The Richmond Flying Squirrels are gearing up for a big change, unveiling fresh logos and uniforms as they prepare to move into their new home, CarMax Park. The team's rebrand event at the Byrd Theater was a hit, with hundreds of fans in attendance. The new designs feature a playful 'squirrely script' font and a 'taking flight' theme, offering a modern twist on the team's identity. This refresh aims to reflect the team's expanded role as a year-round entertainment venue, hosting not just baseball games but also concerts. The project is on track, with construction set to be completed by February, allowing the team to hit the ground running for the April season opener. Despite going over budget, the investment is expected to pay off, with the new facility generating revenue and creating hundreds of jobs. The team's commitment to accessibility is evident, ensuring that the ballpark remains affordable for long-time fans. The city of Richmond is also set to undergo a transformation with the development of the Diamond District, a 67-acre project surrounding the ballpark. This development is just the beginning, with millions more in investment expected over the next few years. The Flying Squirrels are confident in their fan base's support, and the enthusiasm at the rebrand event is a testament to that. With the new logos, uniforms, and ballpark, the team is poised for a successful and exciting future.
