Mississippi Mud Monsters Add New On-Field Hat Ahead of Opening Day
PEARL, Miss. (May 7, 2026) - Opening Day has arrived, and the Mississippi Mud Monsters are adding one more piece to the swamp.
After debuting one of the most flexible uniform sets in professional baseball during their inaugural 2025 season, the Mud Monsters have added a third on-field team hat to their official uniform rotation for 2026. The new black crown and teal visor cap is a CAPX Pro Blend Stretch Fit, matching the construction of the team’s original on-field hats. It features the Mud Monsters’ Swimming Fish logo across the front, matching teal accents, a CAPX maker’s mark on the side and “Mississippi” stitched across the back.
The addition expands the Mud Monsters’ uniform system from 18 possible combinations to 27.
Three jerseys, three pants and three on-field hats now give the Mud Monsters 27 possible uniform combinations.
The Mud Monsters’ original uniforms were unveiled in April 2025 under the theme “Built from the Swamp,” with three jerseys, three pants and two hats creating 18 possible on-field combinations. The set was designed to give the expansion franchise a look rooted in Pearl, shaped by Mississippi and built around the strange, cinematic energy of the Mud Monsters brand.

Built from the Swamp
The original uniform story continues into year two.
Three jerseys. Three pieces of the swamp.
The three jerseys remain central to the team’s identity: Teal for the deep waters monsters call home, White for the heavy morning mist rolling across the swamp and Black for the midnight hours when the real legends wake up.
Color, contrast and Pearl pride.
The three pants also continue the story, with Teal pants featuring Pirate Gold piping as a nod to Pearl’s heritage, White pants with Teal and Cypress Green piping for a clean contrast, and Black pants with solid Teal piping for a sharp midnight look.
The Third Hat
The Swimming Fish joins the everyday on-field mix.
Swimming Fish CAPX Pro Blend Stretch Fit
Now, the new Swimming Fish CAPX Pro Blend Stretch Fit cap joins the team’s original Teal and Steel crown CAPX Pro Blend Stretch Fit hats, giving the Mud Monsters three official on-field hat options to pair with their three jerseys and three pants.
The new hat also brings one of the franchise’s most recognizable marks into the everyday uniform mix. While the raised “M” logo remains a key part of the Mud Monsters’ identity, the Swimming Fish gives the club another on-field look with more motion, attitude and creature-forward energy.
The Full System
Three jerseys. Three pants. Three hats. Twenty-seven ways to tell the story.
Still stitched with Mississippi
Every Mud Monsters uniform will continue to include the State of Mississippi Flag stitched on the right sleeve, along with the team’s dripping Creature Flow font, originally created by The Cirlot Agency of Flowood, Mississippi.
Players will also continue to wear matte black Rawlings helmets featuring the Swinging Fish logo on the front and the State of Mississippi Flag on the back.
