The logo of the Liga Nacional Puertorriqueña: a big sky-blue circle, bordered in red and white, surrounding a smaller circle of darker blue with white borders, superimposed on which is a red-and-white nautical star that hosts the acronym "LNP" in black block letters.

Mascot: Tibiambino

(tibia “tibia” + bambino “slugger”)

We're not sure why a skeleton would want to play baseball, but here we are: Tibiambino, the mascot of the Esqueletos de Vieques, is a giant pink skeleton, shadowed in red, whose black eye sockets have picked up your pitch, and he is wielding a purple bone that is going to send that pitch 150+ meters over the center field wall.
