the fanshot!), except we didn't get the Jawbone Bluetooth headset. I think we got gypped. I'll have to call our Warriors account rep tomorrow and throw a hissy fit. This is unacceptable. Ours better come with the new logo on it.
We'll survive without the headset. Other than that, I'm getting even more excited about the season! Season tickets are in hand, I'm ready to go to the Oracle to watch the Big 3 - Curry, Lee, Monta. I guess we'll have to work on our "Big 3" - it's not quite Wade-LeBron-Bosh.
Go Dubs!
One last thing...

Maybe…because we’re taking our opponents back to school?

FJ - You wanted a youth movement...
Your wishes have been granted with a youthful lunchbox!
Be careful what you wish for!
Next we have tricycle halftime entertainment followed up with Gerber’s treats and tickets to Pixeyland and the zoo.

LOL
I didn’t want a youth movement, I wanted a playoff movement.

Is that a REAL gift for the season ticket holders?
In the first year of the new THUNDER-style logo, I got a bad ass stainless steel lock box, and I still have it, flawless. It holds all my random crap better than all my nike shoe boxes.
Shouldn’t that lunchbox have the new un-official GSW logo?

Well...
Last year we got these nice pint-sized glasses with the Warriors “W” logo and a half-basketball molded at the bottom of the glass. There were two of them. Then the year before, we got those lockers with the Warriors logo to put our tickets in. But yeah 3 years ago… we got the Warriors backpack — really nice one too.
Looks like economy really has hit hard.
But yeah junkie… didn’t get a Jawbone Bluetooth headset with mine obviously. Just left that in for kicks. :-P

Ah yes, the locker, brings back memories. I liked the classy wooden box the best.

You call that a lunchbox? This is a lunchbox!
Childish with a hint of sophistication.

"I want to see how we play with D.Wright before we think about the melo trade ." ~ J-Ridah Part II
"I said that because even tho Melo is a good player we shouldnt give up key pieces to get him. In order to get him we’d have to give up Ellis,Udoh and probably wright just to rent him for a year. No player in the league is worth that much for 1 year. Not even Lebron." ~ J-Riday Part II: The Explanation
AHHHH SNAP!!!
A lunch box!!! I guess we’ll be schoolin’ foos on the court! Or maybe it’s because Steph Curry looks like a middle school kid. That it is a pretty nifty lunch pale though.

"I tell him straight, 'If you're going to lead, you have to be the first to practice. You have to come in, get your work down and be prepared for practice,' " assistant coach Keith Smart said. "He needs to figure out why he is having stomach problems and he's got to watch how LeBron (James), Kobe (Bryant) and D-Wade (Dwyane Wade) work. He needs to mimic that if he wants his teammates to speak volumes about him." -Keith Smart on Motna Ellis
You are one lucky dude
while the rest of us finding links and sites to watch our game. some pay for online league pass for a whooping $179 early bird special, which I receive on my email notification. You are actually on the roracle with your lunch box to put all you snacks, because food these days are way expensive specially inside the stadium.
Win Or Lose Warriors For Life.........
I bet they don't allow those lunch boxes inside the arena though.
Can’t see how they’d allow that. They want everyone to buy their overpriced food and drink.

In 2100 you’ll find this lunchbox on Ebay.

Re: Inside was a present for the 8 year old version of me - a lunchbox. Yep, a Warriors lunchbox. How lame.
Lame? C’mon man…it ain’t that bad! Like you said it ain’t worse than the locker, although it’s kinda neat to keep small things in. It’s a nice decoration at work on your desk to keep your pens and stuff in.
The lunchbox alone is cool because of the color and the new logo! It hella stands out! I just wished it came w/ a thermos w/ the players on it or something like back in the days (had me a 6 Million Dollar one and Popeye)!
I got a lot of use out of the backpack, but it’s kinda flimsy just like the messenger bag we got last year. So far the best one was back in 2006 (I think) when they gave portfolios out. You can still see some of the Warriors reps carrying it around. I used it for meetings at work.
Bottomline…it’s a new day and we shouldn’t be looking a gift horse in the mouth! My rep told me we should be expecting more giveaways at games too. They lost a lot of sponsors or the sponsors got cheap on us so they really didn’t have anything to give out during the year, but he thinks w/ new the owner that we’ll have more sponsors.
Can’t wait for the season to start already! GO WARRIORS!!!
Geeez Louf*ckingweeez!!!
Haha
I love the lunchbox! My son would totally rock one of those… of course my son can’t afford season tickets. So yeah, I guess they missed their target audience with this one.
