The Louisville Bats, Triple-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds in the International League, will pay tribute to atmospheric moisture with a new alternate identity for 2026—the Louisville Humidity. The brand centers around an anthropomorphic baseball, sweating profusely and holding a bat and a baseball, which is not anthropomorphic but is also sweating profusely.
With the new logo, the team unveiled a jersey design, which includes strategically placed sweat marks, as well as a wavy, drippy custom font.
The annual average relative humidity of Louisville, Kentucky, is 69, which makes it more humid than cities like Atlanta (68), Kansas City (68), and Dallas (65), but not quite as bad as cities like Orlando (74), Jacksonville (76), or New Orleans (76).
The Louisville Humidity will be present all summer long in 2026, but the team will take the field wearing their custom new look Saturday, June 13; Friday, July 10; Friday, July 31; Friday, August 14; and Saturday, September 12.
