Aaron Judge Officially Signs With Jordan Brand

Jordan Brand announces the signing of New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge.
In this story:

After several months of speculation, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has officially signed a footwear and apparel deal with Jordan Brand. Judge began unofficially representing Jumpman last year and has exclusively worn the brand this season.

Judge continues to follow in the footsteps of another Yankees captain, Derek Jeter. Similar to Jeter, Judge started his professional career with a different brand before eventually earning the elite honor of representing Jordan Brand on the baseball field.

Jordan Brand officially welcomed Judge to its MLB roster with social media posts showing the slugger modeling Jumpman gear. On Instagram, Jordan Brand captioned its post, "The captain of the New York Yankees, @thejudge44 continues to add titles to his name as a member of the Jordan Family."

Judge becomes the fifth MLB player to officially represent Jordan Brand on the field. Others include San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado, Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts, Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Miami Marlins centerfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr.

Jordan Brand has not yet launched any gear for Judge to the public. As we cross our fingers for some Judge apparel and footwear, we will happily enjoy watching the American League homerun king wear fire Jumpman cleats and performance gear on the field.
