Thu Oct 31 01:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Oklahoma City Baseball Team Embraces New Identity as the “Comets”
**Oklahoma City, OK** – The Oklahoma City minor league baseball team has announced a new name and brand identity: the Oklahoma City Comets. This change comes after the team’s previous ownership group, which included the Los Angeles Dodgers, transitioned to Diamond Baseball Holdings in 2021.
The new name pays homage to baseball legend Mickey Mantle, who was born in Oklahoma and known as the “Commerce Comet” during his career. The team will also incorporate a space theme inspired by the Los Angeles Dodgers’ “shooting ball” logo, symbolizing the future and the potential of the team and its players.
The name was chosen after extensive community engagement, including focus groups and social media feedback. The team emphasized the importance of creating a local identity that reflects the community and celebrates the spirit of baseball in Oklahoma.
Despite the name change, the team will remain affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers as their Triple-A affiliate, meaning fans can still expect to see top talent on the field. The team’s home stadium, Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, will feature updated branding and signage, including a large Comets mural. New uniforms, mascots, and entertainment will also be introduced for the 2025 season.
The team is excited about this new chapter and invites fans to embrace the Oklahoma City Comets. Merchandise is available now in the team store and online, with season tickets and group outings on sale for the 2025 season. Single-game tickets will go on sale in February.
