Deion Sanders, the University of Colorado head coach, has become one of the most talked-about figures in college football since leaving Jackson State for the Buffaloes.
His knack for self-promotion is unmatched, and now he’s bringing a retro trend back into the spotlight. Coach Prime has teamed up with Boost Mobile to launch a limited edition flip phone, reminiscent of his own career resurgence.
The special edition Motorola Razr, adorned in the University of Colorado’s black and gold, features Sanders’ motivational phrase “You Gotta Believe” and his autograph in gold. This collaboration aims to blend old-school cool with modern technology.
In a Boost Mobile press release, Sanders expressed his enthusiasm for the new product and partnership, saying, “I’m all about connectivity and BABY, WE GOT THAT! It’s been A BLESSING to spend the past couple of months getting to know this WONDERFUL team. Learning what they’ve achieved, what they BELIEVE, and most importantly HOW they aspire to continue to push the envelope.”

He continued, “First and foremost, my signature Motorola Razr is NEXT LEVEL and I wanna see each and every darn one of you rocking these! But what I’m most excited about is to be a part of the FAMILY that is building the most modern 5G wireless network all while offering the most competitive wireless plans that can reach EVERYBODY. Like I said, I’m all about connectivity and WE GOT YOU COVERED on every darn aspect!”
The flip phone is priced at an unexpectedly affordable $149.99 for existing Boost Mobile customers and is even offered for free to new customers who sign up for a qualifying plan. This pricing strategy might come as a surprise to those accustomed to the steep prices of modern smartphones.
