Some championship teams give the president a personalized jersey when they visit the White House, but the Boston Red Sox have something much more, um, patriotic for their meeting with Barack Obama next week.
The Twitter account of the 2013 World Series champs posted a few photos of the team's red, white and blue blazers, and they are something to behold. Perhaps not surprisingly, Boston's colorful sparkplug Jonny Gomes was behind the patriotic look.

The team even ordered a blazer for the president himself.
Hey @BarackObama, we have a gift for you for our trip on Tuesday to @WhiteHouse. Stars & Stripes blazers for all. pic.twitter.com/p3dmKQlo2E

Boston got the gear from Loudmouth Golf, which has designed outfits for John Daly, Bill Murray, Norway's curling team and more.
But Red Sox players will apparently refrain from wearing these during their visit:
American flag blazers hanging in #RedSox lockers. White House attire? "No, just a gift," Jonny Gomes said. "Guys can wear 'em whenever"
