The first capsule will include the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs and St Louis Cardinals. The collections will later expand to incorporate teams including the Boston Red Sox. 

Mr Lauren is a lifelong baseball fan who reportedly idolised iconic Yankees players, and his love of sport has stayed with him throughout his life. 

In autumn 2018, the Yankees invited Mr Lauren to throw a ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium in honour of the company’s 50th anniversary, and Ralph Lauren created a special limited-edition Yankees collection.

This summer, the first multi-team capsule will feature Polo shirts, satin jackets, fleece sweatshirts, and caps for adults and children.

The MLB partnership marks another addition to Ralph Lauren’s sporting partnerships, including the US Olympic and Paralympic Teams; The Championships, Wimbledon; the US Open; the Australian Open; the PGA of America and the PGA Championship; the US Ryder Cup team; the US Open Golf Championship; and the American Junior Golf Association.
