The costume of the Artful Dodgers reminds me of the L A Dodgers' uniform.The baseball dodgers are on an incredible win streak. 5th division title in a row(13 out of last 14) AND a possible 3rd consecutive World Series appearance/ victory!It appears that being a Dodger is synonymous with victories. Why change?

A lot of centrist/conservative dems have found it easier to avoid debates than actually have to defend their conservative views against more Progressive or even Republican opponents. They’ll reveal that they are Republican Lite and lose to either side.
