Design Approach
Unrefined and unpredictable, the 2025 MLB Rookie ICONs collection captures the raw energy of baseball’s newest stars. This year’s design draws inspiration from the explosive, gritty, and fearless nature of rookies on the rise — building on the artistic foundations of the 2023 Rookie set with even more character, color, and expressive splatter.
If technique is the shared backbone of both athletes and artists, Rookie ICONs serves as a visual tribute to that connection. Bold brushwork, layered textures, and gestural elements mirror the unpolished brilliance of players making their mark on the game.
Rainbow Inserts elevate the visual language with vivid, ink-blotted canvases that burst with color — while the backs of the cards explore the contrast between darkness and discovery, featuring monochromatic bases overtaken by vibrant washes.
Meanwhile, Legacy Inserts — each honoring a former Rookie of the Year — lean into the feel of timeless artistry. These portraits are rendered with a watercolor-like patience and maturity, reflecting careers that have fully developed and left a permanent imprint on the record books.
This set doesn’t just celebrate rising talent — it paints their story.
