Well, since most people would admit that a jester should have a checked top,
why not use the Royal King's torso? Then use an alternation of red and white

is good, but can you get those 1x1 bricks in red? I'm just thinking of colour
schemes... white sockets and yellow antennae would look good too).
Of course, then you have the problem of getting a different torso for your
king, but most of the Star Wars or Pirate tops would probably work.
