Naturals Unveil New Logos and Uniforms

December 6, 2023 – Texas League (TL) – Northwest Arkansas Naturals News Release

SPRINGDALE, Ark – When the Northwest Arkansas Naturals take the field on Friday, April 5, 2024, against the Tulsa Drillers (Double-A Affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers), they will be showcasing an all-new look as the organization unveiled a brand-new logo package and uniform combinations today.
