Bethlehem, PA — When the Lehigh University baseball and softball teams take the field on opening day of the season, they will be wearing new uniforms custom designed by Majestic Athletic, the same company that designs, markets and manufactures uniforms for Major League Baseball (MLB). Majestic Athletic will be supplying Lehigh University, whose baseball opening day is February 23, with baseball and softball uniforms.

 

The new uniforms are part of a two-year sponsorship and licensing deal that makes Majestic Athletic the “Official Supplier” of team uniforms and athletic wear, including jerseys, jackets, gamers, shorts, sweatshirts, on-field caps and technical garments, for the university baseball team. The agreement also provides value for fans as the same apparel developed for the university team will also be available in retail.  Majestic Athletic created the collegiate uniforms by combining form and function, blending the performance of traditional MLB baseball jerseys.  

 

"Lehigh Athletics is very excited about our partnership with Majestic,” said Glenn Hofmann, associate athletics director. “To be able to work with an organization that is respected nationally for their quality of production and is also based locally in the Lehigh Valley is exciting for our coaches and student-athletes. In addition to baseball and softball, we look forward to expanding and growing our partnership with Majestic to include several other sports at Lehigh University."

 

Baseball is at the core of Majestic Athletic’s business and heritage. Throughout the past several years, Majestic Athletic has built its baseball-related businesses through consistent product and service innovations. Beginning with this 2005 MLB season, Majestic Athletic will have the exclusive on-field outfitting and retail distribution rights to supply MLB Authentic Collection™, the line of apparel worn on the field by all 30 Major League Baseball Clubs.

 

“The partnership with Lehigh University is a natural extension of our commitment to bring innovation and value to baseball and softball players at all levels of play. It is also a tremendous opportunity for Majestic Athletic to bring excitement and value to the university, our retail partners and fans,” said Faust Capobianco IV, president, Majestic Athletic. “We look forward to continuing to develop opportunities that connect us with collegiate athletes and fans through the apparel we create.”
