The Erie SeaWolves are set for an alternate identity for two weekends this summer to help celebrate 25 years as an affiliate of the Detroit Tigers.
The team will transform into the Flagship City Kitties on June 11-12 and August 7-8.
“Flagship City” honors Erie’s nickname and historic role as home to the U.S. Brig Niagara, a replica of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s flagship in the Battle of Lake Erie. “Kitties” playfully references young Tigers while emphasizing Erie’s role in refining their talents.
The New Era 59FIFTY on-field navy cap features a fierce tiger head with orange, navy, and white accents, angular striping, and piercing yellow eyes. The jersey includes a navy torso with tiger print gusset, logo patches on each arm, a full chest Flagship City wordmark, and Detroit Tigers-style rear numbering. Apparel is available now at the UPMC Park Team Store. Caps are available for pre-order with delivery expected around April 1.
Tickets for all four games are on sale at @SeaWolves.com.
