Recently, the King & Bay team had the unique honour of designing a custom lining to celebrate Buck's retirement from 50 years in Major League Baseball. It was a fabulous creative process.
![]() | The Challenge: Tell The Tale of 50 Years of MLB History on a Jacket LiningBuck Martinez is an MLB legend. Over the course of his baseball career he has been a player, a manager and a broadcaster.
For Buck's final 'Behind The Plate' event, we wanted to design a custom jacket lining that told the story of his career in a very unique way. It was an interesting creative process, to say the least! In the end, we were successful. This special lining (section shown here) integrates hundreds of names of individuals whose paths Buck crossed over the years. If you were lucky enough to have Buck show you the inside of his jacket, you'd be able to read his history like a book. Thank you for the challenge, buck. |
