"Wrangler® Face Off" Contest Sets Consumers Against Each Other for
Chance to Win Cash and Prizes
GREENSBORO, N.C. (Sept. 22, 2009) – Think you have what it takes to be
named a Wrangler® guy? The iconic denim brand, long trusted for
comfortable, durable and affordable apparel, is kicking off a
promotion challenging fans to see who best lives up to Wrangler®
standards in the likes of brand endorsees NASCAR-driver Dale Earnhardt
Jr. and NFL-great Brett Favre. Entries are already being accepted at www.wranglerfaceoff.com
, and voting for the online showdown officially starts Friday, Sept. 25.
The 12-week "Wrangler® Face Off" contest will award a grand prize of
$2,500 cash and a new Wrangler® wardrobe to the man the public thinks
is an ultimate Wrangler® guy. Eligible fans – men 18 years and older
– can enter by uploading a personal photo and answering a short set of
questions designed to give contestants the opportunity to prove why
they should be named a Wrangler® man.
The profiles will be showcased on the "Wrangler® Face Off" promotion
site, where everyone is invited to vote for their top contenders.
Each week the man whose profile received the most votes will be named
as a Wrangler® guy and will receive a pair of Wrangler® jeans with
$100 cash in the back pocket. He will also be featured on the contest
site for the following week alongside the current Wrangler men, all-
star Wrangler® endorsees Earnhardt Jr. and Favre.
"Wrangler has two great partners and ambassadors in Dale Jr. and Brett
because they both truly represent the brand's core values of integrity
and authenticity," said Craig Errington, vice president of Wrangler®
marketing. "Now we want to recognize and award fans who are known for
those same principles and who have what it takes to be named the
quintessential Wrangler man."
Voting begins Friday, Sept. 25, and is open to everyone 18 years and
older. The profile with the most votes by midnight Thursday, Oct. 1
will be named the following day as the first weekly winner.
Subsequent weekly winners will be named each Friday through Dec. 18.
At the end of three months, the 12 weekly winners will be set against
each other once again and the Wrangler® guy whose profile received the
most overall votes will be $2,500 richer and take home a new wardrobe
of comfortable and durable jeans, casual pants, shorts and shirts from
the Wrangler®brand.
Offering male consumers the best value possible with top quality
clothing priced right at less than $20, Wrangler® apparel is
conveniently available nationwide at value-minded retailers like
