The Akron RubberDucks are changing names again, if only for a few games.

The Akron RubberDucks will rebrand to the Akron Cream Stick Donuts for two nights July 24 and 25 as part of the RubberDucks' Only in Akron series.

The Akron Cream Stick Donuts join the Akron Chip Dippers as the 2026 additions to the Only in Akron series.

“After living in different parts of the country throughout my career, it always shocked me to hear the different names people had for cream stick donuts,” RubberDucks president Jim Pfander said. “But in Akron, they are known only as cream sticks."

A limited number of “Cream Stick Donuts” ticket packages are available and include a ticket to either the July 24 or July 25 games and an Akron Cream Stick Donuts adjustable hat. The package is $45. For tickets, visit akronrubberducks.com or call 855-97-QUACK.

Select Akron Cream Stick Donuts merchandise is available now online at rubberducks.milbstore.com and the team shop.
