How to put it together

Put on the solid black undershirt and pull the black athletic knee socks up to your knees.
- 2
Put on the pinstripe baseball pants, pulling the cuffs up just below the knee so the black socks are visible.
- 3
Layer the pinstripe baseball jersey over the black undershirt, leaving the top few buttons open.
- 4
Put on the plain black baseball cap, keeping it straight and low over your brow.
- 5
Apply the face paint: paint your entire face white, then paint thick, aggressive black swoops or colorful mask-like patterns around your eyes.
- 6
Complete the look by carrying your prop baseball bat over your shoulder with a menacing stance.
Makeup & hair
The makeup is the core of this look. Apply a solid white base over your entire face, then use black and bright colors (like red or blue) to paint sharp, aggressive athletic eye masks or geometric patterns. Hair should be tucked neatly under the black baseball cap.
