Figured this wasn’t worth starting a new thread over but is there a short story to why the 89ers changed their name to the RedHawks? I was very young when that happened so I remember going to games in their final season at All Sports Stadium but nothing beyond that.

From what I heard the RedHawks branding started as part of an attempt to bringing in a higher tier hockey team, since there was either overlap or partnership with the group running 89ers, when that failed they decided to apply the merch/branding to the existing local baseball team.

i thought it was all related to the move to Bricktown ballpark. new stadium, new team. as an attempt to try and drive merch sales

It sucks because I always thought the 89ers was their coolest branding as it had a real local tie in. Redhawks just never really did it for me and the Dodgers have nothing to do with OK at all.
