PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates will commemorate the life of rapper Mac Miller during their series vs. the Chicago White Sox at PNC Park, with a new item for purchase.

The Pirates announced a limited edition Mac Miller x Pirates shirt that they will make available for fans on July 19 during Yinzerpalooza weekend, where they honor the best of Pittsburgh.

A portion of the proceeds from the shirt purchase will benefit the Mac Miller Fund, which supports music and aritisic endeavors of those from underserved neighborhoods, plus helps those 27 and under in the music industry with substance-abuse issues.

The t-shirt is black, with a yellow Pirates 'P' logo in front and then a yin-and-yang symbol in black and yellow above in the left chest area.

There is an even bigger yin-and-yang in black and yellow on the back of the t-shirt, with the lyrics, "Let me show the world just where my city at," which surround the symbol, along with 'Mac Miller x Pirates', as well.

Those lyrics come from his song, "Smile Back" off the album "Blue Slide Park", named after the Blue Slide Playground, which is a part of Frick Park, located in the Squirrel Hill South neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh.

The Pirates will also give out a Mac Miller bobblehead, which shows Miller with a black hat with the "yin and yang" symbol in black and gold and a white Pirates jersey, with the number 412, the area code for Pittsburgh, plus the words "Most Dope" tattooed on his fingers."

It also has a button that plays his famous single, "Knock Knock", near his feet on the bobblehead.

Miller loved the Pirates and had the Pirates "P" tattooed on his right hand. He also came out and threw the first pitch on Sept. 16, 2015.
