Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani unveils own logo

Shohei Ohtani continued to solidify himself as a superstar on Monday, revealing his very own personal logo.

Ohtani, who signed a 10-year, $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers in December, released the logo in collaboration with New Balance. It features a black-and-white depiction of Ohtani rounding first base and will be used on multiple projects throughout the 2024 season.

"To finally reveal this special logo that I've worked closely on is truly an exciting moment for me," Ohtani said in a statement. "It is a visual representation of my journey in baseball and I am excited to share it with the world."

After signing with New Balance last year, Ohtani has headlined the company's "We Got Now" campaign, which is centered around "the effortless confidence that comes from those bold enough to embrace the present and the possibility of 'the now,' particularly in the more intimate moments -- not just on the world's biggest stages."

"'We Got Now' celebrates the spirit of the present moment, something that I feel passionate about in my career and in my life," Ohtani said last March. "When we are living in a world that's future-focused and increasingly uncertain, now is everything."

Ohtani, 29, was named American League MVP for the second time in his career last season. He hit .304 with 44 home runs and 95 RBIs in 135 games while also going 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA across 23 starts for the Los Angeles Angels.

Due to a right elbow injury, Ohtani will not pitch in 2024.

The Dodgers open their regular season against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday in Seoul, South Korea.
