Somerset Patriots

The Somerset Patriots are an American professional Minor League Baseball (MiLB) team based in Bridgewater, New Jersey.

Their most recent Atlantic League playoff appearance was in 2018 when they lost in the semifinals against the Long Island Ducks.

By special order of Congress, a 13-star flag is flown 24 hours a day at the Washington Camp Ground, part of the former Middlebrook encampment, in Bridgewater Township.

In the 1999 season, the Patriots opened their ballpark, where they quickly became one of the most successful franchises of the league in both the win and attendance columns.

[7] Former professional football player Donald Jones briefly played for the Patriots during his recovery from a kidney transplant.

[11] Somerset began competition in the new league as a Yankees affiliate on May 4 with a 6–0 victory over the Harrisburg Senators at TD Bank Ballpark.

The primary logo depicts a Continental soldier in navy blue with white stars on his shoulder and maroon stripes flowing to his left, a reference to the U.S. flag.

The home jersey includes pinstripes and the "Patriots" wordmark centered across the front in navy blue and maroon.

[20] The team also employs another character, a cat (according to Somerset Patriots staff (sometimes mistaken for a bear)) named Slider.

[21] The team had a mascot named "TD" (after the stadium's sponsor) debuted in the June 30, 2010, game against the Camden Riversharks.

Also, the team had a live mascot known as "General Admission" who wore the traditional uniform donned by those fighting for the colonies during the American Revolution complete with the three-cornered hat and musket.
