NY Post: Major League Baseball teams will have advertising on their helmets during the postseason.

MLB announced Friday it reached a deal for the postseason ads through 2027 with Strauss, a German apparel company that entered the U.S. market last year.

Ads of 5-by-0.92 inches (12.7-by-2.3 centimeters) will be on each side of every helmet featuring “STRAUSS” in capital letters in white alongside the company's ostrich logo silhouetted by a red square, with an alternate color for red helmets.

We've had an ostrich or two on this site before, I bet they're happy about this news.

The rest of us ...

The words "fucking abomination" come to mind.

And if the games are on ESPN, I guarantee they will interview the person who designed them while the action is going on.

Totally disgusting. And unsurprising. What did anyone think was gonna happen as soon as MLB approved Nike logos on the unis? The slippery slope slipped to a sleeve patch. And now this. Expect a second sleeve patch next.

Or if not a second sleeve patch, then permanent year-round helmet advertising, instead of just for the post-season.

regular season caps and helmets aren't sellable yet but likely up for sale once the sleeves sell out -- 7 teams have yet to add them.



Mlb gets postseason helmets, plus any games in Europe. The slogan is gigantic.

What recourse is there?



I don't see an effective MLB boycott about to happen, but it'll be a piece of cake to boycott Strauss.

It was announced this morning and proudly so. They asked me to cover it but I had way too much other work


Sure, but that seems to imply that they're anxious to introduce this to their corporate sponsors but less so to involve their individual fans.

I look forward to being thoroughly disgusted by these when the Mets are wearing them this October.

I could see it already. The minors are gonna wear the helmet ads. Then there'll be a bullshit made up "poll" claiming that the fans love it. And then, voila, permanent year-round helmet advertising in the majors.

They'll look like Premier League Jerseys before long.



It always amazes me how willing MLB is to do stupid things to turn a buck.



Looks like Strauss is the German version of Carhartt work wear. Totally baseball-related.

The NFL bans unauthorized ads/images. The Nike swoop is on all the uniforms, I believe. I'm pretty sure the NFL is taking in money for that.
