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.
