"We wanted our new name and brand to be something that reflects Oklahoma’s rich baseball history and our affiliation with the Dodgers but is also uniquely ours and embraces the future of our city and state," Michael Byrnes said.
"Mickey Mantle - the Commerce Comet - is an iconic baseball figure for our state, our city, our team and our ballpark." Byrnes emphasized the significance of Mantle's legacy in their rebranding.
Byrnes mentioned how the new OKC Comets name and designs invoke imagery of space, which represents a forward-looking ethos for the team, adding a playful aspect for fans.
"We appreciate our community of fans who provided input into the new name and brand and who have supported this team throughout the years - since 1962," Byrnes stated, highlighting community involvement.
