Licensing question
Is Japanese Professional Baseball similar to MLB in terms of needing to become a licensee before making products bearing JPB team marks? If so, can you provide the contact information? Thank you.

My understanding was that one needed permission separately from each of the teams to create licenced products. That was what I had heard several years ago, anyway. Then general concensus from those who had tried to make something as simple as a T-shirt has been that the hastle wasn't worth it. Perhaps that's why none of the teams sell official T-shirts at the local department store.
You may want to ask The YakyuShop to see that they've done to sell merchandise.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
