The mullet - both the fish and the hairstyle - are synonomous with the Florida Panhandle. While “Pensacola Mullets” was a close runner-up when deciding on a team name in 2011, the Blue Wahoos explored a speculative history when they became the Mullets for “What-If Night” on May 26, 2016.
The Mullets returned for one game in 2021, and became a more permanent presence in 2022 when the Blue Wahoos revived the Brandiose-designed alternate identity for every Thursday home game. “Mullet Thursday” has since become a Blue Wahoos Stadium favorite, with drink specials and mullet menu items at the concession stands.
From fan mullet contests to participation in the Flora-Bama’s Interstate Mullet Toss, the Pensacola Mullets brand can be seen prominently across the Blue Wahoos’ marketing strategy.
In 2026, the Blue Wahoos debuted a new alternate identity with the colors and stylings of Pensacola’s famed Blue Angels. The Pensacola Sky Jockeys take flight on Wednesday home games with the iconic blue and gold livery of the U.S. Navy’s flight demonstration squadron.

Native Americans historically wintered in the temperate climates of the Pensacola area, and were documented by anthropologists as playing the mesoamerican ball game known by many tribes as “Pok-Ta-Pok.”
In 2023, the Blue Wahoos launched an alternate identity to pay tribute to the first sport played in the region. The Pensacola Pok-Ta-Pok are the first club in MiLB’s “Copa de la Diversión” Hispanic event series to honor pre-Columbian indigenous culture.
