sportsfan9580 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Carl Pavano is wearing a New Balance undershirt beneath his jersey. Is it MLB-sponsored? I thought Nike was the only brand players wore during gamedays. Any info would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiodrama Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I don't think MLB players are *required* to wear Nike under-apparel; I think it's just supplied to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north dakota Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 New Balance has recently made some deals with the MLB. I know New Balance is the official shoe of MLB umpires and it is also the official footwear and apparel provider for the Red Sox, but I am not sure about the Twins.

phutmasterflex Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Undershirts, to my knowledge, are not required to be only Nike. As long as it complies with the team uniform colors, any undershirt is fine really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Nike owns the undershirts license. Players can wear whatever but no other manufacture logo can appear. Similar to NFL, only NFL equipment (by reebok) can been seen as undergarments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
