He wears the team’s home uniform with white sneakers. The mascot debuted in 1998, at the Atlantic League’s first All-Star Game at Bernie Robbins Stadium in Atlantic City. Sparkee’s name refers to the Patriots first manager, Sparky Lyle. The team also employs another character, a cat named Slider. After training with Sparkee for several months, he debuted in the 2007 season. Slider wears the Patriots’ navy blue alternate jersey with gray pants. The team also has a live mascot known as “General Admission” who wears the traditional uniform donned by those fighting for the colonies during the American Revolution complete with the three cornered hat and musket. Fun Facts Yankees legend and 1977 Cy Young Award Winner Sparky Lyle is their Manager Emeritus. Lyle managed the Somerset Patriots from 1998-2012 | Since the team began play in 1998, 21 former Somerset Patriots have either returned to the MLB level or made their Big League debut after their Atlantic League service in Somerset.
