Battle Creek, MI – The Battle Creek Bombers have announced that they will rebrand as the Michigan Battle Cats. Last active in 2002, the Michigan Battle Cats were a minor league team, first affiliated with the Boston Red Sox then later by the Houston Astros.

The Battle Cats will remain within the Northwoods League and give the Bombers & their mascot Mo Skeeter a big send off on Saturday July 19th.

Tyler Shore, the General Manager of the new reformed Battle Cats said, ‘I’ve always wanted to bring back the Battle Cats. We only got league approval last week but there’s no time like the present so we’re rebranding effective immediately’.

He also hoped fans will give the Bombers a proper send off on July 19th. ‘We’re going to host a massive party, a celebration of the fantastic 13 years the Bombers have had in this community, I hope everyone can make it down’.

Throughout C.O. Brown Stadium, changes will be made to fit within the rebrand including the renaming of the Sky Loft which will be changed to ‘The Litter Box’.
