THE CULTURE OF GREATNESS

We celebrate the ground breakers, the difference makers, and those whose struggle for greatness is the unending fight at the root of every human triumph. We celebrate the Culture of Greatness that reaches far beyond the field of play. At Roots of Fight we are proud to share the stories of these Icons who became revolutionaries. Each created and defined their own version of greatness. They transcended sport and art to shape popular culture on a global scale. Their contributions are still resonating decades later with new meaning, touching and inspiring people and change for generations. We exist to keep their spirit alive, passing the torch from generation to generation and evangelizing inspiration all over the world.

The Centennial

1920 - 100 years ago, a group of 8 black baseball owners came together to forge a future for their community. From this meeting came the birth of the National Negro League - the first successful, organized professional Black Baseball League. Their passion for the game was boundless and they were not going to wait for change to come.

We worked closely with World Series champion, Cy Young Award winner and one of the famed ‘Black Aces’, CC Sabathia to bring you this powerful collaboration. CC coordinated the program and acted as Creative Director. We partnered with the Major League Baseball Players Association, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and our partners at Jackie Robinson's family to make this collection come to life.

Proceeds from all sales will benefit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum’s efforts to preserve and celebrate the rich history of African American baseball and its significance in the social advancement of America at large. Furthermore, when legendary former players are featured in the collection, proceeds will also go directly to them or their estates.

Great job on the concept. I appreciate the respect and celebration being given to The Negro Leagues. I’m also pleased to see so many players around MLB wearing the T’s during pregame. It’s hot and humid in NY so I haven’t wore my hoody yet but that’s fine because it’s a fall classic that’s perfect to wear during the “Fall Classic”! Will you do any other styles and colors? Will you restock the shorts?
