GRAND CHUTE, Wis. — A Wisconsin dinner time staple will soon leap from the freezer section to a baseball diamond near you.
The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers have unveiled the “Wisconsin Frozen Pizzas” as a new identity for the team’s alternate arsenal.
As leaders in the alternate identity universe, the Timber Rattlers have additionally taken the field as the Wisconsin Brats, Los Cascabeles de Wisconsin, Lake Winnebago Shantymen, and Wisconsin Udder Tuggers over the years.
Why frozen pizza? “The genesis of the Frozen Pizzas dates to 2021 when the Timber Rattlers hosted a Frozen Pizza Throwdown at Neuroscience Group Field to showcase over a dozen Wisconsin brands for fans of frozen pizzas. The logo created for the event was popular enough to begin conversations about “Could this be an alternate identity?” The answer was an emphatic and delicious “YES!,” shared the team in a statement.
Wisconsinites love their frozen pizza and consume more frozen pizza than any other state in the Union on a per capita basis. Here are a few additional fun facts…
- Five of America’s largest frozen pizza brands started in Wisconsin and are still headquartered here
- Many popular grocery stores in the state carry up to 50 different brands of frozen pizza from all over the country
- Wisconsin’s large cheese production, manufacturing know-how, and big appetites all contribute to its frozen pizza dominance.
The Frozen Pizzas will take the field for the first time on Saturday, July 12 with the game scheduled to start at 6:40 p.m. A Frozen Pizza Bobblehead presented by Jack’s will be part of this game. The first 1,000 fans entering the ballpark on July 12 will receive the pizza oven bobblehead.
If you can’t wait for summer at the ballpark, Frozen Pizzas merchandise is currently available online.
