Hall of Fame Partners with Ebbets Field for Military Classic Uniforms
COOPERSTOWN—The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum has partnered with Ebbets Field for uniforms worn by Hall of Famers and players participating in the Saturday, May 23 Hall of Fame Military Classic: A Tribute to Service and Sacrifice. The uniformed representatives on Doubleday Field will wear wool jersey tops replicating baseball uniforms from armed forces, officials said.
“We’ve been honored to work with the Hall of Fame for many years, including the uniforms for the 2024 Hall of Fame East-West Classic, and we really hope the players love these jerseys and that they honor the work that they’ve done,” said Sunny Chang, design director for Ebbets Field. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring authenticity to these moments.”
According to a press release, the Hall of Fame Military Classic jerseys feature the name of the service branch across the chest and a left sleeve patch with the game logo. The jerseys were based on archival photos and available historic uniforms, and each military branch reviewed the jerseys before they were fabricated.
Ebbets Field also produces the jerseys worn by Hall of Famers when they are first elected to the Hall of Fame.
