What is this West Jones/Tommie Copper commercial?

It looks like some upstart Under Armor, but curious why West Jones High School is who they picked for the national ad campaign.

I've been curious about this as well...

Assumed it was a small MS startup with a connection to that area -- but it appears their only retail location at this point is in NY. So, I'm really not sure?

It appears to be more of that copper cures all ********, like the magic magnetic bracelets. Maybe West Jones was the only one desperate enough to align themselves with that hocus pocus.

Pretty cool. And no surprise they picked the greatest high school in the world for their commercial.

The commercial is pretty cool & they've partnered with an Olympian as well.

It seems like just a new line of dry wicking microfiber material to me along the same lines of Under Armour, Nike etc.

They don't promise anything dramatic in the commercials.

Have you seen the commercial with the rodeo cowboy? He claims more miracles than Jesus.

Power Balance lost a big lawsuit over those bracelets. These are just compression sleeves (that probably do help some people) with ******** copper sort of in them. Montel Williams being the spokesperson is a big tipoff. Reminds me of the Ankle Genie commercial I saw while accidentally watching Lifetime Network (it was a Morgan Freeman biography and I was in a hotel room!)
