With Switch 2 Coming, Nintendo Logo Will Appear On Pro Baseball Team’s Jerseys

For quite some time now, Nintendo and the Seattle Mariners have enjoyed a strong partnership, and this alliance is set to grow even more substantially this year as the baseball team will prominently display Nintendo emblems on their uniforms.

In the video provided, you’ll notice that the Nintendo logo will be displayed on the left arm of players’ jerseys this coming season. The Seattle Mariners kick off their new season on March 27, which coincidentally falls just before the upcoming Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2 on April 2. These events are all set to unfold in the same year when Nintendo plans to launch the Switch 2.

As a devoted fan, I’m all fired up about the upcoming change in our Seattle Mariners’ jerseys! For the home games, we’ll proudly sport the iconic red Nintendo logo, while on the road, we’ll flaunt the Nintendo Switch 2 emblem on our jerseys. This innovative move makes us the groundbreaking MLB team to don distinct marks for home and away matches – a thrilling new chapter in our franchise’s history!

Enjoy a game of baseball as we announce an exciting expansion in our partnership with the Seattle Mariners! Our brand will now appear on their jersey sleeves throughout the upcoming season. Catch the first glimpse during Opening Day, which is scheduled for March 27th!

In 1992, Hiroshi Yamauchi, then-president and chairman of Nintendo, purchased the Seattle Mariners. Later, in 2016, Nintendo of America’s chairman Howard Lincoln sold a significant portion of Nintendo (the creators of Mario) to new owners for a huge sum of money, but the company continues to hold approximately 10% ownership of the baseball team.

Since 1992, Nintendo and the Seattle Mariners have formed an unbreakable bond, as stated by Kevin Martinez, President of Business Operations for the Mariners. Now, the sleeves of the Mariners’ jerseys will serve as a constant reminder of Nintendo of America’s significant contributions to the Northwest community and the team. This partnership stands out among all Major League Baseball collaborations, and we are deeply appreciative of our exceptional relationship with Nintendo.

In this arrangement, Julio Rodriguez, the star player for Seattle Mariners’ outfield, is officially endorsing Nintendo as a brand representative.

Doug Bowser from Nintendo expressed great excitement about collaborating with such a skillful group of people, among them shining talents like Julio.

It’s unclear if the Nintendo logo will be visible on the Seattle Mariners’ uniforms within the MLB The Show 25 video game.

Speaking of Nintendo, it appears that 2025 could be an exceptionally significant year for them. The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled to hit the market this year, with a tentative release date in June for approximately $400.

If you’re interested in enjoying a baseball experience, the latest Sony game, MLB The Show 25, is available now. On the other hand, Backyard Baseball is set to launch on mobile devices soon. Additionally, if you’re a Fortnite player, you can currently acquire a Shohei Ohtani skin in the game.
