Santos de San Pablo

The St. Paul Saints started their Latin initiative back in 2010, as an Independent Professional Baseball team, with Viva Los Santos. A Saint transcends across numerous nationalities and religions, and is of particular importance to the Latin community. The name St. Paul Saints has not only been important in representing the city since 1993, but likewise Santos de San Pablo is a name the local Latin community helped create in 2010.

 The vibrant colors in the logo represent the papel picado, a decorative craft made by cutting elaborate designs into sheets of tissue paper in Latin folk art. The eyes of the logo are to represent Mexican Marigolds, also known as “the flower of the dead”, while the logo itself shows the face of a pig displayed in the form of a sugar skull. Both play a key role in the annual Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival, and are meant to represent the many ballpigs of the past, which have been a long part of the St. Paul Saints history.
