Independent-league team to wear emoji jerseys
The next generation of baseball jerseys has arrived.
The Kalamazoo Growlers, an affiliate from the Northwoods League, will wear emoji-covered uniforms during a game this summer as part of the team's "Emojersey" night on Aug. 13.
The Growlers are asking fans to submit their favorite emojis, and vote from over 100 emojis listed on the team's website. The top 25 will appear on the Growlers' jersey for the their game against the Rockford Rivets.

It's not the first time the Growlers have asked fans to help design their jerseys. In 2014, the team won the 2014 Ballpark Digest Promotion of the Year after wearing uniforms covered entirely in fan-submitted selfies.
