West Michigan Whitecaps Become Michigan Snowbirds For One Night
The West Michigan Whitecaps will be changing their name for one day only later this season.
When the Whitecaps play on August 1 against the Beloit Sky Carp, they won't be playing as the “West Michigan Whitecaps.” Instead, for that game, they will become the Michigan Snowbirds.
In a press release, the Whitecaps explained their latest identity:
The West Michigan Whitecaps are thrilled to introduce their latest identity, the Michigan Snowbirds! Equal parts celebration and spectacle, the Michigan Snowbirds are a love letter to everything that makes Midwest summers worth coming home to – baseball, BBQs, beaches, and more.
What To Expect At The Michigan Snowbirds Game
The Whitecaps are pulling out all the stops for this night.
They will be sporting these brightly colored jerseys and hats.
Fans can enjoy pre-game festivities as well as fun in-game entertainment.
The Michigan Snowbirds will have some fun food and drinks to enjoy as well.
There will be tropical drinks such as Miami Vices, alcohol-infused for “the birds” and virgin-style for the kiddos.
Ice cream stands will have Gram’s Seaside Sundaes (blue goo flavor burst, graham cracker, caramel).
Other food options include bright pink cotton candy and my personal favorite Key Lime Pie.
And of course if you're going to the game you'll want to look the part.
