What does Ripstop fabric have to do with Black baseball? Ripstop is a durable and lightweight material created for the military during WWII.
Our designer Rob-o was drawn to it as the main storyteller because the fabric had to represent the resilience and style of these players. In the 1900s, these all-stars barnstormed across the country spreading the word of black baseball. Ripstop pushes this narrative into our current environment as we face unrelenting obstacles. Never give up and always forward!
