Japanese fashion powerhouse Uniqlo is reportedly looking to sign a historic partnership deal with MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers, where baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani currently plays.
According to media reports, Uniqlo — a subsidiary of major Japanese retail company Fast Retailing — will see the firm become Dodger Stadium’s official field presenting partner, marking the first time the stadium will have a sponsorship agreement since it opened in 1962. Uniqlo did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation.
The deal would grant the company the rights to rename the playing field to “Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium.” The name of the stadium itself, located in Los Angeles’ Chavez Ravine, will be retained.
