A Brief History

On June 21, 2017, David G. Elmore, president of Elmore Sports Group, announced a relocation plan involving several of its teams. The Helena Brewers Rookie Pioneer League franchise would move to Colorado Springs in 2019 but would continue to compete in the league under a new nickname. Their Triple-A club, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox of the Pacific Coast League, would relocate to and continue in the PCL as the San Antonio Missions. 

The team's name, "Rocky Mountain Vibes", was announced on November 19, 2018 and is in reference to the happy feelings or "good vibes" one may feel when enjoying outdoor activities.

The Vibes began as affiliates of Major League Baseball's Milwaukee Brewers. In conjunction with a contraction of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Pioneer League was converted from an MLB-affiliated league to an independent baseball league and granted status as an MLB Partner League, with Rocky Mountain continuing as a member. 

During the 2021 season, the Vibes served as an unofficial farm team for the Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League, after the two sides signed an agreement allowing Rocky Mountain to host and develop a number of young talents in Monclova's organization. The partnership with Monclova was later renewed for the 2022 season.
