NPB Japan Tohoku Green Rakuten Eagles 2015 Takero Okajima Baseball Jersey

Officially licensed Majestic Japan Tohoku Rakuten Eagles away jersey issued during the 2015 season. Its significance: TOHOKU GREEN was the Eagles’ summer limited special uniform campaign. The green color was chosen around the idea of Tokiwa-iro / 常盤色, an evergreen color symbolizing the wish that Tohoku’s greenery remain unchanged and beautiful, as well as hopes for Tohoku’s recovery, the preservation of nature, and the Eagles becoming a consistently winning team. The sleeve patch’s six leaves represent the six prefectures of Tohoku, with the message “SIX LEAVES ONE DREAM.” Takero Okajima (often translated as Goro Okajima) was a cornerstone of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles for 14 seasons (2012–2025), originally joining as a fourth-round draft pick and catcher.
