The United States Playing Card Company, makers of Bicycle Playing Cards, has announced the launch of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Playing Card Deck.
The cards feature 24 different logos from Negro Leagues teams, as well as four exclusive photographs of NLB Championship Teams.
Bicycle Playing Cards has partnered with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum by donating $0.15 per deck sold.
“The mission of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is to help preserve the rich history of African American baseball and we are excited that Bicycle® has developed this deck to support our cause,” said Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. “With partnerships like this, we will be able to share this history with generations to come.”
Roy Gifford, USPC vice president of marketing added that the partnership with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, “not only gave us access to the iconic logos and photos from the Negro Leagues archives to create a beautiful deck of cards, but more importantly it allowed us to support an organization who is protecting the amazing story of the Negro Baseball Leagues.”
