The First Ever

Gold MLB
Logoman

Introduced in 2025, the Gold MLB Logoman is worn by the previous season’s MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year winners, with Ohtani’s becoming the first ever worn in an official MLB game when the Tokyo Series opened the 2025 season.

$11 Million

Two Gold Logoman patches removed from jerseys Ohtani wore later became the centerpieces of a one-of-one card that sold for $11 million, making it the third-highest public trading-card sale ever recorded.

The historically first Gold Logoman remains exactly where Ohtani wore it: intact on the complete jersey from his first MLB game in Japan.

The Patches That
Place It in History

Every patch on the jersey connects it to a specific moment, place, and season that cannot be recreated.

2025 MLB World Tour Tokyo Series patch

2025 Tokyo Series

Created for the two-game MLB Tokyo Series, this patch identifies the jersey with Ohtani’s first official Major League game in Japan and the most watched game in Japanese history.

Fernando 34

The Dodgers wore the Fernando Valenzuela No. 34 memorial patch throughout the 2025 season in honor of one of the most beloved players in franchise history.

Alongside the Gold MLB Logoman, OHTANI, and number 17, these patches preserve the complete visual identity of Ohtani’s historic night at the Tokyo Dome.

Signed In His Own Hand

Signed and inscribed number 17 from the back of the jersey

Ohtani personally signed the jersey in kanji and added multiple inscriptions in English, documenting the player, game, date, use, and MVP season directly on the uniform.

For an artifact tied so closely to Ohtani’s return to Japan, the Kanji signature creates an especially meaningful connection to the country where his professional story began.

Tokyo, March 18, 2025

A Historic Night
in Ohtani’s Hometown

More than 25 million people in Japan tuned in to watch Ohtani’s historic return home, where he took the field at the Tokyo Dome for his first official MLB game in Japan, recorded his first hit of the 2025 season, and began what would become a back-to-back MVP campaign and back-to-back World Series wins.
