OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – The name of one of Oklahoma’s minor-league baseball teams will be changed to include the word “city.”

Oklahoma RedHawks managing partner Scott Pruitt announced Thursday that the team will become the Oklahoma City RedHawks.

The team also will unveil a new color scheme for its uniforms and merchandise and a new logo. The RedHawks, a Triple-A team affiliated with the Texas Rangers, have used the same color scheme and logo since the team was founded 10 years ago.

The changes will be unveiled before the Triple-A championship game on Sept. 16.
