ATLANTA –– At a
celebration at Turner Field, Mizuno
and the Atlanta Braves announced a long-term partnership that will include the
opening of a one-of-a-kind Mizuno Experience Center in The Battery Atlanta.
The agreement makes Mizuno
the Official Baseball Gear Partner of the Atlanta Braves, reaching beyond
on-the-field engagement opportunities with the team and spreading into fan
activities and community investments throughout Atlanta and the Southeast.
As the Official Baseball
Gear Partner of the Atlanta Braves, Mizuno also will be pioneering multiple
first-of-its-kind baseball glove kiosks inside SunTrust Park where fans can
check out Mizuno baseball gloves to catch foul balls during the game. Fans will
be able to return the gloves at no cost or purchase them at the end of the
game.
“Mizuno has long been the
model for innovation and excellence, both in its approach to its craft and in
equipment the company produces,” said Derek
Schiller, Atlanta Braves president, business. “As we prepare to open a new
chapter at SunTrust Park and The Battery Atlanta, we were looking to build and
grow partnerships with companies that shared our vision and values.
"Mizuno’s
commitment to success matches our own, and we’re excited for how this
partnership will enhance the fan experience beginning in 2017.”
