Nike's Cooperstown Collection Brings Back Classic MLB Jerseys
Baseball season is in full swing, and so are the new apparel drops for the 2026 MLB season. As the league's official apparel sponsor, Nike is using its access and archives to celebrate baseball's rich tradition through classic jerseys.
The first wave of releases from Nike's Cooperstown Collection celebrates nine teams. Whether you are a fan from the mid or late 20th century, there are options for you. Below is a breakdown of the jerseys currently available at Fanatics.
Chicago White Sox
Plenty of fanbases across two different sports try to claim Bo Jackson's legacy, but Chicago White Sox fans can best represent the two-sport icon by wearing his cream jersey with pinstripes. The authentic throwback jersey is available for $175 in adult sizes at Fanatics.
Cincinnati Reds
The only thing smoother than Ken Griffey Jr.'s batting swing was his uniform history. Griffey's Cincinnati Reds jersey is back and better than ever, featuring the Vapor Premier chassis, made with breathable, high-performance fabric that enhances mobility and moisture management. The jersey is available for $175 in adult sizes, but is selling out fast at Fanatics.
Detroit Tigers
Detroit Tigers shortstop Alan Trammell is getting the love he deserves. The retro jersey remains true to the original with a grey base and navy, orange, and white detailing. Its midweight feel delivers a comfortable and cool fit. Shoppers can buy the jersey for $175 in larger adult sizes at Fanatics.
Milwaukee Brewers
Inspired by the Milwaukee Brewers' on-field look, the Nike Cooperstown Collection jersey is a genuine piece of retro gear. Its powder-blue base, complete with navy and gold detailing, is an ode to one of baseball's cleanest looks. Fans can buy the jersey for $175 in adult sizes at Fanatics.
New York Mets

New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra was the heart and soul of the Bronx Bombers in their heyday. Fans celebrate one of baseball's most colorful personalities while rocking a timeless look. Shoppers can buy the jersey for $175 in larger adult sizes at Fanatics.
San Diego Padres
Thankfully, the San Diego Padres returned to wearing brown and gold in recent years. However, that does not take away from the original retro look. Padres fans can buy Nike's Cooperstown collection jersey for $175 in larger adult sizes at Fanatics.
