Organized baseball has been played in Swift Current since at least 1908 as the city was represented in the Western Saskatchewan League that season.

The 1909 Swift Current baseball team was crowned Amateur Champions of Saskatchewan and toured North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa.

In a website press release dated September 1, 2016, the team officially notified the Western Major Baseball League of its intent to change the name and branding to a yet-to-be-determined name and logo.

Long time Swift Current player/coach Harv Martinez explained that the new name would reflect the evolving focus and standards of the organization as community leaders, stating: "The tradition and passion for baseball in this region will still be strong and vibrant.

The new brand honours 57 years of Swift Current Indians baseball, although moving away from a name deemed too controversial for the twenty-first century.
