Licensing

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM) operates a dynamic licensing program featuring authentic IP marks and retro logos of the various Negro Leagues and the teams which played in them to help promote awareness of the Negro Leagues history and its impact on American society.

The NLBM has granted licenses to several companies nationally and internationally to create everything from baseball caps, jerseys, shirts, jackets, blankets, coffee mugs, and other items using the licensed marks and related properties. Many of these products are sold in the Extra Inning Museum Store and at other retail stores. All companies pay a royalty, based on a percentage of their sales, to the NLBM.
