The Black Keys recently sponsored a childhood little league baseball team back in 2013. Now the Keys are selling shirts to help out an entire league.
MTV reported that the band started selling shirts on Monday March 10th, at TheBlackKeys.com. All of the profits from the t-shirts will be going toward an entire West Akron Baseball League.
The t-shirt were designed by the brother of the drummer of the Black Keys Patrick Carney along with the creative director for the Black Keys Michael, Billboard reported.
The funds that are raised will go towards a variety of projects including keeping registration fees low, buying new uniforms and replacing older equipment. The old equipment will be donated to communities in Akron that don't have the money to get new equipment.
Carney spoke about why this was a special cause for the band. "Dan [Auerbach] and I played little league when we were kids before we got into music, it was a really positive hobby that kept us from sitting around watching TV. We are proud to be sponsoring W.A.B.L to hopefully offset some of the leagues expenses and get more kids outside having fun," said Carney.
