Yeah. Here's the backstory. About a year ago at this time, Yankees asked all their minor league affiliates (excluding Charleston and Trenton) to change their team names from Yankees to whatever. SWB so far as the only team to comply so far and they had the fans vote for the new team name.

The choices were: Blast, Black Diamond Bears, Fireflies, RailRiders, Porcupines, or Trolley Frogs

All these names got ties to SWB or Pennsylvania in one way or another. Porcupines came in 2nd place in the voting. Which is why it's in the new logo.
