Hispanic Heritage During Mexico City Capitanes Series

The Herd changed its name to El Herd on specialty theme jerseys presented by The Taqueria. The jerseys featured Aztec designs and iconography, intended to reflect and honor the indigenous roots of Hispanic heritage. Proceeds raised from the auction benefited the Chicana/o & Latinx Studies program at the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh, which works to bring students, faculty and the community at large to better understand the complex social and cultural realities, challenges and possibilities facing LATINX COMMUNITIES in the US.

Programming at the game featured performances from the HOLA Folkloric Dance Group, traditional Hispanic games, and Latin music throughout the night.

In addition to the theme jerseys on March 6, the first 1,000 fans received the first half of the Hispanic heritage bobblehead set featuring La Catrina Sugar Skull presented by Discover Oshkosh. The first 1,000 fans at the game on March 7 can receive the second half of the bobblehead featuring a Dia de los Muertos Sugar Skull presented by Discover Oshkosh.

The game was also broadcast on Telemundo Wisconsin, the first Wisconsin Herd game to be broadcast in Spanish and on Telemundo WI.
