The Long Beach Baseball Club (LBBC) has narrowed down its team name choice to three final options, and residents are welcome to vote on their favorite until Oct. 29. 

The final three names for Long Beach’s premiere Pioneer League team are: 

Long Beach Coast
Long Beach Parrots
Long Beach Regulators

Local residents and national fans cast a total of 4,862 votes in the first round of voting earlier this month. According to a tally from the Long Beach Baseball Club, online voters participated from 34 states, while nearly 1,000 people cast their votes in-person at ballot boxes throughout the city. 

Each of the final three names comes with a description of how the name captures Long Beach’s culture and spirit.

Long Beach Coast – The LBC. Long Beach is a city defined by its edges, with 11 miles of coastline that connect neighborhoods, cultures and generations from the west side to the east. It’s a place where land and water, grit and glam, tradition and innovation all meet. Our beaches are as diverse as the city itself, from quiet baysides to buzzing boardwalks, each stretch offering its own rhythm and identity. The Coast unites them all.

Long Beach Parrots – In the heart of Long Beach, a unique symbol takes flight: the wild parrots. A diverse collective, these birds, from distant lands, have chosen our city as their sanctuary. Known as a “pandemonium,” they are a force of nature: loud, unapologetic and undeniably present. Whether you admire their spirit or are challenged by their audacity, one thing is certain: the wild parrots of Long Beach are here to stay, embodying the city’s own dynamic and resilient character.

Long Beach Regulators – The ‘90s. A golden era when Long Beach became a global music powerhouse, thanks to the pioneering sounds of West Coast rap. Regulators is a tribute to that legacy, echoing the spirit of Warren G’s “Regulate”, an anthem that defined a city and a sound. We honor the rhythm, the flow, and the undeniable swagger that put Long Beach on the map. Regulators, mount up!

“Long Beach showed up in a big way, from neighborhood ballot boxes to votes pouring in from 34 states,” said Ena Patel, President of Long Beach Baseball Club in a public statement. “We promised we would be building this team with the people of Long Beach and this naming contest has shown how much they want to build it with us … We’re excited to see how everyone responds and will continue to use the votes as feedback as we determine the final name internally.”

Following the final-round vote, LBBC will commission brand and logo design for the winning name, with the official team name announcement scheduled for January 2026.
