Jersey Day encourages fans to proudly wear their favorite player's and team's jersey to work, school and all over town that day to celebrate their love for the sport and their favorite player and team. To provide all fans with the opportunity to cap off the celebration during a home game, club-centric celebrations are scheduled across the country at every Major League ballpark over the course of two consecutive Fridays – May 22 and May 29.

The new Majestic Cool Base Jersey delivers both superior technology and style creating the most comfortable wearing occasion to date," said Jim Pisani, VF Licensed Sports Group President. "Jersey Day provides a formal jersey wearing occasion for fans in all 30 MLB markets, so they can unify in celebration of America's Pastime."

Players supporting Jersey Day include stars such as Bryce Harper, Matt Harvey, Felix Hernandez, David Ortiz, Yasiel Puig, and Giancarlo Stanton.

"Majestic has done an outstanding job of helping to create unique days for baseball fans everywhere to show their team pride," said Noah Garden, Executive Vice President, Business, Major League Baseball. "Jersey Day is a fun concept for baseball fans to show their fandom at school, work, the ballpark, and anywhere else they go."

"Jersey Day will provide baseball fans everywhere - and of all ages - an opportunity to demonstrate their passion for the game of baseball, by proudly wearing the jersey of their favorite player. The Major League Baseball Players Association is proud of its longstanding relationship with Majestic, and we are excited to have recruited some of the sport's greatest players to help promote Jersey Day," said Evan Kaplan, MLBPA Director, Licensing and Business Development.
