The formula of “Hey, what does internet kids like? ... OKAY PUT THAT ON OUR UNIFORMS” has served obscure baseball teams pretty well. Not even just baseball. But goddammit, Kalamazoo Growlers of the Northwoods League, the selfie jersey is too far:
Predicting the next dumb internet-themed promotional baseball jersey
Should have seen the selfie jersey coming.

— Kalamazoo Growlers (@kzoogrowlers) July 24, 2014 The interactive element of the promotion is cool, but still, it makes my hair stand on end.
With this in mind, let’s go ahead and predict the next dumb HEY LET’S PUT SOMETHING THE INTERNET LIKES ON IT baseball jersey promotion:
- Doge jerseys: Somehow, this doesn’t appear to exist yet, at least not in baseball.
- Snapchat jerseys: The name and number disappear after a few seconds.
-
- A jersey that just has a whole listicle about Cats Who Just Can’t Right Now printed on the front
- Aliens guy jerseys
- A jersey that is somehow a flat circle
- JerseyRoulette: Names and numbers change randomly. Names and numbers are sometimes strangers’ genitalia.
- Everything from the neck down, including a print of the hands:
- The normal jersey colors, just with the “Valencia” Instagram filter applied
- Pornhub jersey
- My Little Baseball Jersey
More ideas welcome. The more/worse we think of, the more baseball promotions people will be like “damn, someone already thought of that.”
