Change never smelled so good.
When players on the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate, the Leigh Valley IronPigs, spiced up their wardrobe for the upcoming 2014 season, they decided the best way to capture America's heart was through its stomach.
The team revealed several new uniforms on Monday, one of which feature the most popular part of the IronPigs' name: bacon. The word "pigs" is splayed across the chest of their Saturday home jerseys, with a delicious strip of bacon underlining the lettering (the same will appear on a matching hat). A first-of-its-kind wavy, bacon-style piping will also be featured on both legs of the pants.
The uniform switch-up was announced with the hashtag #smellthechange, as well as the website SmellTheChange.com, which features the other new jerseys that rolled out this year.
If loving bacon is wrong, I don’t want to be right. http://t.co/tyRm2x1t26 #smellthechange pic.twitter.com/HYSClDtZ2g— IronPigs (@IronPigs) February 24, 2014
The jerseys and bacon hat are available for sale, along with an assortment of bacon- and swine-related gear.
