The Iron Pigs Want Your Help Designing a Soccer Kit, Will Probably Make it Smell Like Bacon

Later this summer, the Iron Pigs will be playing dress-up again, this time becoming the Iron Pigs FC for a night at Coca-Cola Park. They’re running a contest to design the FC’s kits — probably because their other design people are just goddamn tired of coming up with new logos and jerseys and smells — and will reward you with tickets, a soccer ball, and a Bacon Cap for creating the winning design.
The whole thing reminds me of this project from a while back to rebrand the MLB teams as soccer teams, but you can probably get a bit wackier than that designer did. And this is just one of the ways the Iron Pigs are getting into the World Cup spirit. The other? Peeing.
