Springfield, MO, October 6, 2026 — The Springfield Cardinals, a professional baseball team, are set to undergo a significant rebranding. Effective for the upcoming 2027 season, the team will adopt the new name Ozarks Springbirds. This change marks a new chapter for the franchise, aiming to better represent the broader Ozarks region and its connection to Springfield.

The Ozarks Springbirds will continue their long-standing affiliation with the Major League Baseball organization, the St. Louis Cardinals, maintaining their status as a Double-A team. This continuity in affiliation ensures that the team’s operational and developmental pathways remain aligned with their parent club.

Alongside the new name, the rebranding initiative includes the introduction of entirely new team logos, updated jersey designs, and a refreshed color scheme. These visual elements are being developed to reflect the identity and heritage of the Springfield and Ozarks area. Specific details regarding the new logos, jerseys, and color palette have not yet been released.

The team’s current name, Springfield Cardinals, has been in place for a number of years. The transition to Ozarks Springbirds is scheduled to be fully implemented before the start of the 2027 baseball season, allowing for a comprehensive rollout of the new branding across all team operations and merchandise.
