Tampa Strip Club Sponsors Florida Hockey Team, Jerseys Go Viral
Beer league sports are definitely one of adult life’s greatest things. As someone who frequently plays on a kickball team, it’s the perfect low-cost weekday activity that keeps you active and lets you live out your dreams of playing on a “serious” sports team.
While a beer league is always a fun way to spend your free time, the registration fees can sometimes be hefty. These registration fees might lead some participants to not play in the leagues, thus missing out on a season of fun and tispy games. However, one Florida hockey league found a solution to cover these fees while supporting its community.
A Tampa league went into the community to find a business to sponsor their team. Some teams might get a team member’s business, a local insurance agency, or a family-owned restaurant to sponsor their team. Bar of course are a popular option as well. However, this group of men found a different kind of business to sponsor their team: a local gentleman’s club.
A Tampa beer league hockey team just pulled off one of the funniest and most unexpected sponsorship deals of the year—partnering with a local strip club and swapping out traditional last names for stage names like “Juicy,” “Sugar,” “Porsche,” and “Bling.” The team hit the ice in full gear, proudly wearing custom jerseys that had fans—and the internet—crying laughing. The moment went viral after TikTok user @waynegretzkeylimepie zoomed in on the names during a game, with the caption: “Officially my favorite team that AJ has played on.”
Most amateur teams rely on local business sponsorships to help cover the cost of gear and ice time. But this Tampa squad? They took it up a notch and turned their uniforms into full-blown entertainment. Fans in the comments couldn’t get enough, with many asking where to buy a jersey—and we wouldn’t be surprised if these stripper-name uniforms start popping up on eBay for serious cash.
But the real winners in this are the dancers themselves. In this economy, strippers know that standing out means being creative and bold. What better way to market your name than getting it worn by a sweaty hockey player in front of a live crowd and a viral audience? This crossover between sports and stage names might just be the best branding move of the year—and Tampa made it happen. (Source: Nerd Stash)
