MLB announced a multitude of new and refreshed tributes to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Brooklyn Dodgers legend Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier.

As is tradition, players, managers and coaches will once again wear Robinson’s iconic number No. 42 on April 15. However, for the first time in history, all teams will do so in Dodger Blue jersey numbers regardless of their primary team colors. What’s more, 42 patches with team-specific uniform colors will appear on Nike uniform sleeves and on New Era caps.

Also for the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson Day, MLB has produced a powerful video that reflects on Robinson’s legacy as a Hall of Fame and trailblazing player, social justice advocate, civil rights icon and pioneer in business and broadcasting.

MLB additionally created a special logo for this Diamond Anniversary. Robinson’s digital signature sits atop the mark and is a connection to the 50th anniversary patch.

MLB.com and all 30 club sites will have extensive editorial content and coverage highlighting each team’s special connection with Robinson.

“Seventy-five years ago, Jackie Robinson took the field under incredibly challenging circumstances and unimaginable pressure. Yet through his courage, character, skill, and values, he brought well-needed change to our game and advanced the Civil Rights Movement in our country,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.

“During this special anniversary year, it is a top priority for MLB to honor Jackie’s contributions and legacy, recognize the impact Rachel has made through the Jackie Robinson Foundation, and continue to keep Jackie’s memory and values alive for today’s generation of players and fans.”

ESPN is airing a special project to honor Robinson and the 75th anniversary of his breaking the color barrier and to showcase the continued work of wife Rachel as she approaches her 100th birthday on July 19.
