The team's name, "Moondogs," is a nod to the city of Mankato's rich history and connection to the moon. Mankato was once a major hub for the fur trade, and the Dakota people who lived in the area referred to the moon as "Mankato," meaning "blue earth." The Moondogs' logo features a howling dog against a backdrop of the moon, paying homage to this unique history.
Overall, the Mankato Moondogs are a beloved and respected team in the Northwoods League, known for their talent, dedication, and commitment to their community.
