KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — It may be a “cheesy” dad joke, but it’s perfect for the occasion.
Father’s Day is on June 21st, and the Kalamazoo Growlers baseball team is celebrating by temporarily changing their name.
The team will rebrand and become the “Kalamazoo Mac Daddies” in honor of fathers and mac and cheese lovers.
The theme combines the salute to dads as well as the celebration of Michigan’s Undeniably Dairy Mac and Cheese Festival that is set to take place at Homer Stryker Field later this fall.
Growlers Managing Member, Brian Colopy stated, “We saw this as a perfect marriage between dad and America’s favorite side dish. After realizing the overwhelming amount of love for mac & cheese after hosting the festival last year, we wanted to do something fun for our fans. We are thrilled to partner with Undeniably Dairy for this fun promo that will also support local fathers in our community.”
Although the Growlers are not playing at this time, the team is continuing on with the promotion. They plan to wear the fun mac and cheese themed uniforms and hats later this summer when the season can happen.
The new macaroni and cheese logo is also the first logo of its kind in all of sports.
Jerseys, hats, official t-shirts, and more apparel are available here.
