These designs took a while to put together, given how busy and heavy this summer has been, but we're very proud of them and hope they did your favorite mascot justice. Again: lnpgaceta.threadless.com/collections/...
Triunfragio, the mascot of the Guardacostas de Cataño, is an orca with a white belly, black sides, and curvy blue topside, holding in their viewer-side fin an anchor whose rope they've frayed to breaking and looking quite smug about it.

In this ad, they're placed against a gold background for contrast, with the team's name in a blue sort of Courier-ish, seafood-restaurant-ish font, outlined in black and white and shadowed in more black, split in half: "Guardacostas" follows the curve of the orca's body, while below it, "de Cataño" stands in straight angle. Zanjabalí, the mascot of the Insolentes de Fajardo, is a sassy steel-gray pig with ("saffron," according to the Insos) orange nose, eyelids, ear . . . borders? tufts? ridges? . . . hooves, tail, and spots along the back, as well as the mane (crest? ridge?) along its back.

For this ad, they're against a green background, with the team name in a big, suitably in-your-face rough font: "Insolentes," in steel gray outlined in saffron, meets "Fajardo," in saffron outlined in black, in perpendicular diagonals; between them is a simple white "de."Paquidermazo, the mascot of the Martilleros de Vega Alta, is a purple elephant with white tusks, a gold chest punctuated by purple “bowtie” and “buttons,” and gold bands around its wrists and ankles, which end in golden hooves as well. It’s wielding a brown gavel with a gold band around the middle.

For this ad, we've put him on top of a circus-like semicircle banded in red and gold, topped with the word "Martilleros" (Hammermen, or maybe Auctioneers) in a circus font where the top half of each letter is red and the bottom is gold. Below him, in much less descript text, is the rest of the team name: "de Vega Alta." The background, for contrast purposes, is pink.Aureovina, the mascot of the Santos de Adjuntas, is a white lamb with purple-and-green wings, purple hooves, eyes and snout, and a golden halo with purple and green triangles.

For this ad, they're placed against a dark blue background that surrounds their halo with a magenta cross--and-circle combo. Below its left front foot, the text of its team name—"Santos de Adjuntas"—in green Gothic text outlined in black and then white follows a curve up and to the right.

We decided not to stream tonight, because our broadcast team is dealing with a lot of current issues, and 🇯🇲 Everton Stack of the 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG responds by doing this:
A box score showing the Navegadores de Naguabo beat the Soles de Luquillo 6-0 on April 4th, 1910, because Stack threw a perfect game. The "article" is total boilerplate.

Your #MascotBowl V champion, who gained their 19th vote just thirty minutes before the end of closing and managed to hold onto the lead, bravely fending off tusks and hammerblows— The power of Christ compelled it! It's the ✝️ #SantosADJ's Aureovina!
A square post on the red-and-blue lightning background I've been using for the Mascot Bowl showing that the champion is Aureovina, the saintly white sheep with its purple-and-green wings and its gold halo with purple and green triangles. Its name, "Aureovina," is in a green Old English-style font like the one its team, the Santos de Adjuntas, uses.

Our #Pride fundraiser continues! Almost $220 for @translifeline.org, entirely from you wonderful souls. Let's keep raising those numbers. If you got your shirt already, why not show it off? You might get to see the ones we got at La Central later today. 👀 lnpgaceta.threadless.com/collections/...
An update on the Pride fundraiser the LNP is doing, in which 100% of proceeds go to Trans Lifeline:

Orders have generated $124 in proceeds, which does not include any donations from Threadless because they are notoriously mysterious about that stuff. (Yes, we should probably find a different vendor. Take it up with Luis.)

19 unique orders means that our matching funds go up to $95, which means the total raised is $219.

Turns out the previous images didn't render . . . which is a perfect excuse for us to run it back. Get into our #Pride fundraiser—buy cool shirts, notebooks, stickers, whatever you want, and raise money for @translifeline.org while you're at it! Goods at: lnpgaceta.threadless.com/collections/...
A square slide showing that we have currently raised $184 for Trans Lifeline, which breaks down as follows:

- $109 proceeds from the sales themselves;
- at 13 orders, $75 in matching funds from yours truly.A passel of Pride stickers in various sizes, and a lavender notebook with the Pride design for the year. This year's design is a big, bold baseball swash, such as you might find on a 1973 Royals uniform, showing the word "Orgullo" ("Pride" in Spanish) in the Progress Pride flag colors, from black, brown, pink, white, light blue, into the classic rainbow.

