New alternate identity celebrates one of Wisconsin’s favorite tavern traditions
The Fond du Lac Dock Spiders are adding another uniquely Wisconsin tradition to their promotional lineup with the debut of the Wisconsin Pull Tabs alternate identity. The new brand celebrates the pull tab tradition found in taverns and community organizations across the state and will make its debut alongside one of the team’s signature promotions, Lake Winnebago Shantymen Night, during the 2027 season.
Pull tabs have long been a staple of Wisconsin taverns, clubs, and community organizations, providing entertainment while often helping to raise funds for local charities, youth sports, veterans groups, and countless nonprofit organizations across the state. Few traditions are as uniquely Wisconsin as gathering with friends, ordering a beverage, and seeing if the next pull tab is a winner.
Fans looking to try their luck early can visit the Dock Spiders Official Online Team Store at DockSpidersTeamStore.com, where select Wisconsin Pull Tabs merchandise is now available – with more to come!
The Wisconsin Pull Tabs will take the field for select games during the 2027 season, featuring a custom on-field jersey, cap, and themed promotions celebrating this beloved Badger State pastime. Additional details on game dates, promotions, and giveaways will be announced at a later date.
