The new caps merge existing 66ers logos with elements from Mariners brands. One cap integrates a 66ers IE logo with the compass that Seattle has used since 1993. Another sets an IE logo against a star shape that evokes the Mariners’ logo from 1981 to 1986.

The Single-A Inland Empire 66ers introduced new cap logos that commemorate their once and future parent club, the Seattle Mariners. The 66ers were a Mariners affiliate from their inception in 2003 through the 2006 season. Since then, they’ve been affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2007–2010) and Los Angeles Angels (2011–2025).

The 66ers are one of three California League teams that shuffled parent clubs and locations this offseason, and the third of the three to unveil new branding related to those changes. The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes recently unveiled red Angels-themed logos and uniforms in honor of their new parent club, and the Ontario Tower Buzzers, a Dodgers affiliate in a new location, launched an entirely new brand.

Inland Empire will debut their new Mariners affiliation on the field when the California League begins play in April.
