150 years of the best baseball in the universe—all in one place.

The logo of the Tumbabrazos de Carolina: an orange "C" in an angular stencil font, bordered in white and then black, on a brown circle bordered in orange, then black, then orange.

Mascot: Navatajón

(navaja “razor” + tajón “slash”)

Navatajón, the mascot of the Tumbabrazos de Carolina, is a brownish steel machete with wooden grip, “wearing” an orange kerchief around its hilt, and it’s on orange fire. It looks cool as hell.
