As long-term followers and supporters of the Mudcats, ever since their induction into the Minor League Baseball (MiLB) in 1991, we are deeply connected to the Mudcats and their logo, and we want to preserve it. The Mudcats and their endearing mascot, Muddy, have become a significant part of North Carolina's rich baseball culture over these past 30 years.

They have brought joy and excitement to many generations of spectators. The Mudcats' name and logo serve as symbols of community and continuity, a legacy we would like to preserve for future participants and spectators who will no doubt come to love this team just as we have.

We believe that any change to the Mudcats' name or logo would not only disrupt this legacy but would also impact the identity of our beloved team that we have grown to cherish.

Therefore, we call upon the decision-makers to consider the importance of the Mudcats' name and logo to us, to the culture of baseball in North Carolina, and to the wider MiLB community. We ask you to honor the team's history and its place in our hearts by preserving the Mudcats' name and logo. Please sign this petition to show your support for this cause.
