Brandon Wheat Kings fans could soon be easier to spot in traffic with the help of a new accessory.
The local hockey team is looking into releasing its own speciality licence plate, says Wheat Kings general manager Kelly McCrimmon.
“We have discussed it, we have been asked about it and we do plan to approach MPI to see if that’s possible,” McCrimmon said. “It would be great advertising.”
Even though they’re still unsure of what the licence plate will look like, McCrimmon said it’s something they hope to work on in the near future.
“We have a good presence in western Manitoba and the value for me is brand awareness and an opportunity for fans to have a Wheat Kings licence plate.”
The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Friday that in celebration of their 20th anniversary, they are now the latest sports team in Manitoba to offer their own speciality licence plate. The announcement was made by Justice Minister Andrew Swan, the minister responsible for Manitoba Public Insurance.
“Entering their 20th year, the Winnipeg Goldeyes’ success continues to grow, firmly establishing the organization as a cornerstone in our province’s sporting community,” Swan said in a press release issued on Friday afternoon.
“There’s an air of excitement and optimism surrounding the baseball club as it comes off a championship season. To show support of their team, Goldeyes fans now have the opportunity to purchase this unique licence plate.”
The Winnipeg Jets, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, veterans and firefighters also have their own speciality licence plates and a Franco-Manitoban licence plate was also released in February.
