There is something about a baseball tee that makes any design look like it belongs on a team. All Baseball 3/4 Sleeve takes the full Orange Liar roster and suits them up in classic ballpark style, crisp white bodies with contrasting sleeves, so every character looks like he is waiting for his name to be called over the stadium speakers. The lineup is enthusiastic. The fundamentals, less so.
On the mound and behind the plate
Every team needs a pitcher who believes in himself, and the Snakeoil Salesman has more confidence than the entire bullpen, that round orange snake face grinning above his blue collar like he just promised a no-hitter. His teammate with the doubled S hangs the same smile over the word Ssalvation, the team chaplain nobody asked for. Crime Boss crouches behind the plate as the catcher, calling every sign with that enormous rainbow swirl eye, and nobody on the field is quite sure which direction he is looking.
The outfield and the dugout
Out in left field, The Swamp stands with his long duck bill, his lizard tail and a puff of fire escaping his beak, entirely unaware a ball is headed his way. The Democracy Menace plays center with his hands on his hips in those loud orange trousers, and Lyin' King patrols right field in his dark glasses, insisting he made the catch. Over in the dugout, Sir Stinksalot sits in his navy suit with his striped tail fanned out, Stinky dozes with his eyes half shut, and Sir Complains a Lot has opinions about the umpire. The vulture from Leaders Lead But Vultures Feed perches on the railing, watching the snack stand with great interest.
For the fan who keeps score
This collection is for the woman who keeps score in pencil, knows every rule and still thinks the seventh inning stretch is the best part of the game. She loves a good team, a good rivalry and a good laugh from the cheap seats. Picture her at the ballpark in Drink Up, spiral-eyed donkey on her chest, raising a cup of lemonade while the family behind her reads the shirt and loses it. Some rosters win championships. This one mostly wins the crowd, and the donkey is already taking a bow.
