TENNIS.com's Kamakshi Tandon noted Roger Federer has gained control of the "RF logo that has been associated with his clothing for most of his career." He has not used the logo "since switching clothing companies two years ago" from Nike to Uniqlo, as the logo "was still licensed to" Nike. Neither Federer nor Uniqlo have indicated "whether they plan to use the logo now [that] it has been authorized" (TENNIS.com, 3/10).
SHOW SOME HUSTLE: Boulevard Brewing Co. has created a "new limited-release beer in collaboration" with Royals 2B Whit Merrifield and 3B Hunter Dozier. The beer, called Hustle Up!, will be "available in grocery and liquor stores throughout the Royals viewership area" beginning this week. As part of the deal, Charlie Hustle Clothing Co. created two T-shirts -- Two Hit Whit and Bull Dozier -- with a "portion of the proceeds going to charity" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 3/10).
STAYING TOGETHER: St. Joseph's Univ. signed a multiyear extension with apparel provider Nike. The deal will continue to see Nike outfit all 20 of the school's D-I athletic teams (St. Joseph's).
