Eyesore Uniforms Given the Deep Six
December 1, 2062, Marshall Islands/Lake City – Sixty-eight years is apparently enough. Marie Manning, Director of the Bikini Krill’s Public Propaganda Team has announced the funding has been authorized that will give the franchise in the Charlie Pegler A-Level league a face lift of sorts. The club will stay in place and retain their name, but will see a fresh look both on the field and … well … on the field.
Manning Says Team
"Going To Look Good"
“I’m really excited to reveal the new-look for the Limes,” Manning said as Benji Amberman, one of the teams more popular prospects modeled a new uniform that replaces what has been labeled “garish” with a cleaner, more traditional look. In addition, the team’s logo has been spruced up to give the team something that at least suggests baseball rather than, well, just citrus.
Amberman expressed excitement at the uniforms. “To be honest, while I love the threads, I’m hoping to be in Kamloops before too long.” Amberman’s struggles in Lime City are rumored to be a reason for that change, as some players have complained that the neon green colors of the old uniforms were distracting. “If nothing else, they burned the eyes of several fans,” Manning said, expressly avoiding answering questions about the suggestion that the team had to cough up insurance money to pay for retinal surgery for three fans who apparently got too close to the field one game.

Ballpark to Be Revamped
Manning also noted that the club has signed work orders to modify various aspects of the field—known in the city as The Looney Bin—in order to be more attractive to fans. “There’s nothing more beautiful than a baseball field,” she said, “and nothing more relaxing than going to a minor league park on a summer night.” She noted that the park’s dimensions would be expanded, and several seats redesigned to give better lines of sight, as well as to take advantage of the naturally rolling hills out beyond what were originally the park’s fences. In the past, the Looney Bin has been geared toward offensive players, but the expectation is that it will play more toward a neutral mindset—something Manning noted might help the team get a better read on their player’s performances. “Minor League stats are always a tough storybook, right?” she said.

Fans Hope Revamp Revitalizes
“They do look nice,” said Hal Mackey, a longtime season ticket holder when he saw the uniforms. “It will be nice to be able to leave the polarized glasses at home. And I gotta admit the park needed a little spritzing up. But what I’d really like to see is the Limes winning again. That always makes going to games a lot more fun.”
Unfortunately, after a brief surge a few seasons back, Mackey and his cohort Lime faithful have had to sit through two straight less than stellar seasons, leaving everyone in town to assume that they will be right back to the bad old days in which the team hadn’t seen postseason play for thirteen straight seasons. “A helluva streak,” Mackey said.
