The story behind our green Detroit roots

Green. Why in the world is everything at S3 green?

detroit-tigers-s3It’s one of those things that inevitably comes up with new hires and talked about with customers. Why, in a world where everyone’s trying to attach themselves to the color and flavor of the month, did Strategic Staffing Solutions pick, and stick with, deep green as its corporate color 20 years ago?

To find the answer, you need to look back into the history of the company, its proud Detroit roots and the passion S3’s founder, Cindy Pasky, has for baseball.

If you’ve met Cindy, you know she’s an avid Detroit Tigers fan. Opening Day in Detroit is a spectacle, especially around the S3 office. It’s common on that day to see the office filled with folks working in the jerseys of their favorite Tiger players.

But as you might know, the colors of the Detroit Tigers are orange, blue and white. Not green. So you may think our story is ending. Au Contraire!

Here’s an interesting fact. If you took a look at the seats of the old Tiger Stadium, the one Cindy watched the games from as a child and the one the Tigers still played at when S3 was founded, you’d notice they are … you guessed it … that shade of green!

Now you know why S3 goes green.