🔵 Hostos #6: It's a fairly impressive job that we've made it to five Mascot Bowls without a rhinoceros charging onto the field, but with Embestitán, we're making up for lost time. This two-ton beast is ready to take on all comers. Vote for it! strawpoll.com/2ayLQE8Dqn4 🦏 #CornúpetasCAY #MascotBowl
Embestitán, the mascot of the Cornúpetas de Cayey (whose well-adorned silver "C" sits on red at the bottom of the card) is a gray rhino, with white hooves and horns and red eyes, wearing red armor that includes a half-helm and white striping around the neck and chest. It's a Ground/Steel type. Moves are Horn Attack, Giga Impact (Normal), Iron Head (Steel), Headlong Rush (Ground).

🔵 Hostos #5: You know, usually treasure chests are quite jealous of their contents, and a team named for businessmen should probably be more circumspect with spending. Cofrescachón, though, is quite happy to spread the wealth. Vote for it! strawpoll.com/NoZrzXVWGZ3 🏪 #MercaderesVIL #MascotBowl
Cofrescachón, the mascot of the Mercaderes de Villalba, whose regular ol' white V bordered in teal sits on a dark blue background, is a happy little chest full of gold coins! It's got white sides with teal metalwork, joined together by blue plates with teal rivets and blue hooks on the sides. It's a Steel/Fairy type, with moves Make It Rain, Metal Sound (Steel), Safeguard (Normal) and Dazzling Gleam (Fairy).

🔵 Hostos #4: You might not think of Garzaterva's paired herons as "friendly," exactly, but you'd be wrong. What they're not is friendly to you. Don't talk to them. Matter of fact, don't even make eye contact. They've got stuff to do. Vote for it! strawpoll.com/NoZrzXVWGZ3 🤝 #AmigosGUC #MascotBowl
Garzaterva, the mascot of the Amigos de Guánica (their sharp "G," in claret gradient, sits on a powder-blue background, much Phillies, very style, wow) are two claret herons with blue feet, blue-tinted wingtips, and blue faces sand bills, who are very much interested in you never talking to them ever again. They're friends with each other, not you. They're a Flying/Psychic type, with moves Twin Beam, Take Heart, Ally Switch (Psychic) and Dual Wingbeat (Flying).

Gaceta de la LNP @lnpgaceta.org · 11/06/2026
🔵 Hostos #3: Seapower comes in many forms. For Buquebrante, who might not look like a particularly destructive force on first sight, it comes in leading the aquatic life of the island to seek, to strive, to find and not to yield. Vote for it! strawpoll.com/2ayLQE8Dqn4 🔱 #MarinerosBAR #MascotBowl
Buquebrante, the mascot of the Marineros de Barceloneta (you can see their big gold official-looking "B" on navy at the bottom of the page) is a dark blue seahorse with golden fins, belly, and eye, wearing a white sailor cap with a blue band around the bottom and a white trident tattoo on what would be its shoulder. It's a Water/Dragon type, with moves Hydro Cannon, Liquidation, Surf (all Water) and Dragon Rush (Dragon).

Gaceta de la LNP @lnpgaceta.org · 11/06/2026
🔵 Hostos #2: If the lamb jumped off the Puerto Rico coat of arms and into a Byzantine icon, it might look a little like Aureovina, whose holiness radiates from every thread of its blessed wool. How fitting for Adjuntas, whose success must have once seemed divinely ordained. ✝️ #SantosADJ #MascotBowl
Trading card for Aureovina, the mascot of the Santos de Adjuntas, whose Gothic “A” logo in green sits on a purple card flap. Aureovina is a white lamb with purple-and-green wings, purple hooves, eyes and snout, and a golden halo with purple and green triangles. It’s a Psychic/Grass type, with the following moves: Magic Coat, Zen Headbutt, Teleport (Psychic), Solar Beam (Grass). The card itself is blue, with white striping.

🔵 Hostos #1: Warthogs already feel like fairly sassy animals, but Zanjabalí may be on a whole new level. The Fajardo mascot is so full of what you'd call hubris . . . if not for the fact that, based on its team's success, it 100% deserves to carry itself so arrogantly. 🩸 #InsolentesFAJ #MascotBowl
Zanjabalí, the mascot of the Insolentes de Fajardo, whose saffron “F” logo in big fancy serif font sits on a steel-gray league flap. Zanjabalí is a sassy steel-gray pig with orange nose, eyelids, ear . . . borders . . . hooves, tail, and spots along the back, as well as the mane (crest? ridge?) along its back. It’s a Dark/Fire type (how appropriate are the colors?), with the following moves: Fiery Wrath and Foul Play (Dark), Templer Flare and Flame Charge (Fire). The card itself is blue, with white striping.

