\"\"<\/p>\n

The Long Beach Baseball Club of the Pioneer League officially has a name, well, it has two names. They will be formally the Long Beach Coast, but also the Long Beach Regulators as an alternative identity for select games this year at Blair Field.<\/a><\/p>\n

The name Coast represents the city’s diverse geography, blending its 11 miles of coastline, beach culture with urban life, and uniting different neighborhoods under a shared identity, while the Regulators name stems from the Long Beach-native Warren G\u2019s 1994 song \u201cRegulate,\u201d which reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped usher in the G-Funk era of Hip Hop.<\/p>\n

Team president Ena Patel said that the two identities give the brand its aesthetic, which is what it looks and feels like. She added<\/a>\u00a0that the team wants to build something that feels welcoming to everyone in Long Beach, whether they come for the baseball, the family atmosphere, or the culture surrounding it.<\/p>\n

The ball club picked the colors of teal and black, and released an interlocking \u201cLBC\u201d cap monogram on its official website. The team\u2019s wordmark is simple: the scripted name of the team with a tail and the city name above it.<\/p>\n

The two separate names are not new in baseball. The Nanaimo NightOwls of the Western Collegiate League is also known as the Bars, a play on the popular Canadian dessert treat, and tons of other clubs have alternative nights on Friday or other select nights of the season.<\/p>\n

In other words, it\u2019s business as usual in the world of minor league baseball and its cohorts. The Coast will have its home opener at Blair Field<\/a> on June 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Long Beach Baseball Club of the Pioneer League officially has a name, well, it has two names.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-133555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
