The Philadelphia Phillies’ Triple-A affiliate has redesigned all of their logos recently and the “Saturday Home” style is the first of its kind. Considered the hot foodie trend of all things bacon related, it seems like a genius marketing strategy.
One would could even say their fashion sense really ‘sizzles’.
To quote their webpage:
“The bacon-themed Saturday ensemble includes a bacon strip logo on the cap, a fresh ‘’Pigs” jersey design emblazoned across the chest as well as the first-of-its-kind bacon-style piping down both legs of the pants. Similar to years past, the Saturday top is Brick Red but now includes the endearing term, ‘’Pigs” across the chest with a wavy bacon underline. The bold new bacon strip logo sits atop a two-tone cap featuring the familiar colors of IronPigs Steel and Furnace Blue.”
While I don’t expect the nation to run out and buy pants with bacon piping down the sides (though they sell sweat pant versions), how do we not expect the bacon logo hats to sell like hotcakes hotlinks?
Just imagine, the hometown hero ‘hamming’ it up as he trots the bases after a homerun?
If you want to buy the whole ensemble, you can go ‘hog wild’ at their website.
