We’ve taken a bit of a break from bringing you all of the ridiculous alternate jerseys that minor league teams will wear this season, but we felt the need to call attention to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (high-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs) and their Christmas Vacation jerseys.
Find out what these are for and more, in our promo schedule announcement #MBpelicans http://t.co/jCzbBzcIiS pic.twitter.com/qtbrcjc3ic

In case you’re curious – yes, that is a Santa Claus outfit wrapped in Christmas lights. Here are the full details of the Pelicans’ “Christmas Vacation in July” night on July 26th.
The 2015 promotional schedule is chock-full of a variety of new theme nights. July 26 is “Christmas Vacation in July” and gives a National Lampoon twist to the popular minor league baseball promotion of Christmas in July. The night includes Christmas-light-wrapped ugly sweater jerseys, a Cousin Eddie-style alpine hat giveaway for the first 1,000 fans, and Christmas-themed ballpark decorations. Fans can also bring unwrapped toys to donate to the Salvation Army.
Sometimes, I get jealous of my local team not doing anything this crazy.
