Wilson Warbirds Baseball Club

Welcome to Wilson’s Airshow of Athleticism

“Warbirds are retired military aircraft that have been restored, largely by civilian owners, almost always after the military has retired the model... Thousands of them are kept in flying condition, part of a commitment by aviation historians to keep the planes flying and not just part of a static display.”
--Plane and Pilot Magazine

Wilson Warbirds is a fusion of charm, attitude, and Wilson's whimsical essence. Inspired by vintage aircraft, the name conjures images of authentic, majestic military planes iconic to American history.

The Warbirds narrative connects to Wilson native Vollis Simpson, a WWII pilot-turned-artist whose Whirligig sculptures – several stories tall and powered by the wind – tower in Whirligig Park, located directly behind left field in the new Wilson downtown stadium.

Designed to symbolize historical significance and unmatched speed, the logo celebrates community passions for baseball, aviation, and Americana.

Warbird restoration is a reverential process that parallels the active revitalization of Historic Downtown Wilson and echoes a commitment to preserving cultural legacy while embracing innovation.

The Wilson Warbirds brand identity spreads the community’s wings through heritage and vision, welcoming all to the airshow and soaring to its rightful rank as the town’s team.
