The Racine Belles are a women's team in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The team represents the City of Racine, Wisconsin and it was founded in 1943.
Their uniform is a buttercream yellow dress that has three purple buttons and the team logo on the front, the player number in the back, and the logo of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League on the left sleeve. Along with it they wear a purple belt, a purple wool cap with a purple R on a yellow circle insignia, purple satin shorts with white stripes on the ends and sides, purple stirrups with light blue knee-socks underneath, and black cleats.
Their crest consists of an adaptation of the city of Racine seal. It features a bigger yellow circle surrounded by an outside red tracing that reads in blue letters “City of Racine, Wisconsin”, and a smoller blue inner circle with a yellow drawing of a beehive with three x’s on each side and a straight line on the bottom.
