Favre Teams With Remington

Although Brett Favre is best known for his 16-year stint as a quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, the future Hall-of-Famer (recently named Sports Illustrated’s “Sportsman of the Year”) is also an avid outdoorsman. His passion for hunting made it natural for him to team up with Remington Arms as part of a multiyear marketing relationship. Favre recently agreed to represent Remington in national advertising campaigns, retail promotions and special events such as industry trade shows and consumer sweepstakes hunts. His focus will be on hunter safety, wildlife conservation and youth programs.

“Learning that Brett was interested in teaming up with us provided one of those special moments in our company’s long history,” said E. Scott Blackwell, president of global sales and marketing.

“When you look for sources of pride in today’s American culture, Brett is one of them, regardless of your favorite team. And the fact that he shares our passion for getting out in Remington Country sitting in a tree stand or waiting for the next wave of ducks to fly in, that says all you need to know about our excitement for having him represent our brand.”

“The older I get, the more I treasure the days spent in solitude in the woods,” said Favre. “I’ve already hunted about twenty days this season, so this recent agreement with Remington is pretty special to me.” (800-243-9700; remington.com)
