Pic: Baseball team create classy Game of Thrones inspired jersey

Baseball season is coming

A North Carolina minor-league baseball team are planning ‘Game of Thrones’ night, and have created a classy uniform for the occasion.

Fans of the popular HBO show are probably thinking that a ‘Game of Thrones’ night could involve any number of unsavoury things, such as, (spoiler alert for those yet to see the show) as mass murder, incest or regicide.

Which is this classy number.

‘Rather than throw the Bulls into a jersey garnered with faux chain mail’ it says on team’s website, ‘this jersey is designed as a modern day, real-world version of how a prominent Game of Thrones family might dress should they find themselves playing baseball. We wanted it to be able to work as a legitimate alternate jersey for the Bulls’.

If the characters on Game of Thrones weren’t too busy being fictional and killing each other, they probably would wear something like this for a game of baseball.

Hat-tip Durham Bulls.
