So you want to be a Big Leaguer and represent, emulate and just all around be like Mike, or Albert, or Chipper?. (but please not Pokey!)
Well kid somebody gotta pony up!!!
Yes MLB, that stands for Major Litigation Business is going after the new generation of fans with a vengeance. If you don’t pay the license fee, you can’t call your team the Cubs, Cardinals, Yankees or any other MLB logoed franchise. You have to buy your uniforms from the official clothier of major league Baseball, that company being Majestic.
Majestic was recently bought by VF Corporation this past February.
Now I am not saying that anyone should boycott Majestic or VF. Quite frankly I wear a lot of their apparel.
Especially like their hoodies…but someone should take a stand. Not necessarily me but someone with a concious, and not a closet or drawer, ok make that hamper and floor full of the deliciously thick and natural fiber luciousness that be Majestic.
Anybody knows if the Little Leaguers can call themselves the Grays, Browns, or Expos etc.? Just wondering…they probably have the rights to the past as well as the present.
The story reminds me when back in the ’90s, when the NFL (No Financial Loser) did a simlar move against Pop Warner football. They politely asked a team called the Vikings to change their names.
It turned out that the Little Vikings club had been in existence before there ever was an NFL Minnesota Vikings franchise.
Touche!
