Rays Debut the ‘BRayser’

For whatever reason, Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon thinks it’s a good idea for his team to have fashion-themed road trips.  The picture above are the Rays new “BRaysers“, which is a combination of the words “Ray” and “Blazer.”  Clever, eh?  Apparently, the fashion work was done by fashion designer Julia Alarcon with the help of Rays TV broadcaster Todd Kalas, who was also sporting a BRayser on Tuesday night.  Personally, I’d prefer to be given a rookie hazing haircut.  For whatever reason, Maddon is thrilled with the hideous jackets:

The BRaysers are in, they’re fabulous, they met with everybody’s approval,” Maddon said. “We’re going to wear them on this trip – the team BRayser.”

Am I the only one who doesn’t get it?  maybe more Rays BRayser photos will help you understand.  I had no luck.
