Best Team Brands In Philly
I’ve been a loyal Phillies fan through good times and bad, and then more good times and (maybe really) bad again. But no matter how my team is playing, I proudly wear my team’s colors. I’m partial to the burgundy and powder blue that the team sported through the ‘70s and ‘80s, but there are many style options for fans of the Fightin’ Phils, as shown in this graphic history of their logos.
Add in the pink versions of all of the above, and you have quite a diverse selection. What remains consistent through the years, though, is the Phillies brand. As the brand evolved, the “P” and the colors red, white and blue remain.
I recently read an article on Slate.com that explained the significance of a simple logo, like that Phillies’ P. Like Nike and Starbucks, the team logo doesn’t need to tells us anything more because the Phillies brand is so well-recognized.
Forbes recently ranked the “Best Fans In Baseball,” using the following criteria: the percentage of the hometown crowd that watched, attended, and/or listened to a game in the last year, television ratings, stadium attendance, merchandise sales, and social media reach. Philadelphia ranked 8th, and I think this is a reflection of the strength of the Phillies brand. Regardless of their performance, we’re still buying their merchandise, following them on social media, and watching the games.
The Philadelphia area is home to some of the most loyal sports fans in the world, and the Tag office is no different. See where our loyalties lie, and which other teams we think have a great brand.
