The Single-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies will be known as the Jersey Shore Blue Claws moving forward, the team announced during a VIP event at Convention Hall in Asbury Park on Wednesday.
The move comes with changes to the team’s on-field apparel, including four new hats all to be used moving forward. Additionally, the team announced that it is exercising a 10-year extension on its lease of FirstEnergy Park, which will run through the 2031 season.
Formerly known as the Lakewood Blue Claws, the team has been in Lakewood since 2001 and has been affiliated with the Phillies for 20 seasons.
