LAKEWOOD, NJ - The BlueClaws have unveiled a brand new beach-inspired hat and jersey combo that will be worn by the team this summer.
The cap is modeled after a beach ball and includes a crab walking across the beach with a sand bucket on his head. The brim is sand-colored with additional cap panels in yellow, blue, and red. The jersey is light blue with royal blue sleeves. Red and yellow piping runs around the sleeves and down the front of the jersey with the crab on the left chest.

This new uniform will be worn by the BlueClaws at every Thursday home game during the 2020 season.
"We're very excited to debut this alternate uniform in 2020," said Team President Joe Ricciutti. "Over the last several years, we have brought elements of the Jersey Shore to the ballpark, and this is another logical step. Our team is going to look fantastic and we can't wait to debut them on April 16th!"
New merchandise includes both hats (fitted, stretch, and adjustable) and t-shirts and are available now in the Claws Cove or online at BlueClaws.com/Shop.

The BlueClaws made a series of significant ballpark enhancements over the last several seasons to help bring the Jersey Shore to the ballpark.
In 2018, the team debuted a nine-hole Family Mini Golf Course down the right field line that is open during all home games. The course is perfect for families of all sizes, or groups of friends or colleagues looking for a unique activity to enjoy before or during a BlueClaws game.
The Toyota World of Lakewood Home Run Pavilion also opened in 2018. Featuring five popular boardwalk games - Hoop Shot, Balloon Darts, Ring Toss, Cat Rack, and Goblet Toss - the area is also open during all home games.
Lastly, the BlueClaws opened a new Biergarten down the left field line that also serves as the home for Thirsty Thursday presented by 95.9 WRAT and the Coors Light Summer Concert Series.
"These ballpark enhancements have further driven home the BlueClaws' commitment to affordable, family entertainment here at the Jersey Shore," said Ricciutti. "In particular this year, we're going to reach 8-million fans and celebrate 20 years at the Shore. It's a great time to be a BlueClaws fan."

2020 BlueClaws Membership Plans are currently on sale.
"Each Membership Plan is built to give fans a great Jersey Shore experience over the summer," said Bob McLane, the team's Senior Vice President of Ticket Sales. "The Plans include exclusive Premium Items, plus a hot dog, soda and novelty ice cream at each game. Then, fans enjoy a great boardwalk game too!"
Additional information can be found at BlueClaws.com/Memberships.
McLane added: "Our Boardwalk Bundle tickets, which just debuted two years ago, have also proven to be immensely popular for groups from a wide cross-section of the Shore."
Boardwalk Bundle group tickets are just $15 (minimum 10) and include not just a reserve seat ticket but also a hot dog, soda, novelty ice cream, and game ticket for the Toyota World of Lakewood Home Run Pavilion. For more information, visit BlueClaws.com/Boardwalk.
