2024 World Series baseball teams: New York Yankees (who wear pinstriped uniforms) versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Apparently, the baseball uniform did not help as the Dodgers defeated the Yankees 4 to 2 in the 2024 World Series.
wikipedia source:
This zebra (Equus grevyi), also known as the imperial zebra, is the largest living wild equid and the most threatened of the three species of zebra, the other two being the plains zebra and the mountain zebra. Named after Jules Grevy, it is found in parts of Kenya and Ethiopia.
Superficially, Grevy's zebras' physical features can help to identify it from the other zebra species; their overall appearance is slightly closer to that of a mule, compared to the more "equine" (horse) appearance of the plains and mountain zebras. Compared to other zebra species, Grevy's are the tallest; they have mule-like, larger ears, and have the tightest stripes of all zebras. They have distinctively erect manes, and more slender snouts.
