New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge added a ring to his finger and “titles to his name,” at least in Friday’s announcement that he’s joined Jordan Brand’s Jumpman.
Judge did his best Michael Jordan impression, donning a ring with a pensive look to recreate the NBA legend’s iconic “six rings” portrait photograph in part of the ad materials.

“All Rise for Air Judge,” the Instagram announcement said. “The captain of the New York Yankees, @thejudge44 continues to add titles to his name as a member of the Jordan Family.”
Judge has worn Jordan Brand gear on the field in the past, including this season, and now officially joins MLB stars Manny Machado, Mookie Betts, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as partners. Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts signed a deal with Jordan Brand that was announced Monday.
According to Complex, Judge acknowledged he was a sneaker free agent in June 2022 after having been previously signed with Adidas since 2018.
Hall of Famer Derek Jeter is also a Jordan Brand-sponsored athlete and remains with the brand in his post-playing days.
Judge, who is batting .281 with 22 home runs, is in the first season of a nine-year, $360 million deal.
