In what HAS to be one of the more unique pieces of Star Wars memorabilia to come available, the Toledo Mud Hen Chewbacca themed jerseys will indeed be sold through the teams “Swamp Shop”. The following information comes from Craig Katz, Director of Merchandise and Licensing for the Mud Hens:
We are currently taking pre-orders for Chewbacca themed jerseys that we expect to receive in June or July. If you would like to place a a pre-order, please call the Swamp Shop at 1-800-736-9520. They would be available in sizes S-3XL. They cost $79.95 - $84.95 depending on size.
Very cool!
Update: More info from Craig:
They will be a very limited edition… Thanks Chris!
Also, please mention that the jerseys worn this weekend by the Mud Hens will be auctioned off Saturday and Sunday with proceeds going to the Spina Bifida Association of Northwest Ohio. These game worn jerseys will have player numbers on the backs, and will be autographed by the player who wore it, who will most likely become a future Major League Baseball player.
Okay, an autographed game worn Star Wars themed jersey by a future MLB player is very near the top of the list for cross over Star Wars collectibles. And it’s for a good cause.
