The Pioneer League unveiled new branding as part of the makeover after switching from affiliated MiLB ball to an independent MLB Partner League, paying homage to the Mountain West and a 1939 debut.
“This year the Pioneer League graduated to MLB Partner League status and so it was clear that the league’s brand identity needed a thorough refresh,” said Pioneer League President, Michael Shapiro. “The creative work by [North Carolina-based] Project 13 was incredible. It perfectly reflects the league’s new vision.”
