You already have an official toilet, so it’s really not that big of a stretch.

To whom it may concern,

To us, this is more than a business deal: it’s a partnership that can redefine us both. Just think about it — you: the Chicago Cubs, a World Series-winning sports franchise. Us: pants that can convert to shorts at a moment’s notice. We know the connection between us may not be immediately clear, but Vital Proteins is the official collagen of the Chicago Cubs, so maybe it doesn’t have to be?

Separate, we are two entities questioned by the world, but together, we are powerful enough to withstand both judgment and acclimate weather. That’s why we, ZIPIT™ Convertible Pants, would like to be the official convertible pants of the Chicago Cubs. Also, Hefty is the official party cup of the Chicago Cubs, and between that and the collagen, it really seems like you’re just letting anyone in.
