MAJESTIC AND NATIONALS ANNOUNCE OFFICIAL T-SHIRT OF THE FAN CONTEST

Contest Gives Fans Opportunity to Design a Shirt for Their Favorite Team

Artists, clothing designers and fans who have wanted to design their own Washington Nationals apparel are finally getting their opportunity. Majestic Athletic (the official uniform of the Nationals), the Nationals and MLB.com are teaming up to introduce MLB’s first fan designed t-shirt contest.

Fans are invited to submit their ideas, whether a sketch, saying or work of art at nationals.com (http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/sweepstakes/y2012/was/majestic_form.jsp). Later this summer, Nationals’ fans will vote on their favorite design to become the ‘Official Nationals T-Shirt of the Fan’. The winning artist will see their work come alive, be honored on-field at a Nationals game and many other amazing prizes. Entries must be submitted by July 18^th for consideration.

“We at Majestic are excited to see how fans show off their Natitude. Between being a first place team, young stars like Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg and the festive atmosphere, there is plenty of inspiration for innovative t-shirt designs,” said Jim Pisani, Majestic Athletic President.

“With so much excitement surrounding this year’s Nationals, we’re proud to give our fans yet another opportunity to ignite their Natitude through this partnership with Majestic,” Nationals Chief Operating Officer Andrew Feffer said. “We want to encourage all Nationals fans across the country to submit unique and creative designs that show what Natitude is all about.”
