>> Jumbo shrimps giving you a chance to design their new T shirt. It will be used in
giveaways they can are viewed
somebody from the shrimp by
actual Scott Kornberg
and he basically tells you
everything you need to know if
you want to take part.
>> Batter up the Jacksonville
jumbo shrimp are looking to
create a new T shirt design and
guess what
you can be a part of it right
now the organization is
accepting designs for its fan
design T shirt contest meeting.
They want you to
create it and you can be a part
of history so joining us this
morning to talk all about it.
Our friend Scott Kornberg the
media and public relations
manager for the shrimp, we
know that opening day is in
April really not that far from
now gosh,
you guys are gearing up jumbo
shrimp always trying to include
the community. And that’s where
this came into play.
>> This is our 3rd year of
doing our fan design teacher
contest, so this is our winner
from last year Tony papay of
Palm Beach with a crew on it
was the design so we actually
had over 1500 boats we had.
Ton of submissions were
actually can accept some
right now can just e-mail your
design it when and Jack shrimp
that comic could be the the
giveaway to our game to the
first 2000 fans on
Saturday April 18th and it’s an
awesome way to get some of our
fans our artistic fans.
Now people like me about it is
not even going to try to submit
anything.
>> Maybe a couple catch phrases
that’s as far as I would be
able to go. But just tell
me about being able to have
people sending these
submissions how many people
have sent them in
the past we
upwards of 107 years so Mark
Abul last year we had a record
amount of voters so we have
some missions through
January 23th.
>> Now we open up a fan
contest. The 27 through early
February on our facebook page
and you know from there and we
had 1500 votes last year from
crustacean nation so people
really get into this and it’s
cool because you can actually
obviously come home with the
shirt on that for Saturday home
game in the air yeah and as
the winner. What do you get a
size that satisfaction when you
get a ceremonial first pitch
which so you obviously get your
own teacher which is super cool
has
several bomb. You get a bunch
of tickets to the game. So it’s
a really cool celebration of
that
winter and they get a little
publicity as well so it’s worth
it, I know that it has been a
whole lot of fun I was telling
you I grew up here in
Jacksonville big fan of the
Jacksonville Suns.
>> And you still have a lot of
that history
with the baseball team, but
it’s just a little different a
little more modern with
the shrimp.
>> We we don’t want to turn
away our history. It’s amazing.
I mean think about the players
who came through Jacksonville
and there’s people that even
the casual baseball fan knows
like Hank Aaron.
But I think one of the really
cool things to try to do like
you said his modernize it make
it fun for the whole family
maybe the people aren’t super
into baseball. Some of these
things are a way of doing it
we’ve got a really cool comic
book series that we have coming
out this year into this River
so we’re
giving away comic books on
national free comic book day
and may also you know that some
of the other ways you hadn’t to
modernize it at. We still
obviously love our history.
It’s amazing we’re locking
that’s not even the scientists
also that Jacksonville red caps
an acre Lake steam which we’ve
got a special master coming up
in a
little bit, I’m the ban will
have in February’s at school
and really really fast to want
to tell you. We
saw this making headlines
across the country that the
logo, the name.
>> Because of a famous country
singer.
