Get ready for a little bit of buzz at the ballpark this summer as the Winnipeg Goldeyes are trading in their traditional identity for one very special night. The team will become the Manitoba Mosquitoes on Friday, July 31, 2026, as part of a one-night-only alternate identity promotion.
While fans may have thought the announcement was just a joke, the Manitoba Mosquitoes will actually take the field at Blue Cross Park for a full game experience featuring a new name, special logo, limited-edition jerseys, and mosquito-themed entertainment throughout the night.
The Manitoba Mosquitoes will hit the field at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, July 31, as the Goldeyes embrace one of Manitoba’s most recognizable summer symbols. The special event is part of Minor League Baseball’s popular alternate identity promotions, where teams temporarily transform their branding for a unique fan experience.
Fans attending the game can expect a complete Mosquitoes takeover, including exclusive branding, specialty uniforms, and themed activities designed around the new identity. The evening will also include a post-game fireworks show.
Limited Edition Manitoba Mosquitoes Jerseys Available
Fans looking to own a piece of this one-night-only team identity can purchase limited-edition Manitoba Mosquitoes merchandise, including jerseys and other apparel.
The special jerseys are available for purchase through the Winnipeg Goldeyes Team Store at ShopGoldeyes.ca. Fans can order the limited-edition Manitoba Mosquitoes jerseys online while supplies last.
Because the Manitoba Mosquitoes identity will only exist for one game, the merchandise is expected to become a unique collector’s item for Goldeyes fans and baseball memorabilia collectors.
