Schlotzsky's Launches Fantasy Football Ultimate Original Team Name-Off
As football season kicks off, fans everywhere are brimming with excitement for the upcoming games, and Schlotzsky's is joining the fun by offering an opportunity for football enthusiasts to showcase their creativity. The restaurant chain has launched the
Fantasy Football Ultimate Original Team Name-Off, inviting players to share their most ingenious team names while celebrating their famous sandwich—the Original®.
How It Works
Starting from September 8, fans can submit their most inventive names—think catchy phrases like
Sourdough Slammers or
The Meaty Blitz—to participate in this bracket-style competition. With each round of submissions, a panel of fans will vote to crown the most deserving name, ultimately leading to one grand prize winner. This lucky individual will receive an incredible game-day watch party complete with catering from Schlotzsky's, funds for party supplies, custom swag, and more.
Donna Josephson, Schlotzsky's Chief Brand Officer, emphasized the connection between food and football, stating, "Football season is not only about the competition but also the food, and at Schlotzsky's we believe in fueling your game day with hearty and delicious eats." This celebration highlights how deeply the brand's roots lie in Texas, where football is as much a tradition as it is a passion among its fans.
The Contest Details
Participants can enter by visiting
SchlotzskysMostOriginal.com, where they need to submit their fantasy team name between
September 8 and September 12, 2025. The competition will feature eight finalists, who will be revealed on
