Altoona Curve introduce Jabba the Hutt jerseys for Star Wars night

Star Wars jerseys have become quite the popular promotion among minor-league clubs. Last season, we saw at least four teams wear uniforms inspired by characters who existed a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

With the usual suspects already getting their own jerseys, the Altoona Curve decided to take a different approach to Star Wars night.

Jabba the Hutt is most certainly an evil character, and, yet, he’s also one of the most iconic and beloved creatures among Star Wars fans. While Jabba’s gross tongue isn’t included on the jersey, the drool is a nice touch.

Following the game, the uniforms will be auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting the St. Vincent De Paul Society Soup Kitchen. There will also be a lightsaber battle during the post-game fireworks show.

There’s currently no word on whether Salacious Crumb will make an appearance to laugh at the losing team as they exit the field.
