“Naming professional baseball teams must run in my blood,” Fischer said.

Blue and gray colors dominate the team logo and uniforms. The BlueCats introduced three different uniform combinations on Tuesday – home, road and Sunday uniform designs. The home uniforms are white with blue piping, while the caps are solid black emblazoned by a gray “BC,” with the body of a catfish forming the “C.”

The road uniforms are gray with blue piping and the jerseys feature “Waco” across the chest rather than the mascot name. The lettering is black, and the “W” in Waco is formed by a treble fish hook. That same hook “W” adorns the black hats, which feature a gray brim.

The Sunday uniforms, meanwhile, pick up the bright blue that served as the piping for the other jerseys and use it the dominant jersey color. The BlueCats mascot name adorns the left chest of the jersey, and the hats are blue with a black brim and the “BC” letters flanking a catfish’s tail.

More than 1,800 people submitted names in the contest, with some entries duplicating others. In October, team officials narrowed the choices to five finalists — the Woolies, Mammoths, Peppers, Grackles and BlueCats.
