They aren’t the Stud Muffins, but we’ll have to settle: On June 4th, the Fightins will be wearing those Chewbacca jerseys above in the seemingly annual “Star Wars night” game. Different Star Wars characters will be in attendance, and the whole thing will end the way all baseball games should: Explosions. The post-game celebration will feature “Mega Blast 9,” what the Fightins are calling “the largest fireworks show in stadium history, set to music from the Star Wars films.” As per usual, the game worn jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
I’m no uni critic Dan Fuller, but the Chewy unis this year are at least better than the Iron Pigs’ Star Wars get-ups.
