MLB teams sport 150-anniversary logo

This year, MLB will celebrate the 150th anniversary of professional baseball. In 1869, the Cincinnati Reds were baseball’s first fully paid team.

All 30 MLB teams will wear the special patch on the right sleeve of their jerseys all season long.

Next to the patch on the right sleeve, all 30 clubs will wear a similar patch on their cap on Opening Day, the first time a league-wide anniversary will be commemorated on caps.

The patch on the right sleeve will feature MLB in black and the number 150 in red surrounding the common MLB logo.

“We’re excited to recognize the 150th anniversary of professional baseball by honoring our history while celebrating the game and the great players of today,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said. “The MLB 150 patch will be a continuous reminder on the field of the link everyone involved in the game today has with the storied history of professional baseball and MLB.”

This isn’t the first time that MLB is celebrating the 1969 Red Stockings as the governing body commemorated them in 1969 and 1994. Compared to the 1994 anniversary patch the current patch is rather small and sober.

Next to the league-wide patches, the Cincinnati Reds will wear 15 throwback uniforms throughout the season.
