BART and the Oakland Ballers to partner for baseball team’s inaugural season; BART logo to appear on jerseys

On Friday, March 1, BART and the Oakland Ballers, the Town’s newest professional baseball team, announced a partnership ahead of the team’s inaugural season.  

The iconic BART logo will grace the right sleeve of the Ballers’ 2024 season jerseys along with the logo of AAA, the 2024 jersey sponsors. The backs of the jerseys will also prominently feature the word “Oakland," which the team said is a symbol of their “commitment to always carry Oakland on its back." 

“BART has a long history of carrying fans to their favorite Bay Area sporting events, and we’re looking forward to welcoming the Ballers to Oakland,” said David Martindale, BART Director of Marketing and Research. “We at BART are proud to provide safe, clean and reliable train service to the Bay Area and can’t wait to see the Ballers take the field with the BART logo on their sleeves. I’m sure these jerseys will be the hottest selling merch of the summer, and I’m looking forward to buying my own as soon as I can.” 

The Ballers will be the first West Coast franchise in the historic Pioneer League. The season will kick off this spring. The team will play their inaugural season at Raimondi Park, a historic Oakland ballpark that is easily accessible by BART! The park is about 0.8 miles from the station and accessible by multiple AC Transit routes.  

The official Oakland Ballers jerseys were designed by Dustin O. Canalin, who also designed the Ballers’ logo.  

The jerseys will be available for purchase at oaklandish.com. Tickets are available now for the Ballers’ forthcoming season at oaklandballers.com.
