After a 2037 season that saw the UMEBA hastily throw together 8 teams and play half a season with whatever logos and jerseys could be scraped together on short notice, BBA GM Matt Rectenwald announced to the league that he would like the teams to rebrand in a more deliberate sense before the 2038 season begins.

The Green Knights name served us well for the first UMEBA campaign but going forward the team will be renamed and rebranded as the Cedars."
