The Nashville Sounds (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League) are undergoing an offseason rebranding after signing a new affiliation deal with the Texas Rangers.
The rebranding — or the “Remastered” version of the team branding, as the Sounds borrow a term from the hometown recording industry — will be unveiled Thursday, November 15 at First Tennessee Park, in an event that will include a visit from the Texas Rangers Winter Caravan.
Hall of Fame catcher Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez and current Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa and outfielder Willie Calhoun will help the Sounds present the team’s new logos, marks and uniforms, which represent the team’s new visual identity. Joining Rodriguez, Kiner-Falefa and Calhoun will be Texas Rangers Co-Chairman and Managing Partner Ray C. Davis and Texas Rangers Chief Operating Officer Neil Leibman.
The free event begins at 6 p.m. and will feature a runway fashion show unveiling four new uniform sets (home, road, two alternates) and merchandise. Rodriguez, Kiner-Falefa and Calhoun will participate in a brief Q&A session before signing autographs for fans.
The Winter Caravan stop by the Rangers is the first in Nashville by a Sounds affiliate in more than 20 years.
