COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The baseball organization previously known as the Colorado Springs Sky Sox has unveiled their new name and logo. The new Colorado Springs baseball team will be... The Rocky Mountain Vibes.
The Rocky Mountain Vibes name is not one of the five names the organization asked fans to vote for in July: Rocky Mountain Oysters, Colorado Springs Throttle Jockeys, Colorado Springs Punchy Pikas, Colorado Springs Lamb Chops and Colorado Springs Happy Campers.
The fan who's winning name was eventually selected was supposed to win four field-level season tickets for the 2019 season, an authentic, personalized team jersey and an on-field introduction on Opening Night 2019 with the opportunity to throw out a ceremonial first pitch.
After 40 years in Colorado Springs, the Sky Sox are moving to San Antonio in 2019. However, there will still be minor league baseball in Olympic City, USA.
The Elmore Sports Group, owners of the Sky Sox, are moving their rookie-level Helena Brewers from Montana to the Springs and that team will be renamed the Vibes.
The new logo is described as a "fun-loving S’more with a winning attitude" who is "spreading Good Vibes all across the land." The mascot's name will be "Toasty."
