Colorado Springs baseball fans will now be cheering on the Rocky Mountain Vibes.
That’s the name of the Brewers’ new rookie-level team which replaced the Sky Sox, Milwaukee’s Triple-A affiliate that departed for San Antonio. The name was announced Monday at Security Service Field.
The inspiration for the nickname came from “the outdoors, the sunshine, that feeling you get when you live here in Colorado,” Vibes general manager Chris Phillips explained during Monday’s name unveiling.

The team, which features a flaming s’more with sunglasses as a mascot, will compete in the short-season Pioneer League.
“Vibes” wasn’t one of the monikers from the organization’s “Name The Team” contest in July, with the five finalists being Happy Campers, Lamb Chops, Punchy Pikas, Throttle Jockeys and the Rocky Mountain Oysters.
