White Sox Announce Pope Hat Giveaway for Aug. 11 Reds Game

The team leans into Pope Leo XIV’s Chicago ties with a limited-edition miter-style cap tied to special tickets.

Overview

  • The club will offer a black-and-green hat shaped like a papal miter to fans who buy special tickets for the game against the Reds.
  • The hats will be sent to buyers seated in five designated sections at Guaranteed Rate Field.
  • The promotion is part of a larger slate of themed nights and ticket bundles, including Bravo Night in May, Emo Night, Pride at the Park in June, and other brand tie-ins.
  • The White Sox have already honored Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV with a concourse mural near his 2005 World Series seat and a Mass at the ballpark.
  • Reports describe his appearance at the August game as unlikely, framing the giveaway as a nod to a famous local supporter.
