Baseball is America’s favorite pastime, and diners are New Jerseyans favorite pastime – so what do you get when you cross them together? A rebranding of the Somerset Patriots for three games this season!
The Somerset Patriots, the New York Yankees Double-A affiliate, has unveiled the Jersey Diners as an alternate identity for the team. The Patriots will play as the Jersey Diners for three games this season:
Saturday, June 8 at 7:05 pm vs. the Hartford Yard Goats (Colorado Rockies)
Friday, July 26 at 7:05 pm vs. the Portland Sea Dogs (Boston Red Sox)
Sunday, August 11 at 5:05 pm vs. the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (New York Mets)
The Patriots selected the name and designed the logos to honor the history of more than 500 diners located in NJ. During these games at TD Bank Ballpark, there will be special diner-themed music, blue plate specials at the concession stands, diner-themed promotions and more.
The logos were created by Ryan Foose of Fooser Sports Designs to highlight a classic diner feel. The main logo looks like the outside of an old-fashioned diner with “Jersey Diners” written in pink script. The ball players will wear a tri-color hat with a coffee mug mascot on the front.
The Patriots unveiled the Jersey Diners rebrand at a special event with season ticketholders at Park 22 Diner in Green Brook. The exclusive merch is available online at somersetpatriots.com or at the Team Store located at TD Bank Ballpark, 860 E. Main St., Bridgewater. The season opens on April 5 at 6:35 pm vs. the Richmond Flying Squirrels (San Francisco Giants).
