Ten Halloween Costume Ideas for Cleveland Indians Fans

Today is Halloween, the one day of the year when you can wear a ridiculous costume in public and not be considered crazy. In case there’s anyone in Cleveland who might still need an outfit for tonight, I’ve put together a Top 10 list of ideas for Indians fans who’ve been procrastinating with their costumes.

Enjoy!

10. Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn. The classic: mohawk, sleeveless jersey, dorky glasses.

9. Paul Konerko. He’s hit 46 home runs against the Indians in his career, but it feels like 46,000.

8. Grady Sizemore‘s doctor. “I’m here to deliver the news…”

7. Chris Perez with a microphone. Run away quick—this isn’t going to end well.

6. Flo. Oh dear God, not another Progressive commercial…

5. Albert Belle: As offered by Vince Guerrieri: “Chase kids in an SUV. Take a bat to the stereo and thermostat at the party. Wear a Tribe jersey and say you’re Albert Belle.”

4. The Rocky Colavito Wizard. Put on an Indians cap and some long purple robes and tell everyone you meet that they will never win the World Series again.

3. The 1997 World Series. Affix a television to your torso and have it play footage from Game 7 on loop. This one is not for the faint of heart.

2. The never-ending losing streak. I’m not exactly sure how you’d pull this off (you’d need some special lighting and a very well-designed costume), but the dark being that haunted Tribe fans’ dreams in August would definitely scare the neighborhood kids.

1. Sexy Chief Wahoo. I don’t want to think too hard about how this would work, but I’m sure it would add a whole new dimension of moral offensiveness to the already-racist mascot.

What do you think of these ideas? Anything else we should have included? If you end up using one of these, please send us a picture.
