The color scheme for the Roadrunners has also been modified for the upcoming season. The former "powder blue" and white has been replaced with navy blue, orange, and white. The new logo will also appear on the front of player caps, replacing what fans called "The Tick" logo from 2011.
Home uniforms will remain white, with blue lettering across the chest and player number in orange on the front. Lettering and numbering on the back will also be in navy blue. Road uniforms will be gray, with dark orange lettering across the chest and player number in blue on the front. Lettering and numbering on the back will be in navy blue. A thin orange stripe will also be present on both home and road uniforms.
Management is also pleased to announce the addition of bullpen pitching coach Kenny Powers. Powers will be solely responsible for the development of the Roadrunner relievers beginning in 2012. The former big leaguer appeared in 208 games during his career, saving 49 games as a rookie with Atlanta back in 2002. Powers, also known as The People's Champion, The Shelby Sensation, The Reverse Apache Master, The Man with the Golden Dick, Doctor Cock and Balls, La Flama Blanca, and The Bulletproof Tiger, will be called upon to provide leadership and guidance for a completely revamped Roadrunner bullpen. Powers also spent time with The Charros of the Mexican League, and California hopes that his diverse experience will enable him to sensitively work with pitchers on a cultural, political, and possibly even a spiritual level.
