OT: Phillies Minor League Affliate Goes Bacon.
So the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs have mastered marketing to an extent I could not even believe. They've started a new uniform design marketing campaign called "Smell the Change."
The new Saturday jersey is amazing. It's bacon themed. We're talking a red shirt with Pigs spelled out and bacon underlining it. We're talking white pants with bacon piping down the legs. We're talking a gray hat with a slice of bacon as the logo. Bacon. Bacon bacon.
And we're not stopping there. They have a gray shirt with the bacon logo on it for $18. For just $4 more, we're talking $22, they'll sell you the same shirt that smells like bacon! For up to 10-15 washes! CAN I GET A DOZEN NOW?
Bacon.

Just fantastic. "Mastered marketing" indeed.
Now that we've established that, who exactly are the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs?

The Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs are the winners of the internet as well as marketing. That is who they are.

"Pigs" is a pretty good term to associate with an organization that tries to harm the amature eligibility of unsigned draft picks.
February 25th, 2014 at 5:46 PM ^
if they served bacon-wrapped-shrimp .... excuse, me."
February 25th, 2014 at 5:12 PM ^
I thought this was going to have something to do with John U.

How do you market to bacon lovers, but only sell a commemorative shirt up to a size XXL?
February 25th, 2014 at 6:01 PM ^
Everytime a bacon thread pops up I have to share this. The Bacon Explosion. It's amazing.
