 The AAA Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League, today unveiled new logos and uniforms that work to keep with their tradition (the Beavers are in their 103rd year in the PCL), while looking to rebrand and create new identity that will distinguish them from the Oregon State Beavers, who have now won back-to-back College World Series championships.

The “P” on the caps are very close to the “P” currently seen on the Padres uniforms. The accent color called Pacific Blue continues a recent trend in color palettes for MLB teams such as the Royals and Blue Jays that are tapping into the Navy Blue retro feel. The new identity system for the Beavers was developed by Portland-based Sandstrom Design, with uniforms developed through a partnership with adidas.
