Basketball Team Celebrates MGK with Pink Uniforms

The NBA G-League‘s Cleveland Charge will celebrate MGK Night at the arena tonight with special pink uniforms.

For those readers not up with modern popular music, MGK (or Machine Gun Kelly) is a well-known rapper/singer/songwriter based out of Cleveland.

“Celebrate Cleveland musician Machine Gun Kelly with us during MGK Night on March 17,” reads a release from the Charge, “the team will be decked out in jerseys featuring [MGK’s] signature hot pink motif!”. The Charge will also distribute pink t-shirts to the first one thousand fans who enter Wolstein Arena tonight.

The pink uniforms include white lightning-bolt style pinstripes, black and white striping around the arms and neck, with “CLEVELAND” scrawled across the front. Machine Gun Kelly’s “XX” mark, a reference to his “EST 19XX” slogan (Everyone Stands Together), appears in the upper right.
