Apparel brand Roots Of Fight is launching a new line in collaboration with the Major League Baseball Players Association in honor of the Negro Leagues' 100th anniversary this year.
Retired MLB pitcher CC Sabathia served as the creative director for the line, which debuted Thursday. Roots Of Fight will roll out the line over the course of the year in capsules. It will feature T-shirts, hoodies, shorts and more. Each capsule will look to honor legendary former Black players.
The capsule released Thursday honors Jackie Robinson, who broke baseball's color barrier in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
