Walking to the Potomac Avenue metrorail station yesterday morning, this DCist eyed a pink flyer haphazardly taped to a light-post — nothing too spectacular, spare the message:

Now available…the ‘Official’ Washington Nationals ‘Safe at Home’ Bulletproof Vests.

These Major-League quality Kevlar vests, with team logos and colors, give sure-fire protection throughout the District of Columbia. And fans coming to RFK Stadium won’t need to fear at 15th & C SE or 17th & Independence, where “post game fireworks” can mean Uzis and Glocks.

Prices:
Home Red and Away Blue–$595
Children’s Sizes–$395
With genuine player autograph–$1,595

DC’s been dying for baseball for too long!

This seems less a serious commercial endeavour and more a thinly veiled jab at the District’s new hometown baseball team — and a creative one at that.
