John Oliver and the "Last Week Tonight" crew will temporarily rebrand the Erie Seawolves as the Erie Moon Mammoths on July 19

The Erie SeaWolves have a new alternate identity, thanks to the help of HBO’s "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver." After extensive research, say hello to the Erie Moon Mammoths — a tribute to a local fossil excavation that occurred in 1991.

Before the Erie Moon Mammoths, there was a lone male mammoth, a Summit Township diver and an Erie County lake. Find out how bones, a man and a body of water led to the SeaWolves' new name.
