In 20 years, emojis will probably replace letters and words, and we’ll be reading entire books comprised of emojis. But until that happens, these baseball jerseys will do.

The Class-A Tigers affiliate West Michigan Whitecaps (no relation to the MLS team in Vancouver) will hold a “Social Media Night” on Thursday. To celebrate the occasion, the team will wear emoji uniforms because minor league teams know what it takes to be straight 🔥 with their uniform games.

This won’t be the first time that a team will don emojis on its uniform. The Kalamazoo Growlers actually gave fans an opportunity to vote for their favorite emojis to appear on uniforms last season.

The Whitecaps are not giving their fans such a choice. That’s OK because the Whitecaps sold this burger to actual people in 2009, proving their appreciation for democracy and America.

I must admit that the idea of “Social Media Night” seems odd, considering it essentially encourages fans to use phones during a baseball game. But that’s a different argument for another time.

⚾️.

Update: Here they are in person. 👍
