Jordan Brand continues to make headlines on the roster front. Fresh off welcoming Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to the family earlier this week, the Jumpman now signs an MLB superstar in Aaron Judge. The 5-time All-Star has been wearing the Jumpman on the diamond recently, fueling rumors that he’d be signing an endorsement deal.
Judge follows in the footsteps of fellow New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter, the first baseball player signed to Jordan Brand. Since Jeter paved the way, the brand has grown its MLB roster to include stars like Mookie Betts, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Manny Machado. New York fans can only hope this will encourage Jordan Brand to reintroduce the “Re2pect” line that produced several Yankees-themed apparel and sneaker releases.
