Abstract
This paper examines the component parts, and functions, of the “hype-video” in sports. Special attention is paid to the aesthetic freedoms deployed to 1) give new definition to otherwise anonymous, color-coordinated crowds, and 2) to adjust this mediated image of “Spirit Nation” at will. A comparison of “hype-videos” for Detroit-area teams and New Orleans teams framed by several years of fieldwork reveals contrasting civic recovery narratives, reframing team affiliation as a mutable form of cultural identity.
