Sacramento, California (Ktxl– It is known that the baseball teams in the minor league have already unique identities, but some reveal the title and wearing of the federal that they play for several games every summer. A team in the California Minor League announced these accurate plans last week, only to quickly overcome the temporary identity, describing their “error” approach.
On Thursday, SACRAMENTO River Cats, affiliated with San Francisco Giants, announced an alternative identity that they intend to appear for five games during the 2025 season, starting from April 19. They would call themselves “SACRARENTO GOLD DIGERS.”
The name was supposed to be built near California Gold Rush and near Sacramento of the main gold fields in the state.
The logo consists of a mine worker called Dugg that displays gold and winking teeth. The officials said the color that praises the history of gold with gold factors on a black shirt. The cover in the field consists of a dollar mark with “S” for SACRARARERENTO with Pickaxe, albeit with the basement of baseball.
In the promotional video that the river cats were released with regard to promotion, women were shown with brands of the dollar in their eyes, among other images that can be linked to the passive motivation associated with the term “Gold Digger”. This video has been deleted since then.
Lisa Kaplan, a member of the Sacramento Council, commented on social media about the marketing video, which has been dropped since then. She described her as “sexual biased” and “hate for women”.
On Friday, the Katz River said it would no longer advance with this promotion.
“Our last marketing campaign for an alternative identity has missed the mark,” the team said in a statement. “Our intention was to refer to the history of SACRARENTO and Gold Country creatively, but our approach was a mistake, and we are sorry for the mistake. We will not use this identity anymore.”
The river cats also removed the “Gold Diggers” campaign from its website, The Athletic I mentioned.
This is only the latest promotional campaign in the field of professional baseball in which it was going. Earlier this season, MelB hats have been withdrawn from online stores After printing with accidental vulgarity.
