LB Coast and Regulators
Long Beach Coast
Long Beach has always been its own thing. Look, if you live here, you already know the deal. Long Beach is a big, gritty urban city that somehow still feels like a small town where everybody knows your business. We don’t care about the flash or the ego; we care about who’s been here, who’s stayed here, and who’s got your back.
While other cities may grab the limelight, Long Beach is the one that actually delivers.
That’s what The Coast is all about. It’s a celebration of the energy, diversity, and unmistakable character coming out of each neighborhood. It’s the pulse that connects all of the LBC, representing everyone who calls the 562 home. Whether you’re on the north side or on the shoreline, this identity belongs to all of us who are Long Beach faithfuls—a collective built on grit, resilience, and a deep-seated pride in our community.

What’s an Alternate Identity?
Alternate identities have become a creative tradition across Minor League Baseball, giving teams the canvas to tell the stories that define their communities. For the Long Beach Coast, the choice was instinctive: The 1990s G-Funk era and West Coast hip-hop movement that put Long Beach on the map in a way that has never faded, shaping music, style, and culture for generations.
Long Beach Regulators
It started with a frequency. A smooth, low-end hum from the 562 that changed the world forever. Our alt-identity The Regulators is our tribute to the G-Funk era and the pioneers who put Long Beach on the global map. This identity celebrates the style, soul, and effortless cool that define our city’s DNA. We’re honoring the legends who paved the way while inspiring the next generation to take the lead.
In the 1990s, Long Beach became the epicenter of a cultural revolution. The G-Funk era didn’t just produce chart-topping records; it reshaped how the world heard music, how a generation carried itself, and how one city announced itself to the globe. That era put Long Beach on the map in a way that has never faded. The Regulators identity is built on that foundation: a tribute to the unmistakable swagger that has always defined this city, and a declaration that the Long Beach Coast is here to carry it forward.
