Fashion Week: Tuxedos


I never "got" the tuxedo t-shirt. Don't' get me wrong, the real tux is still the utmost in men's formal fashion, it's just the "ironic" t-shirt I can't stand. But that hasn't stopped thousands of people finding it hilarious and perpetuating the market for them.

Turns out the sports world is in on the joke too. Above you see the horrifying jersey the Lehigh Valley IronPigs wore on "Wedding Night" (Man, minor leagues are a joke). However, they weren't breaking any new ground as several other minor league teams have done this before, like hockey's Alaska Aces, Grand Rapids Griffins, and Quad City Mallards. Even another local team, the ECHL's Reading Royals, have gotten in on the tuxedo action. Here's some asshole wearing a tuxedo biking jersey!

At least we can take solace knowing that these kind of shenanigans are kept hidden in lesser known minor leagues and not the real pro leagues where only teams like the San Diego Padres wear hideous specialty jerseys.
