Jackie Robinson helped break down the racial barrier in Major League Baseball 70 years ago. To celebrate the progress he helped usher into professional sports, every player will wear the number 42 on their uniforms tomorrow on the anniversary of Robinson's first game. In honor of Robinson's contribution to the game, Nike's made "Equality" T-shirts with the number 42 on the back that they're giving to their athletes.
Nike made headlines earlier this year with its "Equality" campaign that starred LeBron James and Serena Williams that promoted diversity and acceptance, in wake of the controversy that surrounded this year's NBA All-Star Game, due to North Carolina's Bathroom Bill.
Get a look at the T-shirts, packaging, and Nike's statement for Jackie Robinson Day below.
