The Bakersfield Blaze throughout its lifespan (1941-2016) affiliated with numerous teams of the California League and changed its name nine times. But the location of this minor league baseball team was always the same ‒ Bakersfield, California, as well as the place they played games ‒ Sam Lynn Ballpark.
The name “Blaze” was in use from 1995 to 2016 until the team folded.
In 2011 the Bakersfield Blaze introduced a new primary logo. There is no other imagery in it but the stylized wordmark “Blaze” in black with an orange outline. The letter “E” has a long tail on which “Professional Baseball” is written in white.
It is supposed that the black color represents the oil industry in Bakersfield, while orange symbolizes agriculture, particularly oranges.
