The result: Their "Game of Thrones" jersey, which is fantastic for its details and for the fact that it looks like an actual baseball jersey and not, well, whatever this is.

The club explains the specifics*in its announcement:
•*Rather than throw the Bulls into a jersey garnered with faux chain mail, this jersey is designed as a modern day, real-world version of how a prominent Game of Thrones family might dress should they find themselves playing baseball. We wanted it to be able to work as a legitimate alternate jersey for the Bulls.
•*The Bull sigil itself not only represents the team’s moniker, but also the City of Durham…which is affectionately known as the “Bull City.” The seven stars below the bull mirror the seven stars on the City of Durham’s flag. Seven is also a big number in Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms, the Faith of the Seven. BullSigil
• The geometric background of the jersey is a simple pattern, but some see familiar faces of well-known GoT sigils. A Stark dire wolf? A Lannister lion? A Durham bull? Or just a bunch of home plates?
The Bulls are wearing these April 23, not long after the fifth season of "Game of Thrones" premieres on HBO on April 12. We're confident the baseball game will be less bloody.