🔴 Betances #6: If you had Ojimelaza as your neighbor, would you give it the sugar it so fervently desires? Or could you resist those adorably small black eyes? Could you make this poor worried soul glide in search of the sweet stuff? Vote for it! strawpoll.com/Q0Zp7XV8GgM 🍭 #CañerosVGB #MascotBowl
Ojimelaza is the mascot of the Cañeros de Vega Baja, whose very ornate “VB” logo sits on the blue league flap. He’s a sugar glider with a red body, a light blue face with sharp red markings between its small black eyes, a red nose, and a very worried expression on its white mouth. Its tail is striped as follows: three thin light blue stripes around two thin white stripes, two thick red stripes around a thick white stripe, and then it repeats. Like a candy cane that got an art degree. It’s a Grass/Flying type, with the following moves: Grassy Glide (Grass), Wing Attack (Flying), Sweet Scent and Tail Slap (Normal). The card itself is red, with black striping.

🔴 Betances #5: How did it take this long for the capital of Puerto Rico to get its own mascot? The city that broke Francis Drake's legs, survived Hendricksz and Abercromby, and defeated William Sampson, certainly deserves one! Vote for it! strawpoll.com/wAg3QJ8pGy8 🧱 #MetropolitanosSJU #MascotBowl
Murallanador, the mascot of the Metropolitanos de San Juan (with their big sans-serif red-on-dark-blue "SJ" logo) is like if a red wall, with white mortarwork, suddenly grew two stubby blue legs and two beefy blue arms, and walked off still carrying two garitas (bartizans, watchtowers) and a small collection of multicolored little houses along its top. It's a Rock/Steel type, with moves including Barrier (Psychic), Armor Cannon (Fire), Heavy Slam (Steel) and Mega Punch (Normal).

Gaceta de la LNP @lnpgaceta.org · 11/06/2026
🔴 Betances #4: While the shores of Puerto Rico are usually defended by more conventional means, every man and woman in Caribbean blue and white would cheer to see Triunfragio swimming towards the enemy. It knows what it's doing. Vote for it! strawpoll.com/wAg3QJ8pGy8 ⚓ #GuardacostasCAT #MascotBowl
Triunfragio, the mascot of the Guardacostas de Cataño—their black block letter “C” sits on the light blue card flap—is an orca with a white belly, black sides, and curvy blue topside, holding in their fin an anchor they’ve ripped out of the rope. They’re a Water/Fighting type: moves are Whirlpool, Aqua Cutter, Hydro Pump and Snipe Shot (all Water).
121
Gaceta de la LNP @lnpgaceta.org · 11/06/2026
🔴 Betances #3: If I turned up to an auction and it was run by a purple and gold elephant holding a gavel in its trunk, I think I'd be much more encouraged to make bids. How about you? Paquidermazo hopes to go once, go twice, WIN! Vote for it! strawpoll.com/Q0Zp7XV8GgM 🔨 #MartillerosVGA #MascotBowl
Paquidermazo is the mascot of the Martilleros de Vega Alta—that’s their cool-looking “VA” logo in purple and gold. Paquidermazo himself is a purple elephant, with white tusks, a gold chest punctuated by purple “bowtie” and “buttons,” and gold bands around its wrists and ankles, which end in golden hooves as well. It’s wielding a brown gavel with a gold band around the middle. It’s a Fighting/Dragon type, with the following moves: Dragon Hammer (Dragon), Super Fang, Belly Drum and Body Slam (all Normal). The card itself is red, with black striping.

🔴 Betances #2: If you're going to carry around your house, why not trick it out to the max? Cormitraza's a perfect example. Its Eminence may not have been appointed by the Pontiff of Rome, but it's got enough style to go toe-to-toe with any other metropolitan. 🧛 #ArzobisposAGD #MascotBowl
Cormitraza, the mascot of the Arzobispos de Aguada, whose orange “AA” logo in modern sans-serif font sits on a black background, is a blue nerite snail with orange eyes and small antennae. The real attraction is its shell, which is massive and orange, with black drop-like markings across the sides in front tof a small white-laced whirl, and a series of white markings with black borders that look like an archbishop’s miter. It’s a Poison/Water type, with the following moves: Trailblaze (Grass), Sludge Bomb, Shell Side Arm and Gunk Shot (Poison). The card itself is red, with black striping.

