SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, January 4, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Knockaround announced today a licensing agreement with global digital sports platform, Fanatics, and Major League Baseball to bring Knockaround’s signature style and creatively designed, affordable sunglasses to baseball fans everywhere.

Through this partnership, Knockaround will design custom sunglasses eventually for all MLB teams, with the expectation that the first eight team sunglasses will launch by the 2023 All-Star Game.

“The connection between Knockaround and baseball is strong. As a San Diego lifestyle brand, we have a passion for America’s national pastime and look forward to bringing the Knockaround vibe to baseball fans in a first-class way,” said Jeffrey R.

Knockaround plans to announce the first wave of eight teams with custom Knockaround sunglasses in early 2023.
