While Detroit may not boast a Super Bowl victory, Michigan can now proudly display a new accolade associated with the NFL.

The National Football League has officially named Little Caesars Pizza as its pizza sponsor, as announced on Tuesday.

I’m equally surprised as you are.

The Ilitch family-owned pizza company, known for its resilience, decided to allocate its savings from the 2022 MLB free agency period for a significant NFL sponsorship opportunity.

Could this move potentially have a long-term positive impact on the Detroit Tigers, owned by the Ilitch family, as Michigan pro sports fans, who have experienced numerous disappointments over the past decade, eagerly embrace any state-related victory they can get?

Not just cheap Michigan pizza

When I first heard that Little Caesars was taking over as the official pizza sponsor of the NFL, my initial response was likely similar to many of yours – Really?

Initially, I underestimated the reach and influence of the pizza chain originating from Michigan.

I acknowledge the value of Little Caesars and its ability to satisfy cravings occasionally. However, I am curious to encounter someone who claims it as their ultimate pizza choice.

It perpetually seemed as though I was never the preferred option, instead serving as a budget-friendly substitute for pizza night.

However, I decided to do some research.

Little Caesars holds the third position in terms of gross annual sales in the United States, amounting to $4 billion. It trails only Domino’s and Pizza Hut.

Little Caesars has always had a local vibe to me, similar to Meijer or Vernors. Surprisingly, this chain is actually present in all 50 states and 18 international markets.

Little Caesars has always been transparent about its use of cost-effective ingredients to offer budget-friendly prices to its customers. Given the current pandemic-induced inflation challenges, the demand for affordable food has significantly increased.

Could the NFL partnership impact the Tigers?

The Ilitch family is confident that this deal will have a positive impact on their bottom line, which is why they are pursuing it.

Partnering with the NFL, the pizza chain is set to gain immense exposure considering the league’s reigning popularity in the country.

Although the operations of Little Caesars are not directly linked to the Ilitch-owned Tigers or the Detroit Red Wings, they could contribute to generating more money for the Ilitches.

Given the presence of a salary cap in the NHL, it is unlikely that the Red Wings will be significantly affected by this.

On the contrary, the MLB does not contribute to this. Ultimately, if the family has more money, it could potentially lead to increased spending on the Tigers.

Chris Ilitch has not demonstrated the same level of commitment as his father, Mike Ilitch, in his efforts to bring a World Series to Detroit.

During the recent offseason, the Tigers made the decision not to pay an excessive amount for Carlos Correa, an esteemed free agent shortstop. Instead, Ilitch chose Javier Baez for a duration of six years at nearly half the cost.

Looking at it from a different perspective, Correa’s price seems more reasonable as he boasts a .307 batting average for the Minnesota Twins this year, while Baez struggles with a .188 average for the Tigers.

In order for this franchise to make a turnaround, it is imperative to invest money, given that the Tigers have scored the fewest runs in MLB this season, trailing any other team by a significant margin of 38 runs.

It is hoped that this collaboration between the NFL and Little Caesars could potentially provide assistance in some way.

However, we should be realistic based on historical evidence. It’s unlikely that a pizza chain’s advertising with the NFL will magically lead us to win a baseball championship.

What new products might Little Caesars provide?

Little Caesars has secured an exclusive partnership with the NFL, granting them sole marketing rights to establish a strong connection between the chain and the football league for multiple years.

The following will be included as part of the deal:

Nowadays, ordering a Little Caesars pizza has become a social media game of its own. By using their app, customers can conveniently visit the store, enter a code into a massive pizza container, and collect their purchase without any need for communication or interaction with another person. This process offers a win-win situation for those who prefer minimal human engagement.

Introducing innovative offerings: I have several groundbreaking concepts that perfectly align with Little Caesars’ distinctive pizza vision.

  • Introducing Sunday Kickoff: A pizza shaped like a football. It’s a simple yet delightful creation.
  • Encroachment: They pile on an excessive amount of pepperoni, to the point where it spills out from the box.
  • Tight End: An overwhelming abundance of cheese generously spread atop a cheese pizza. An absolutely astonishing quantity of cheese.
  • Introducing Kneecap Pizza Balls, the ultimate choice for Dan Campbell and Detroit. Experience the thrill of sinking your teeth into pepperoni and cheese, delivering a flavorful taste that’s sure to satisfy your kneecap cravings.
  • Title: A Risky Indulgence: A Hot-N-Ready Stuffed Crust within Another Hot-N-Ready<br><br>Description: Brace Yourself for a Delicious yet Potentially Harmful Delight
  • For just $15, you can get an incredible deal known as “The Hail Mary” which includes four Hot-N-Ready’s, two crazy breads, a dozen wings, and two 2-liters of Pepsi.

Introducing the new packaging: Get ready for the familiar bright orange Little Caesars pizza box, now featuring the NFL logo. It’s definitely an upgrade from the gigantic, crazy bread bag they used to use for their iconic PIZZA! PIZZA! Deal back in the 80’s.

How about some one-of-a-kind promotions? How about a scorching Hot-N-Ready football introduced in the last two minutes of play? It can be like a challenging game of hot potato for quarterbacks, straight out of the oven. And what if we offer at-home delivery by none other than Drew Brees? I’ve heard he’s currently seeking employment.
