• WooSox to honor public art, traffic patterns, hot wieners with alternate identities (sportslogos.net) — Pawtucket baseball fans will see their city honored next season when the Worcester Red Sox suit up as the Pawtucket Hot Wieners, reviving a McCoy Stadium-era identity. The WooSox are rolling out three alternate looks for 2026, but this Rhode Island–themed tribute specifically recognizes the team’s Pawtucket roots and the loyal fans who stuck with the club after its move to Worcester.
