The 2021 All Star Game logo was released earlier this week and with it the baseball came out.
Here’s a look at the logo:
And here’s a photo of the ball itself!
This ball in my opinion looks fantastic! The multicolored stitching of navy and red is expected, those are the two main colors of the Braves. An interesting note is that the logo is the standard blue ink and not red. There’s great speculation that MLB isn’t allowing different colored logos on a ball ever again.
I believe this. Another nice note about this ball is that the logo isn’t nearly as small as the 2020 ball was. It appears in this most recent offseason the regulations for logo size eased up slightly. Even bigger than this would be cool but I personally don’t have a problem with the size it is.
For the logo itself, it has the MLB Logo, a nice big star that blends nicely into the background of elements of Truist (formerly SunTrust) Park! I also like the classic Atlanta script at the top. I think they are trying to move away from the chop logo, so it was going to be this or the Braves script.
