Aviator Nation is expanding its partnership with Major League Baseball, building on what began as a limited experiment into one of the brand’s most successful licensing initiatives.
Launching Thursday, the California-based label will introduce 14 team capsules, nearly doubling last year’s offering following strong demand and sell-through. The lineup includes the Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants and the Seattle Mariners.

“After heavy demand, we are excited to expand our launch to now reach more fans,” said Paige Mycoskie, founder and CEO of Aviator Nation, in a statement. “The new collection stays true to Aviator Nation’s vintage roots while capturing the spirit of each team.”
For MLB, the collaboration aligns with a broader shift in consumer behavior, as fans increasingly seek licensed products that extend beyond traditional merchandise into fashion-driven categories.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with Aviator Nation and bring this collection to more fans and markets,” said Jamie Leece, SVP of business, global consumer products, retail and XR at Major League Baseball.
The MLB expansion is part of Aviator Nation’s wider push into sports partnerships, which now includes collaborations across the NFL, College Football Playoffs, NCAA Final Four and the Kentucky Derby. The strategy positions licensing as a way to engage established fan communities while maintaining the brand’s core identity.
The collection is now available at mlbshop.com, aviatornation.com and in select ballparks nationwide.
