BRIDGEWATER - The Somerset Patriots will temporarily rebrand as the “Somerset Semiquincentennials” this summer for America's 250th anniversary.
The new name will be used for games over the Independence Day weekend between July 3 and 5 and again on Aug. 15 for Revolutionary Revelry Night. All four games will feature a special uniform design, patriotic ballpark decorations at TD Bank Ballpark, and postgame fireworks on select nights, except for July 5.
Players and coaches will wear red-and-blue pinstriped jerseys with a Semiquincentennial wordmark across the chest in blue. Their sleeves will feature signatures from the Declaration of Independence's signers in golden writing.
The games will include Revolutionary War imitators for fans to interact with. The first 2,000 fans at these games will receive commemorative trading cards focused on historical locations and people connected to the Revolutionary War in New Jersey.

Pre-game ceremonies will host readings of the Declaration of Independence.
The July 5 game will include a reading by descendants of the five New Jersey signers − Abraham Clark, John Hart, Francis Hopkinson, Richard Stockton and John Witherspoon.
The Aug. 15 game will host encampments in front of the ballpark with characters dressed as George Washington and other Revolutionary War figures.
At the end of the game, a cannon will be fired followed by postgame fireworks on the field.
