FREDERICK, MD – The Frederick Keys, the newly announced High-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, today unveiled a refreshed brand identity as the team prepares for its return to affiliated baseball in 2026. While the logos have been updated, they proudly pay homage to the Orioles’ iconic wordmark and the team’s signature orange and black color palette.
The updated logo suite includes:
- The “Keys” script wordmark – A refreshed, stylized mark that honors the team’s legacy while echoing the Baltimore Orioles’ iconic typography, reinforcing the connection between the two clubs.
- The “Frederick Keys” club logo – A dynamic design that showcases the bold “Keys” script, anchored by the word “Frederick” to highlight the team’s hometown pride. Two orange keys cleverly suspend from the tail of the “y”, reinforcing the team’s name with a playful element.
- The new “F” logomark – A bold, modern emblem with clean lines and a strong silhouette. The horizontal stroke of the “F” is artfully designed as a key, symbolizing both the team’s name and its connection to Frederick’s heritage. This mark reflects the city’s pride, resilience, and enduring love for baseball.
- The “Key City” wordmark – Celebrating Frederick’s nickname and its deep ties to baseball, this new wordmark is rendered in the same iconic script style as the “Keys” logo, creating a cohesive visual identity that honors tradition while embracing the future.
Fans will also be excited to know that Keyote, the team’s beloved mascot, will remain a central part of the Frederick Keys experience. As part of the brand refresh, Keyote will debut a new uniform and hat, bringing fresh energy to the ballpark while staying true to the character fans have cherished for years.

“These logos aren’t just graphics—they're a reflection of the spirited and rich traditions of Frederick and its enduring love for baseball,” said Greg Baroni, Founder and CEO of Attain Sports and owner of the Frederick Keys. “This community never stopped believing, and as we return to affiliated baseball, our commitment is stronger than ever. We’re focused on delivering affordable, family-friendly entertainment and exceptional customer service that makes every visit to the ballpark memorable. We’re investing not just in the stadium, but also in the full fan experience. The refreshed brand is just the beginning of what’s to come in 2026!”
