Ralph Lauren Partners With Major League Baseball
America's favourite pastime...
A momentous celebration, we all remember when Ralph Lauren threw out the first pitch for the Yankees back in 2018 to mark his brand's 50th anniversary. Born and raised in the Bronx idolsing legendary players like Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio, Ralph Lauren has been a lifelong fan of America's favourite pastime. Following the opening pitch, Ralph Laurne created an exclusive, limited edition capsule collection with the Yankees team, including the now iconic satin blue collaborative jacket, the collection was an instant hit and sell out.
For 2021, Polo Ralph Lauren has released the first of three extended, multi-team capsule collections in partnership with the MLB. Dedicated to the history and art of the game, the intial drop champions the New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals, with plans to expand to more teams including the Boston Red Sox.
Known for his sporty collaborations with the US Olympic and Paralympic teams, the name Ralph Lauren has become synonymous with Wimbledon and tennis and looks to be an incredible hit with baseball too. The succint, sporty capsule consists of Polo shirts, satin jackets inspired by the one Mr. Lauren wore for the 2018 Yankees Stadium pitch, fleece sweatshirts, hoodies and hats. The collaborative pieces integrate classic Ralph Lauren colours such as red and navy with green and white for the Yankees, green and blue for the Cubs, and green and white for the Dodgers and Cardinals, along with special team themed Polo Bear shirts and crewneck sweatshirts.
Check out highlights from the digital first global campaign inspired by vintage baseball cards and our top picks from the collection below. Alongside the launch, the Ralph's Airstream will go on a cross-country tour, making stops in select locations from New York City to Chicago's Gallagher Way, and will offer ballpark themed food and beverage options.
The collections are available now at RalphLauren.com, MLBShop.com and on The Polo App.
