Free Press staff report | 11/20/2025, 6 p.m.
The Richmond Flying Squirrels introduced refreshed branding and new uniforms Monday at The Byrd Theatre ahead of the team’s inaugural season at CarMax Park.
“We take a lot of pride representing Richmond,” Flying Squirrels General Manager Anthony Oppermann said. “The Flying Squirrels brand has become part of the city’s identity. It is important to us to maintain that identity as we enter our next chapter at CarMax Park. This dynamic new series of logos and wordmarks modernizes our brand set and introduces more versatility to our on-field look while also remaining true to who we are and who we represent.”
The brand refresh was completed by Brandiose, the San Diego design studio that created the team’s original look. Four new uniform designs were presented by former Flying Squirrels players, major leaguers and community partners.
The home white uniform features the new “Squirrelly Script” font with “Flying Squirrels” across the chest in white, red and black. The left sleeve includes the team’s new primary roundel logo, with black numbers trimmed in red on the front and red numerals outlined in black on the back. Pants include red and black piping, and the uniform is paired with a black cap featuring the new “Blastoff Pose” logo.
The road gray uniform uses a modernized “Flight Font” with “Richmond” across the chest in white with red and black accents. The roundel logo appears on the left sleeve. Black numerals outlined in red sit on the front, with red numerals outlined in black on the back. A red fitted cap features the “Power Pose” logo.
An alternate red jersey displays “Flying Squirrels” across the chest in white and black in the Flight Font. The jersey can be paired with white or gray pants and is topped with a black cap with a red bill and the updated “Soar Pose” logo.
An alternate black jersey features “Richmond” in white lettering accented in red and black, with the “Power Pose” logo rising above the outline of Virginia on the left sleeve. The look is paired with a red cap with a black bill and a white “FS” logo.
