Adidas and little league Unveil new uniforms for 2019

Portland, Ore. / Williamsport, Pa.– Little League® Baseball and Softball and Adidas today unveiled the uniforms for the 2019 little league world series (LLWS) tournaments, which will make their on-field debut at the start of the senior league Baseball world series in Easley, S.C., on July 27.  

To tell the story behind the LLWS
experience, adidas teamed up with little league to design uniforms that would
showcase the special regions from across the globe, while highlighting the story
of unity, tradition, and the history behind the little league patch. Steeped in
history and tradition, the new adidas uniforms symbolize little League’s
unrivaled ability to unify communities, regions, and countries to celebrate
athletes and spark lifelong friendships through the common language of sports.

“When these kids and girls from
around the world get together Camiseta Athletic Bilbao and share a common goal, there is a unique
bonding experience that happens and we wanted to put a spotlight on that unity
through the design of these uniforms,” said Todd Rolak, Sr. design Director, U.S.
Sports. “The little league world series tournaments are a incredible journey
for young athletes, and we find the ability to have an impact on these moments
and these memories exceptionally satisfying at adidas.”

“The little league world Series
is an famous event that gives the opportunity for kids in communities all
around the world to come together and unite through the games of baseball and
softball,” said Liz DiLullo Brown, little league senior Vice president and
Chief marketing Officer. “Thanks to the incredible efforts of the adidas team,
this year’s uniforms will create a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will
remind every little league world series player about the value of unity,
tradition, and history.”

Blending the past with the present, the newest iterations of the LLWS Baseball and Softball uniforms feature all new elements that were inspired by the original colorways from each region. Highlighted on the jersey’s sleeves are special color bar designs that are inspired by flags and crafted from each regional identity. To symbolize and celebrate the unity that is created among the Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Catar young athletes, each region’s color bar is fused together to create a unity band on the inside of the neck of the jersey – a final tip of the league’s commitment to unity as players don their jerseys and head out to the field.

Positioned on the left sleeve of
each jersey is the signature little league patch in the shape of a keystone,
creating a consistent element to the Baseball and Softball uniforms. The Keystone
was first created in 1948 in homage to little League’s 10th anniversary and mirrors the Camiseta Bayer 04 Leverkusen stone that
holds a house together, representing little League’s ability to hold a
community together. creating a symmetrical look, the LLWS logo is stitched on
the ideal sleeve of each jersey, special to each athlete’s division, event
location, and year they played.

As an additional nod to the
keystone, adidas created an all-new original typography that emphasizes each
region’s name and each player’s number, which has been sublimated into the
chest of each jersey. The lettering and numbers for each regional moniker
begins with a serif from the custom-made created typography and aligns to fit over
the outline of the keystone patch. The final touch includes an underline stretched
below each regional name to picture the game’s base paths.  

In total, adidas created and
created the official on-field uniforms for all seven world series events:
Little league Baseball®, Intermediate (50/70) Baseball, Junior league Baseball,
Senior league Baseball, little league Softball®, Junior league Softball, and
Senior league Softball.  

In addition, adidas will outfit
all teams with adidas cleats, training apparel and accessories, and supply all
coaches with athletic footwear and apparel.
