Several weeks ago, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pirates debuted a new version of the famous Jolly Roger logo. In this modified logo, his patented red bandana is worn over his face as a mask to promote safe social health practices. In response to fans asking if the logo was available on official team merchandise, today the Pirates unveiled a new T-shirt design featuring the modified logo. The T-shirt is now available for purchase online, and all net proceeds will directly benefit Pirates Charities’ local COVID-19 relief efforts.

A limited number of T-shirts are available now in a variety of sizes S – XXL for $25, plus shipping, at pirates.com/raiseitTEE. The T-Shirt design is black with a large “Safety Jolly Roger” logo on the chest, and also includes the popular #RaiseIt hashtag, the hashtag used on social media after each Pirates win.

Since March, Pirates Charities has worked to support frontline workers and local non-profit groups that are helping those most in need during the pandemic. The Pirates’ charitable arm has donated funds to organizations such as the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, hosted food distribution events, delivered boxed lunches to local shelters, and more. In addition, Pirates Charities donated $100,000 to the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Vaccine Research, which is working to develop a vaccine for the COVID-19 virus. Pirates Charities is committed to continuing these efforts moving forward, as well as honoring and supporting those health and community workers on the front lines of this crisis.
