Ironic detachment is not one of the stereotypes that the Brooklyn Cyclones will explore at the minor-league team’s Williamsburg Night on July 5, but pretty much all other hipster trappings—facial hair, skinny jeans, love of nostalgic games—are on the table. “We’re actually embracing the community rather than making fun of them,” says communications director Bill Harner. “This is a celebration.” The event, part of a promotional series featuring borough ’hoods (past nights highlighted Bay Ridge, Park Slope and Brighton Beach), is meant to cater to the North Brooklyn crowd rather than mock it.
