Partner’s in Backyard Play: King Swings x Philadelphia Phillies™

Written by Justin Doutrich | Jun 27, 2024 4:00:00 AM

King Swings has partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies™ to release Phillies-branded swing sets and playhouses. The Philadelphia Phillies™ and King Swings promote and applaud backyard fun, whether swinging for the back fence or swinging on your playset. The baseball diamond has always been a place for all children to gather and play outside, just like a playground, so the partnership could not have been a more natural pairing.

Partners in Backyard Play

 

Elmer, our CEO at King Swings, has always been a passionate baseball fan. The crack of a baseball bat is a familiar and comforting sound during his Amish summer family gatherings, and this personal connection to the sport fueled his excitement when the opportunity to partner with the Phillies™ arose.

That is why he found himself up late at night at Citizens Bank Park with a crew from King Swings assembling a brand new line of swing sets. The Phillies™ Liberty Bell cast a gentle neon glow on the scene as the crew assembled climbers, attached swing beams, and prepped a fantastic display for the next day’s big reveal.

The following day, Elmer, in front of live TV, was pleased to announce King Swings’ newest lineup, the Phillies™ Playset Series. These swing sets and playhouses, born from a shared love of outdoor play and fun, were proud to wear the uniforms of the Philadephia Phillies™, making them a unique and exclusive addition to our product range.

Later on in the Morning, FOX29’s Shaynah Ferreira joined Elmer and Janet Malin, King Swings’ CMO, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Tom McCarthy, the play-by-play announcer for the Philadelphia Phillies™, arrived to join Elmer during the interview. The two discussed the Sportscaster playhouse when suddenly, the Philly Phanatic joined the interview, and after that, things got a bit chaotic!
