SustainU, a producer of apparel made from 100 percent recycled materials, announced on Thursday its licensed partnership with Major League Baseball for the 2016 season.

The MLB by SustainU line represents teams from the National and American Leagues and consists of fashion and outdoor adventure-inspired graphics. The collection aims to resonate with a new generation of fans that advocate sustainability, outdoor conversation and related social values.
 
"We are so proud to launch our new line of products with Major League Baseball," said Chris Yura, founder and CEO of SustainU. "We represent American Craftsmanship, innovation and localized production. This pairs perfectly with America's Pastime and we're excited to showcase our collection online and in stadiums around the country."
