Big league sponsorships are coming to players’ uniforms, there’s no way around it. Like it or not, MLB approved that as a part of the new CBA discussions, and it’s expected to bring in a bunch of revenue for teams. Naturally, fans haven’t received the news very well.
But MLB teams will be rocking sponsored patches on their uniforms as soon as the 2023 season. That would presumably include the Dodgers, because why miss out on the opportunity to make some free money?
But in an interesting twist, MLB just approved sponsorship patches for CBD brands. In order to be approved, those brands need to be certified by the National Sanitation Foundation, per the Sports Business Journal.
