Elevating
a partnership can expand your brands reach and the ‘halo’ of better for you if
that partnership is with the Texas
Rangers in one of your key markets according to Steven Johnson Grocerant Guru®
at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice
Solutions®.
So, Dallas-Fort
Worth-based Golden Chick is taking its existing
partnership with the Texas Rangers a
step further and working with the team by celebrating the release of the
Rangers 2023 Nike City Connect uniform launch. This unique uniform with unite
both brands while elevating Golden Chick according to Johnson.
In
order to leverage brand messaging there will be a two-part launch, Golden Chick team members were first
on-site to supply Rangers fans with fan-favorite Wicked Wings as they made
their way to the Grand Slam Team Store at Globe Life Field to purchase the
highly-anticipated City Connect merchandise. In addition, Golden Chick will act
as the only Rangers sponsor to have the new City Connect primary logo adorned
on crew gear, with employees wearing the new TX mark on T-shirts throughout the
season.
Mark
Parmerlee, chairman of Golden Chick,
stated, “As a locally-grown brand, taking part in the history of our region’s
baseball team means a great deal and only furthers how strong of a relationship
we share with the Texas Rangers,” ... “Golden Chick will not only have a
hands-on role in the reveal of the new jerseys but will proudly showcase the
emblem for months following, to truly give it the attention it deserves. We are
honored to work with the Rangers on this announcement and promote a historic
initiative for the team. Our restaurant crews are going to proudly wear the new
logo.”
In
case you did not know, the Nike MLB City Connect Series launched in 2021 and
was formed to celebrate the connection between a specific club and its city.
The Rangers are the second MLB team to join the City Connect Series in 2023.
The jerseys celebrate the origin story of the Rangers and the Texas spirit that
brought Dallas and Fort Worth together in Arlington through baseball, literally
paving the way for the Rangers.
Jim
Cochrane, Texas Rangers senior vice
president of partnerships and client services, stated, “We’ve had an incredible
partnership with Golden Chick for years and when we discussed how we could
expand on the City Connect announcement, we knew we wanted to include them,” ...
“Both of our organizations have deep roots within DFW and strive to give back
and honor the community as much as possible. We’re excited to keep evolving our
partnership as the years go by and continue to deepen our involvement as we
both grow.”
Working
a partnership and edifying the relationships is important. Golden Chick first
partnered with the Texas Rangers in 2018 as the sponsor for the iconic Dot
Race, a sixth-inning tradition that garners the attention of thousands of fans
each game. Since then, Golden Chick has evolved its participation at Globe Life
Field to include Golden Chick at the Ballpark with special ballpark-only menu
items like the Golden Chick Bases Loaded Fries and fried pickles. In 2022, and
continuing in 2023, the brand became the title sponsor of the Jr. Rangers Kids
Club, offering great team merchandise and discounted tickets for young Texas
Rangers fans 13 and under.
