Way to go Robert Kraft!

I just noticed that for the rest of the month of November, anybody can ship Patriots gear overseas, and the Patriots will pay for all shipping.

Good for the Patriots! I work for the Department of the Navy, and appreciate this gesture very much. This is a CLASS organization!

This is one of the few times when the word "classy" belongs in football.
Way to go Pats, you make us proud

I hate to dampen the enthusiasm of certain posters (e.g., italian pat patriot), but just for the record, the offer only applies to APO addresses.

Nevertheless, still a classy move.

Huh? I think we all know that. That's how you usually mail stuff to the military overseas. I've mailed stuff a bunch over the last two years, to Afghanistan and Iraq (and to my brother in Germany for that matter), and it's always been via an APO address.

Now, if he'd only let you sell you season tickets and let loud fans near the playing field...

Actually, your original post didn't say "just military or APO". I was all excited to mail my Uncle Lee in the Khmer Rouge a Pats Hoody!

Still, it's a great thing Bob Kraft is doing.

Well, if Uncle Lee can sign up in the Armed Forces, you can save on shipping. I assumed my connection of it with me working for the Dept. of the Navy, along with the link...............you know what happens when you assume.

Never mind classy. This is a brilliant piece of marketing. With the NFL's sights set on opening up the international market to Americal football, Kraft has taken another step to making his team most marketable.

it works for marketing...but i think it was done from the heart with the holiday season in mind

It's only for American troops, it won't do anything for the international market.
