One popular trend with Minor League Baseball teams the last few years has been a “one-off” rebrand in which the team changes its name, logo and uniform for one game with a food-centric theme, typically a “cuisine” that represents their local area. The promotions helped teams to sell tickets, create buzz surrounding the brand, connect with the community and break merchandise sales records. In this fun activity, students will review concepts like industry trends, branding, licensing, merchandising and promotion.
