Take Me Out to the Ballgame
And while you’re at it, pick up some Tommy Bahama MLB gear.
The Seattle-based lifestyle line has expanded its co-branded collection with Major League Baseball Properties, which, in Tommy B’s words “pays homage to America's favorite pastime while delivering authentic skybox style.”
This year’s styles include a Red Sox/Fenway Park shirt celebrating the historic ballpark's centennial (available on April 5--opening day, natch). There’s also a special-edition Yankees shirt, team shirts for the Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers and Atlanta Braves. Plus a St. Louis Cardinals Commemorative World Series shirt will be available in June. And a 2012 All-Star Game shirt will be available at the end of May.
First created to celebrate the 2009 World Series, the Collector’s Edition shirts are truly limited-edition, each has a numbered label and comes with a collector’s certificate.
“Something truly special was created when we launched our first ’Collector’s Edition’ shirt three years ago,” said Terry Pillow, chief executive officer of Tommy Bahama. “Since then our customers have asked for more, and we have responded with an exciting new collection that pairs the signature style of the Tommy Bahama brand with the excitement and authenticity of Major League Baseball.”
This year’s MLB collection includes track jackets, half-zip sweaters, pigment-dyed polos and amp shirt styles with MLB logos.
Tommy Bahama will also open a Yankees-themed Tommy Bahama shop at Yankees Stadium. The Tommy Bahama MLB collection will be sold at Nordstrom, Lord Taylor, select specialty stores and tommybahama.com. The Collector’s Edition gear will be sold at select Tommy Bahama stores and at tommybahama.com.
