THE SILICON VALLEY SPACE UNICORNS ARE READY FOR TAKEOFF!

We're proud to announce our new alternate identity, the Silicon Valley Space Unicorns. The Silicon Valley Space Unicorns celebrate the spirit of San Jose, a city that has spent generations turning impossible ideas into reality. From the pioneers at Lick Observatory and Moffet Field, to the engineers and developers of the Valley, the Silicon Valley has always been a place for dreamers, pioneers and those who look to the stars.

The San Jose Giants will transform into the Unicorns for five games next season, and we can't wait to see you there.
