The Dodgers star's airbrushed T-shirt, reading 'We Need more Black People at the Stadium,' came from South-Central L.A. streetwear brand Bricks & Wood.

The original airbrushed version of the T-shirt that Mookie Betts wore to the All-Star Game is shown on the floor of the Bricks & Wood office.

Lynch, owner and founder of Bricks & Wood, a streetwear brand created in his native South-Central Los Angeles, grew up going to Dodgers games with his grandfather. Lynch’s colleague, Malik Coney, who at one point interned for the Dodgers, also grew up a baseball fan in L.A. The pair wanted to call out what they saw as a lack of Black fans at Dodger Stadium, but also a lack of Black representation in a sport that remains overwhelmingly white.“We really want to highlight and create comfortability for the people who feel like, ‘You know what? I can’t play that sport, or I can’t go in this area, or I can’t be this type of person, because of the fact that there’s no representation of people that look like myself in it,’” Lynch said.

Oh wait,it isn’t very popular among the black community. They Love Basketball and Football. Baseball is a distant 3rd to watch much less attend. This shirt is 100% right. Dodger stadium should be at least 80% black at all times to reflect the demographics of LA which is… 7% black… wait.. what? Excuse me?! This bloke must be a recent transplant. LACity is a diverse community. LANatives grew up together and love each other regardless of our skin tone.
