Reports have surfaced that Nike and the MLB are finalizing a deal for Nike to become the on-field apparel partner. The deal that was announced in 2016 that Under Armour would be taking over the MLB contract is now switching to Nike.

"These rights were originally awarded to Under Amrour in '16, but the company’s recent financial problems made an on-field deal untenable. An industry source said that by not doing the deal, UA will save around $50M at a time when the brand's growth has slowed and its market cap shrunk dramatically." said SportsBusiness Daily. 

If Nike deal goes through for the MLB look for the announcement to come around All-Star Week with all eyes on baseball. Nike will now have the big 3 of sports adding the MLB to their roster of NFL and NBA.

The Kansas City Royals will take part in the 20th anniversary of 'Turn Ahead The Clock Night' in Seattle along with the Mariners. The Royals take a dive into what the future of the baseball uniform could look like and what we could see down the road from the team's look. The emphasis of the uniform is the Royal's crown. We see the teams batting helmets have been designed to make it look like the player batting is actually wearing a crown. The crown is also front and center on the team's caps. The jersey like the Mariners uniforms are sleeveless, a prediction that was made in 1998 of the future of the baseball jersey. The overall uniform is mainly blue with gold accents that really pop throughout the design.

The organization brought out all the stops with the helmet if Ken Griffey Jr. They had a DeLoreana and a robot to throw out the first pitch. The uniforms were sleeveless and untucked with chrome helmets and backwards hats.
