Default Sneaky Holden marketing

Today I was working near a large building site & I saw what I reckon is one of the best Holden sneaky marketing ideas at work yet. There were blokes walking around and as one was walking up the street I noticed he had a dark blue jumper with V6 on the front of it. I got a bit closer and then noticed a holden badge on 1 side (chest pocket) & something else on the other side of the jumper.

"Nice jumper I thought..."

But the best bit was then seeing the building industry union slogans on either arm eg the snake emblem "will strike if provoked" & "touch one touch all".

So was thinking Holden must have approached one of the bigger unions, probably CFMEU & did a sponsorship deal to get their V6 & Holden branding on to the jumpers.
Very clever.
Its probably old news but I am around sites a bit & it was the 1st time I had seen this.

Noice...

The crowd behaviour at the Clipsal 500 reinforced the subtle brand differences for me, but the jumper has cemented it.

Can they bring out that catchy rhyme too? "We're workers, united, we'll never be defeated". Who knew united and defeated rhyme?
How about "we're workers, united, meet our demands we'll be delighted"?
