Wilmington Blue Rocks Unveil New Logo, Uniforms
 WILMINGTON, DE – The Wilmington Blue Rocks unveiled a
new look on Friday, December 6, 2002 at the Delaware
Sports Hall of Fame at Daniel S. Frawley Stadium in
Wilmington. The new look encompasses a set of new logos
and uniforms effective immediately.
The Wilmington Blue Rocks introduced a new logo for
the first time since their inception in 1993. The former
Blue Rocks primary logo consisted of an interlocking
“BR” lying on top of an outline of the state of
Delaware. The new primary logo is a larger, more
enhanced “BR” with a pick axe swinging through the middle
of the logo.
For the first 10 seasons, the Wilmington Blue Rocks
wore home uniforms consisting of the “Blue Rocks” (with
a tail) scripted across the front. The new home uniform
will have “Blue Rocks” scripted in a new font slanted in
a triple-tackle twill consisting of royal blue letters
with a white outline set on a midnight navy outline. The
uniform will now have a royal blue soutache around the
neck and down the front of the jersey as well as on the
sleeves. The numbers on the front of the jersey will be
in gold with a midnight navy outline, while the numbers
on the back will be in royal blue with a white outline
on top of a midnight navy outline.
The Blue Rocks new road uniform will consist of a
gray body with royal blue sleeves. “WILMINGTON” will be
arched across the chest in a royal blue full-block
shadow. The block lettering lies on top of a white
outline, with a midnight navy shadow. The jerseys
feature a royal blue soutache around the neck and down
the front. The numbers on the front are midnight navy
with a royal blue shadow. On the back, the numbers are
royal blue with a midnight navy outline shadow.
The home alternate jersey will consist of a black
body with “Rocks” scripted in royal blue on top of a
white outline. The numbers will be royal blue on both
the front and the back and both sets of numbers will lie
on top of a white outline. There is a royal blue
soutache around the neck and down the front as well as
around the sleeves.
The new home cap will feature a royal blue crown with
a midnight navy bill, button and eyelets. On the front
will be a script “BR” in white with a gray and midnight
navy outline.
The road cap will have a midnight navy crown with a
royal blue bill and button. On the front will be a
script “BR” in gray with a white and royal blue outline.
The home alternate cap will be a solid midnight navy
cap with the “BR pick-axe” logo on the front.
The batting practice cap will be a solid midnight
navy mesh with the new Rock character on the front.
Special thanks to Lisa Harris of Orbit Integrated for
designing the home and road cap logo as well as the
script font used on the home and home alternate jerseys.
The Wilmington Blue Rocks open the 2003 season on
Friday, April 4, hosting the Myrtle Beach Pelicans at
Frawley Stadium at 7:05 p.m.
