Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Will Adorn The Seattle Mariners Jersey This MLB Season

Pretty sweet as you really never see this from Nintendo. How about a Nintendo Nascar?

Ewww Mariners...

So, on the Switch, we see Sony when we boot up the game and Playstation gamers will see the Nintendo logo in their games?!?!
Wild times we're living in.

Now how about they play well for once.. I'm going assuming they're going to have more eyes on them now. I've always liked Tridents though as a weapon so I always liked their logo/style.

This would be like PushSquare making an article on PlayStation renewing their EUFA world cup deal or PureXbox reporting on Xbox still sponsoring Doritos and Mountain Dew 😂

not really a sports person, but its cool nintendo is open to partnerships like that :]

Hint for Mario baseball this year? Just a thought…

This was expected for me honestly, watching any Mariners game at their park and you'll see Nintendo adds on the boards

I read on Bluesky they'll have a Switch 2cpatchnon their road jerseys, Nintendo is on the home jerseys. Which if true really should mean the Switch 2vlaunches sooner rather than later. Maybe not May but by July or August the latest.

I'm thinking Nintendo spent more to get these patches on these jerseys before the Switch 2 even launches than they spent on the entire Wii U marketing budget over 4 years.🤑

as a lifelong M's fan I can tell you this can only mean bad luck for Nintendo. They are sneakily the most pathetic team in baseball and have been for most of my adult life.

As a baseball fan, I can appreciate this move. It's a pretty cool promotion. Though Nintendo has been promoting their brand for decades at the Mariners' stadium.

To add to the legacy of the Nintendo/Mariners connection, there's not one but four Nintendo games from the Super NES/N64 days featuring Ken Griffey Jr. Anyway, very cool to see this partnership renewed.

@IronMan30 as a baseball fan myself I can honestly say. I hate Seattle based teams.

As a Mariners fan, surely Nintendo's partnership with us means we're World Series bound, right? (copium)

nintendo once had ownership control of the mariners for 24 years..back then they actually were a talented team ..they had griffey edgar they drafted arod..a year later they also had the big unit randy johnson.

@cmbaum The White Sox and Rockies exist lmao

Corporate logos on jerseys suck, but I’ll make an exception for Nintendo. Hell, if this Mariners team is fun to watch, I’d consider buying a Nintendo-sponsored Mariners jersey.

@TheColorRed Nintendo has held partial ownership of the Mariners since 1992

This story reminded me to feel bad for Oakland. The A's would rather be visiting only than play there still.

@Kyloctopus If only you knew how bad things really are

I support the Red Sox so can’t even really make jokes about the Mariners being crap.

Meanwhile we have Independence Blue Cross. 🤢

@Zeebor15 Have they thought of getting Mario to do the opening pitch?

I get these two have history, but the Cincinnati Reds would have made more sense considering their mascot is just Mario possessing a baseball.

That Switch 2 patch is not good looking in my opinion... let another designer take a shot.

@cmbaum The Mariners are my team, but I really dislike rooting for them. May get a jersey though

Anyone remember when Arsenal had Dreamcast and SEGA on their shirts and that meant they had to wear their home kit during European matches because SEGA was a slang word in Italy?

They used to own the team, back in the late 80's and most of the 90's, sold the majority of their shares during the WiiU era if I recall correctly

@Hero-of-WiiU They had Greg Biffle for a race or two back during the Wii era. Which was always odd to me that they chose him because he was the LEAST likely driver I'd expect to be playing Wii. Too bad Dick Trickle had already retired by then, because a Dick Trickle Wii car would have been epic.

@N8tiveT3ch I'm a Phillies fan, so I don't really care about the M's.

I really dislike the Switch 2 logo. Between “Nintendo Switch” being placed under the 2 making it read “2 Nintendo Switch” and the placement of the joycons beside the 2 making it asymmetrical, just no.

It would much more pleasing to my eye if one or both of these changes were made: place “Nintendo Switch” on top and/or place the 2 between the joycon graphics. Marketing isn’t rocket science!

I'm not a big sports guy, but ads on jerseys is icky to me. I imagine in 30 years you'll be hard pressed to find the sport teams actual logo, as the whole jersey is stickered up like a Nascar. More likely teams will sell naming rights, something like, "Boston Hanes Red Sox" and the logo of the socks will have a Hanes tag on them, and then the jersey is plastered with company logos.

@EriXz They fully bought the team in 1992 and sold 90% of the shares in 2016. The article describes it in detail.

Cappy and a ‘tache, that should do it…

@Kyloctopus I'm pretty sure he has already.

@IronMan30 I am a Mets fan, let the national east battle begin

@JohnnyMind Basically the baseball team was suffering hard in the old days financially. The team was up for sale but that would mean they'd move out of Seattle. A bunch of people got together to organise a group to try and keep the team in Seattle, but they needed money.
A US senator that worked on IP protection (which would include video games) couldn't find local help, so took a stab at asking Nintendo.
Nintendo in part did it as a thank you to the senator, but also to be more appealing to American audiences.
It was a bit of an uphill battle as MLB didn't like the idea of non-Americans owning teams (oh how the times have changed).
They eventually lamented and let Nintendo purchase a large percentage, but on the condition they never have a say on how the team is run.
Yamauchi didn't care for the team and never went to go watch a match.
This did allow Nintendo to make a few games, and what would probably now be very rare Nintendo DS consoles and software for the Mariners.
When Yamauchi died Nintendo still had the shares for a while, but sold it during the Wii U financial woes.

@Edwirichuu Majority owners up until 2016. Now just 10%

I'm shocked that most Nintendo fans had no idea Nintendo owned the Mariners for over 20 years and still continue to have a minority stake in the team to this day.

And for the first time in my life I am considering buying a baseball jersey. Which good payers do the Mariners have currently?

This is awesome, what a cool piece of Nintendo history coming back.

But go Tigers.

@tylerryan79 I can tell you aren’t a sports guy because this isn’t anything new at all.

The colors don't go together at all, and the away logo is goofily HUGE.

But hey, maybe this means the Griffey games will finally come to NSO.

Ick, they look terrible and out of place on their uniforms. It wouldn't be half as bad if it were in any team with red at least in their colors.

They couldn't of had the patch match the team's colors? There are a few sponsor patches for other teams that do just that but I guess Nintendo is one of those sponsors that are too good for that

Nintendo, please let this be a precursor to a new Mario Super Sluggers baseball game. One of the best (and underrated) Mario Sports title series!

Advertisements on jerseys always seemed tacky to me.
