"Having the opportunity to carry the Dodgers name here in Oklahoma City was always great. One of the most iconic brands in sports," said Comets president Michael Byrnes.
"There was motivation to use Mantle as an inspiration. But there was also this theme of, Oklahoma City, it's modernizing. There's a lot of optimism here," said Byrnes.
The Comets name honors both Oklahoma City's progress and legacy, nodding to the city's growth and the iconic nickname of Oklahoma native Mickey Mantle, "The Commerce Comet."
With light blue and red colors inspired by the Dodgers, the design keeps a visual link to the parent club, including a baseball streak under the Comets wordmark as a tribute.
