The Lansing Lugnuts, High-A affiliate of the Athletics in the Midwest League, will play two games this season as the Cap City Olive Burgers. The geographic signifier Cap City acknowledges Lansing’s status as the capital of Michigan, while the nickname Olive Burgers pays tribute to a culinary staple of mid-Michigan, a hamburger topped with a mixture of mayonnaise, chopped olives, and olive brine.
Like the sauce on top of them, the origins of olive burgers are murky. While there is no consensus on where they came from, olive burgers have appeared on restaurant menus and in homes for more than a century, with the first documented evidence of their existence dating back to a restaurant chain called Kewpee Hotel Hamburgers in 1923.
With the announcement of the new name, the Lugnuts unveiled logos centered on an anthropomorphic olive burger character, complete with a layer of briny mayo sauce. The burger is swinging a frilled toothpick like a baseball bat, with a green olive standing in for a baseball.
The Olive Burgers will take the field July 19 and August 14.
