Pizza Hut Rebranded During Football Season

“You can just call us HUT for the next 25 weeks,” the brand wrote on a social media post that features a photo of one of their locations. The snap shows a banner with a football on it covering the word “pizza” on a sign outside the store.

The photo was taken at a Plano, Texas location, where the chain is headquartered, according to local outlet WFAA. The chain also updated its social media avatars with a logo sans the word “pizza.”

The changes come as Pizza Hut’s parent company, Yum! Brands, prepares to sell the chain to private equity firm Long Range Capital for a reported $2.7 billion.

Mets Drop Series to Astros Despite Strong Start from Zac Thornton

— It was a battle of rookie pitchers between New York’s lefty Zac Thornton and Houston’s righty Ethan Pecko.

— Astros star shortstop Jeremy Peña led off the game with a 435-foot home run. The Mets offense responded in kind during the bottom half of the first inning, when Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto socked back-to-back solo shots.

— Thornton was sharp in his 11th career start, striking out five, walking one, and allowing two earned runs on six hits across five full innings. Now through 61 innings, he sports a 2.93 ERA.

— Facing right-handed reliever Jonathan Pintaro with a man on second base in the sixth, Astros lefty Lamonte Wade Jr. stepped to the plate as a pinch hitter and cranked a two-run homer.