Gaceta de la LNP @lnpgaceta.org · 11/06/2026
🔴 Betances #1: Don't get fooled by all that soft, elaborate lace on his cape, or the picaresque angle of his stuck-out tongue. Ranzafio's not content to thumb his nose at authority (indeed, he has neither thumb nor nose)—this ball of defiance will straight up kill you! 🧛 #RebeldesMOC #MascotBowl
Trading card for Ranzafio, the mascot of the Rebeldes de Moca, whose maroon “M” logo in blocky lowercase font sits on a silver league flap. Ranzafio is like if Bart Simpson was both a vampire and actually evil. It’s a silver-faced vampire with blue “hair,” including the requisite widow’s peak; maroon eyes, lidded in blue, and a big pink tongue sticking out between his white fangs. It wears a blue cape with maroon lining, topped with white lace resembling Gothic windows. It’s a Ghost/Dark type, with moves Bite (Dark), Bitter Malice and Spite (Ghost) and Hypnosis (Psychic). The card itself is red, with black striping.

Quick reminder on #MascotBowl rules: • LNP patrons nominated 12 teams: 6 from 🔴 Liga Betances, 6 from 🔵 Liga Hostos. • Seeding was done according to strength of votes: how many patrons put each team 1st, 2nd, etc. • Each round lasts 3 days, run through Strawpoll. Ready for the Parade? So are we!
The initial bracket for Mascot Bowl V. Liga Betances, in red, and Liga Hostos, in blue, each get their half of the bracket; in each one, there's a preliminary round where the #3 and #6 seeds play each other to determine who plays the #1 seed, and the #4 and #5 seeds play each other to determine who plays the #2 seed. Once the Round of Eight contestants are all decided, those four matches are played; then the semifinals determine each league's champion, followed by the final round between the Betances champion and the Hostos one.

You can't see the actual mascots very well here, so we'll give you greater detail on them in a bit with the Parade of the Contestants.

Obviously, LGBTQ+ people have been part of baseball for decades. They are no less present, and just as notable, in the history of the Liga Nacional Puertorriqueña. Just as we celebrate all other sorts of diversity in the wonderful LNPverse, this month is a cause for joy. Happy #Pride, gente.
The logo of the Liga Nacional Puertorriqueña, done up for Pride: a red nautical star sits on a series of concentric circles in the transgender flag colors, which in turn sits on a wide circle filled with a rainbow gradient, bordered in a brown and then a black circle to symbolize the diversity in Puerto Rico. In front of the logo are big white block letters saying "Pride." All of this, on a slide showing a darkened bat, ball and glove lying on a table. The slide's been patterned to be in small little squares.

The LNP bat-ball-glove slide, but instead of the usual nautical star at the center of the LNP logo in red and white, it's two question marks laid out in ying yang fashion.

To the right, you can see the categories of trivia:
1) "True Colors," on a rainbow-pattern rectangle.
2) "Potpourri," surrounded by dried flowers in red and green.
3) "Family Matters," surrounded by a circle of people at every stage of life.
4) "Worlds Within Worlds," where the text contains a globe in classic blue and green.
5) "We Are #2," which is a silver foam hand with two fingers pointing up.

1907/04/01: Unsatisfied with promoting a new backup catcher, the 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG bring up their (and the LNP's) top prospect: middle infielder and all-around thunderbat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Adam McKinnon, who just enjoyed a breakout season in the developmental leagues. Good luck to him in his first LNP season!
Promotion slide for 20-year-old Scottish second baseman Adam McKinnon, #13, 174 centimeters tall and 90 kilograms heavy.

His scouting grades are as follows, on a 1-100 scale: 45 Contact, 45 Power, 45 Eye, 80 Fielding, 35 Arm.

The text on the slide reads: "Recently chosen as the #1 prospect in the Liga Nacional Puertorriqueña, McKinnon’s power and plate discipline are considered his twin calling cards.

After a breakout season with the Malditos, his arrival at the major- league level is extremely timely, as the Navegadores’ current core of players begins to age out."

1907/04/01: LNP analysts were shocked by how breezily confident the 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG seemed after the departure of longtime starting catcher 🇦🇷 Spike Stonehand. Turns out that's because they already had a new backstop in the wings. Meet the newest member of La Brújula: 🇬🇷 Damianos Angelopoulos.
Promotion slide for 19-year-old Greek catcher Damianos Angelopoulos, #36, 175 centimeters tall and 88 kilograms heavy.

His scouting grades are as follows, on a 1-100 scale: 45 Contact, 40 Power, 40 Eye, 90 Fielding, 90 Arm.

The text on the slide reads: "The first player of Greek descent in Liga Nacional Puertorriqueña history, Angelopoulos—like most of the Navegadores’ surprise signings—came to their attention in the informal “sailor ball” games that happened near the local docks. His ability to scramble behind the plate, despite his stocky frame, impressed scouts."
