The Mobile BayBears are a minor league baseball team affiliated with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The history of the team started in 1976 in Charlotte, North Carolina, where it played under the name the Charlotte Orioles. The name Mobile BayBears was adopted in 1997 after the franchise relocated to Mobile, Alabama. An important part of the team’s history is the relocation to Madison, Alabama, in 2020.
Although the 2010 version preserved the main character, the bear, it was a totally different animal now. The angry, yet cartoonish, bear was replaced by a wild, ferocious creature. The choice of colors – dark and light blue – helped to create a midnight mood.
The Mobile BayBears logo adopted in 2010 featured the combination of light blue and dark blue with ecru and white.
