The Lakewood BlueClaws are Now the “Jersey Shore BlueClaws”

The Lakewood BlueClaws are no more.
From now on, the Phillies’ single-A affiliate near Toms River will henceforth be known as the “Jersey Shore BlueClaws, with new branding that depicts a surfing crab wearing a baseball cap.
On the official team website, the blurb reads as such:
- Surfing Crab – This feisty crab is surfing with sunglasses perched atop his cap. This mark will don the club’s home hat, a red cap with a red brim.
- Crab Emblem – This “faux-back” style crab is navy blue with baseball seams and sits on the road hat, a baby-blue cap with a red brim.
- Boogie-Boarding Crab – This time with his sunglasses on his head, the crab is excitedly running to the ocean carrying his boogie-board. This mark will be on the team’s batting practice hat, which is yellow with a navy blue brim.
- Sunglasses Mark – These sunglasses reflect a roller coaster and Ferris wheel, two popular Jersey Shore boardwalk activities. Those that look close will see a JS (for Jersey Shore) and BC (for BlueClaws) in the clouds. The sunglasses rest atop a yellow brim on a baby blue cap.
I personally think these are pretty cool:
I’m buying one for Christmas.
The Claws also extended their ballpark lease to run through 2031.
