ISRAEL BASEBALL LAUNCHES EXTENSIVE NEW MERCHANDISE LINE IN TIME FOR FATHER’S DAY

Supports Israel and a New Era of Professionalization for Israel Baseball

Baltimore, MD – May 22, 2024 – Following an incredibly successful closed Beta launch, Israel Baseball has launched its official online store to sell its brand new line of merchandise — just in time for Father’s Day. The new gear offers a perfect way to support Israel and Israel Baseball as it enters a new era of professionalization. Sale proceeds go to furthering Israel Baseball’s mission and ensuring a strong pipeline of talent for the national team.

Israel Baseball worked with a world-renowned leader in logo design to create five new logo marks to be used on its official merchandise (see above header). The new logos also will be used on Team Israel’s official on-field uniforms and practice apparel and equipment, which will be launched later this year. Official Israel Baseball merchandise is now available for purchase at www.israelbaseball.org/us/shop-all/

The collection features an array of new, sophisticated designs across shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and bags that enable fans to showcase their pride and support of Israel and Israel Baseball. The new Israel Baseball merchandise design thoughtfully incorporates Jewish symbolism and iconography to encapsulate the essence of Israeli and Jewish traditions into a visual representation that works for baseball. The new designs will be featured on all Israel national team uniforms for 2024 and 2025.

“This launch is an open invitation to those who love and support Israel and/or love baseball to show their support for Israel and Israel’s national baseball team. Our new swag lets our fans and our players from 12 years old to 40 years old represent Israel in great style and with great pride,” commented Nate Fish, Israel Baseball Americas CEO. “Fans of Israel and Israel Baseball, as well as our players, can now truly wear their hearts on their sleeves. Or in this case, across their chest and on their head, as well as on their sleeves.”

Israel Baseball Americas offers on and off field programming for Team Israel players and fans of all ages from youth camps to travel teams, showcases for high-school players, even fantasy camp for older Israel Baseball dreamers. IBA also handles all scouting and player development for the Israel National Team program, monitoring and managing a growing database of high-school, college, and professional players in Israel and the US, looking for the next generation of Team Israel talent.

“With Father’s Day around the corner, we felt this was the perfect time to launch our new and expansive Israel Baseball merchandise collection,” added Adam Gladstone, Israel Baseball Americas COO, “Baseball is a sport that brings people together and many people have fond memories with their father at a ballpark or playing the game together. We couldn’t be prouder to offer a line of gear that brings our people together and fosters community. Israel and baseball is ultimately where traditions meet!”
