The BlueClaws are getting a
makeover ahead of the 2021 baseball season, and will no longer be
called the Lakewood
BlueClaws, but the Jersey Shore BlueClaws.
The announcement was made
Wednesday in Asbury Park, and with the new name comes a new logo and uniforms.
The BlueClaws are the single A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. The
Phillie Phanatic was on hand for the change.
“The idea of the Jersey Shore
at this entity finally having its own hometown baseball team and that's what
resonated strongly with us, that's what got us most excited is to say, finally
the Jersey Shore has its own hometown team,” says Joe Ricciutti, Jersey Shore BlueClaws president and general manager.
The BlueClaws also signed
another 10-year lease and will remain at First Energy Park in Lakewood through
2031.
