AC Milan and the New York Yankees have agreed a partnership to sell merchandise at each other’s stadiums. The Bronx Bombers have already created a store inside Yankee Stadium dedicated to Milan items. This merchandise includes jerseys, lifestyle collections, vintage items, as well as collaboration pieces featuring both teams.

The Yankees are selling these items throughout the baseball club’s run through the playoffs this fall. Although Yankee merchandise is not quite available inside the San Siro, these products will be available soon.

“Getting on this journey alongside the New York Yankees, an icon of sport at a global level, is a source of great pride for us,” claimed Casper Stylsvig, Chief Revenue Officer of AC Milan.

“This collaboration is testament to our Club’s desire to be a point of reference both on and off the pitch, fostering exchange between near and distant worlds, and bringing AC Milan to new heights on its path of growth.”

Yankees Senior VP Tony Bruno joined in on Stylsvig’s enthusiasm. “Aligning the Yankees with AC Milan — a club internationally recognized and beloved for its storied history of domestic and European success — unites two entities that strive to represent the best in sporting achievement,” proclaimed Bruno.

“Additionally, creating a strong association between the two teams perfectly complements our desire to engage both sports fans and style-minded consumers in markets around the world.”

Yankees and Milan partnership

The collaboration may seem a bit random to some. Yet, back in August, the Yankees acquired a stake in the Italian club through RedBird Capital Partners.

Also, AC Milan recently agreed a partnership with the YES Network. The network, owned by the Yankees, rebroadcasts Milan matches.

The Italian giants also visited New York just last week. The club hosted fan events at Puma’s store on 5th avenue and the famous 40/40 club in Manhattan. 

Milan defender Alessandro Florenzi recently toured Yankee Stadium as well. The Italy international even swapped jerseys with Yankee manager Aaron Boone during the visit.
