Joe Maddon and Theo Epstein have implemented plenty of changes since taking over as the Cubs manager and team president, but the most recent one seems to be a bit over the top.
The Cubs unveiled their new clubhouse on Tuesday, and it doesn’t look like any we’ve ever seen before. It’s hard to tell if it’s a locker room or a nightclub.

I'm going to ask these jerseys how they feel and how much fun they're having. pic.twitter.com/13bwH49sbj

There’s also a giant bear etched into the ceiling, and the lights around a rendition of the team’s mascot changes colors.
Watch the colors change. Trippy, right? pic.twitter.com/vvB74xstQA

The Cubs players seemed to like it, though.

A bit over the top, don’t you think? However, if the Cubs win the World Series and end the 108-year drought, it’ll be well worth it.
