McDonald's Recreates Jordan/Bird Commercial With Kaepernick/Flacco
McDonald's is recreating its legendary Michael Jordan/Larry Bird commercial from the early 1990s by having Colin Kaepernick and Joe Flacco compete in an improbable shoot-off for its Might Wings chicken.
"It's a fresh take on an idea our customers have loved, but in a sport they haven't seen us do it with," said Marlena Peleo-Lazar, chief creative officer at McDonald's USA.
"What made a good story the first time around was the magic between Jordan and Bird — the chemistry felt real," managing director of consulting firm Landor Associates Allen Adamson says. "This has the foundation to be a big idea, but it all depends on getting the details right."
The spot debuts on Monday night.

"This is the first I've heard of it," John Harbaugh said after the game. "That's something you have to see. It would be nice if NBC would show it, but we didn't have a chance to look at it."
