Introducing New "Pescados de Carolina" Design

ZEBULON, N.C. - The Mudcats today introduced a new color scheme and jersey redesign for the club’s popular “Pescados de Carolina” alternate team identity. Coinciding with the announcement, new “Pescados de Carolina” themed merchandise, including official hats and hooded sweatshirts, are all available now at shopmudcats.com.

The new look features a reworked colorway combination of aqua, orange, rose and black for the official “Pescados de Carolina” game jerseys and hats. The new online merchandise available now at shopmudcats.com also includes “Pescados” themed t-shirts and souvenirs.

“It was remarkable how well received the Pescados de Carolina identity was by all last season,” said Merchandise Manager Amy Peterson. “The popularity of the new logo called for us to not only bring it back again, but to expand on its look and merchandise options. We still have more new store items to introduce and we can’t wait to share everything with our fans.”

The Mudcats originally introduced the “Pescados de Carolina” identity prior to the start of the 2019 season. It was introduced in conjunction with Minor League Baseball’s “Copa de la Diversión” initiative celebrating Hispanic heritage and culture. The Mudcats were one of over 70 MiLB teams that participated in “Copa de la Diversión” across the nation last year.

The “Pescados de Carolina” logo features a sugar skull fish and a unique color scheme in celebration of Mexican culture’s Día de los Muertos holiday. The sugar skull fish embodies its Pescados alter ego, that represents a Mudcat (catfish) after it has been removed from the water. The “Pescados” will immerse themselves in the rich Latin culture found throughout the Carolinas, with a festive celebration at Five County Stadium.

The Mudcats played as “Pescados de Carolina” seven times during the 2019 season and finished with a 6-1 record in the new alternate look. The Mudcats also averaged over 3,500 fans per “Pescados de Carolina” themed home game at Five County Stadium last season. Carolina averaged just under 3,000 fans per home game overall in 2019.

As previously announced, the Mudcats will once again compete as “Pescados de Carolina” multiple times throughout the 2020 season schedule. The 2020 season schedule will additionally feature a souvenir “Pescados de Carolina” replica jersey giveaway presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts for fans on a yet-to-be-determined date.
