Darth Vader, Chewy or R2-D2? Three MiLB teams unveil new Star Wars-themed unis
The year of the themed Minor League jersey remains in full swing, as the Kane County Cougars, the Durham Bulls and the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers all recently announced Star Wars-themed uniform tops.
The Class A Cougars (affiliated with the Cubs), are planning on wearing these Chewbacca-themed unis during their Star Wars night on May 2:

Then, on May the Fourth, the Triple-A Durham Bulls (of the Rays organization) will don an R2-D2-flavored jersey:

No, they can't all take the field at the same time, but if they somehow could, you'd be wise to side with the Cougars.
Why?
