Mizzou Baseball has signed a deal with Majestic Athletic Corp. that will make Majestic, which is the official supplier for Major League Baseball, the official supplier of uniforms and athletic apparel for the Tigers.
The deal 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 Missouri baseball team. Majestic Athletic created the collegiate uniforms by combining form and function, blending the performance of traditional MLB baseball jerseys.
"Majestic is a name recognized around the baseball world and we are proud to join in this partnership with them," Mizzou Head Baseball Coach Tim Jamieson said. "We are very appreciative of the efforts of Majestic and know that this is another step forward in taking our program to the elite level."
The deal is a two-year agreement with an option for a third year and will also provide value for fans, as the same apparel developed for the Tigers will be available in retail.
"We're both proud and excited about the opportunities that this relationship provides for Majestic Athletic and the University of Missouri," stated company President Faust Capobianco. "We constantly look for opportunities to expand our involvement with elite athletes, particularly baseball and softball players, at all competitive levels. This relationship with the University of Missouri certainly fits that bill. We trust that it will result in the development of innovative and marketable apparel products which fit the needs of those that play the game, as well as those that follow it as fanatically as we do."
