at Official All-Star Gala
and Pre-Game Celebration
ATLANTA (July
7, 2008) – JerseyNaps,
a Wisconsin-based company
producing high quality napkins
folded into a patented shape
that replicates a sports
jersey, is providing more
than 100,000 custom All-Star
Game napkins to Major League
Baseball (MLB) Special Events
during All-Star Week in
New York from July 11 to
July 15. MLB All-Star Game
JerseyNaps are a custom
design created for use at
the "Official All-Star
Gala" and "Pre-Game
Celebration” and will
be used at these functions
as part of the decor, as
a collectible keepsake,
and of course, at the food
and beverage stations as
a napkin.
“JerseyNaps are innovative,
green-friendly and made
in the U.S.A., all valuable
as we select our partners
for the All-Star Game,”
says Eileen Buser, Director
of Special Events for Major
League Baseball. “Commemorating
the final season in Yankee
Stadium is of historic importance
to us, and JerseyNaps complements
our efforts with a creative
piece that is both functional
for our All-Star Week festivities
and suitable as a commemorative.”
The All-Star Game JerseyNaps
feature design elements,
including the famed pinstripes,
from the uniform of the
New York Yankees, this year's
host team. The primary logo
on the napkin is the Official
All-Star Game logo, featuring
the bridge from Yankee Stadium
which is in its last year
of existence. The inside
of the napkin incorporates
the official logos of the
events that make up MLB
All-Star Week: DHL All-Star
FanFest, Taco Bell All-Star
Sunday, XM Radio All-Star
Futures Game, Taco Bell
All-Star Legends & Celebrity
Softball Game, Gatorade
All-Star Workout Day, and
State Farm Home Run Derby.
Additionally,
MLB Team JerseyNaps, which
will soon be available for
purchase, will be unveiled
during this momentous week
and will debut in the VIP
gift bags given to 5,000
of MLB’s most important
guests. The first eight
MLB team jerseys that will
be replicated for JerseyNaps
are the New York Yankees,
Boston Red Sox, Cleveland
Indians, Oakland A’s,
Chicago Cubs, St. Louis
Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers
and New York Mets.
“As a company, we
feel very fortunate to have
built a partnership with
Major League Baseball and
look forward to launching
our collaboration during
such a celebrated occasion,”
says Will Katz, JerseyNaps’
Chief Marketing Officer.
“It is the perfect
way for us to show our support
for MLB while also generating
excitement for new product
designs.”
