The White Sox added a signature Pope hat to their list of popular home giveaways this year. Initially launched as a limited-edition item available only to specialty theme night ticket purchasers on August 11 against the Reds at 6:40 p.m. CT, the viral sensation Pope hat created to honor Pope Leo XIV will now be given to all attending fans.
Specialty night ticket purchasers will receive a separate, exclusive item in addition to the Pope hat.
Brooks Boyer, Chicago’s chief revenue and marketing officer,
commented on the promotion’s popularity.
“The fans have spoken, and unlike some of our more limited quantity promotions, the White Sox Pope Hat is one we believe all fans should have the opportunity to take home,” Boyer says. “We viewed the promotion as a creative way to celebrate one of the franchise’s most popular fans, and by the overwhelming response we received, White Sox fans certainly agreed.”
Like the slated giveaways, this Pope hat is guaranteed to draw fans in. Even if the product on the field doesn’t have a winning record, Sox fans know that the promotions are always a home run. Come for the giveaways, stay for the food (and maybe the team).
