(Milwaukee, MI) – MillerCoors has received TTB label approval for several Miller Lite pints donning Major League Baseball team logos for the 2012 baseball season.
Anheuser-Busch remains the official beer sponsor of the MLB despite a lawsuit filed after MLB allegedly reneged on an agreement to renew AB’s sponsorship.
MillerCoors is still able to sponsor individual teams. The Wall Street Journal reported last year that AB was the sponsor for all but a handful of teams. So far, labels have come in for the Brewers, Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Padres, and White Sox. Labels also came in for the Royals and Cubs though no official sponsorship was indicated.
Any word on why the Cubs is green and has the neighborhood name instead of using the team name/colors?
Probably their way of skirting around not being officially licensed to sponsor the Cubs
These look to be intended for the 16 oz. aluminum bottles. The current aluminum bottles have the same 16 oz. aluminum pint emblem in the upper right corner.
