According to Shawn Denlein, Yokohama director of sales, Consumer Products, “The Home Team Pride jersey campaign is something we have rolled out in our NFL and NBA sponsorships in the past. It generates excitement with dealers and fans, ultimately leading to sales. We look forward to a very successful campaign.” 

In addition to the “Home Team Pride” jersey promotion, Yokohama’s sponsorship agreement with the Angels includes a combination of signage in the Angel Stadium outfield and behind home plate, which is visible on over 70 home games shown in the Los Angeles market, plus up to nine (9) nationwide.
