Formula One has revealed their new car for the upcoming 2022 season. The new car has been designed to allow for closer racing and the potential for more overtakes throughout a race.
The cars will now feature over-wheel winglets and wheel covers. The job of the over-wheel winglets is to help control the wake coming off the front tires and direct it away from the rear wing. We will see, for the first time in F1, 18” wheels with low-profile tires.
The new cars will also have a new front wing and nose concept that is another way that F1 will ensure that the front wheel wake is controlled and create a more direct disruption of the airflow. On the back of the car we see a new rear wing that features ‘rolled tips’ meant to create a rotational airflow that collects the rear wheel wake and rolls it into the flow exiting the diffuser and forming an invisible ‘mushroom’-shaped wake. The new design will make for a more competitive race come 2022.
The Los Angeles Rams have released their newest jersey that are a modern throwback white jersey.

The new Modern Throwback pays tribute to older design elements with the inclusion of the ram horns on the capped sleeves and have a good blend of weaving in the modern design elements.

Nike SB has revealed the special kits for their skate teams to wear in the Tokyo Olympics. For the inaugural year’s federation kits, Nike SB created kits for the United States, Japan, France and Brazil. Each design highlights recognizable cityscapes, inspired by the attention to scenery found in Japanese art. Each kit was inspired by a sport that is linked to the specific country: a baseball jersey for Japan, a basketball jersey for the United States, a tennis polo for France and a soccer kit for Brazil. The finishing touch comes with a bird on each kit that symbolizes the sprit of each country: Japan a Crane, United States an Eagle, France a Rooster, and Brazil a Toucan.
“When we talked to Piet about the designs, we asked him, ‘Take what’s happening in Tokyo out of the picture for a second; if you were to make a kit on your own, what would it be?’ We started to see the natural connections between a landscape and the act of skating. You don’t skate in a vacuum. Everything that’s around you plays a role in drawing new lines.” -Donavan Harris, the Nike Design Lead
The San Francisco Giants are the latest team to reveal their City Connect Uniform. The uniform puts a focus on the Giants orange and draws inspiration from the fog that is iconic in the Bay Area.

We see the city’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge, and the historical landmark makes appearances across the jersey’s sleeves as well as the side of the uniform’s orange cap.
"We took main focuses for us that really stood out about San Francisco. One of them was the Golden Gate Bridge. It's internationally known everywhere in the world. It's a sign of welcoming to San Francisco. And as Mark Twain made famous, the coldest winter ever spent is the summer in San Francisco. The fog is what makes our city different." -Giants executive vice president of business operations Mario Alioto
The Giants will wear the special look for every Tuesday home game for the remainder of this season.
The official uniforms for the USA Golf men’s and women’s teams have been released for the Tokyo Summer Olympics. The uniforms for both teams were designed by Tokyo-based artist Hiroko Takahashi, who drew inspiration from Shingen Takeda, a pre-eminent Japanese warrior in the Sengoku period, where he inspired others to be “as fast as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as daring as fire, and immovable as the mountain.”
Each day both the men’s and women’s team will have a different uniform that represents one of the characteristics from the saying: Round 1 – Wind, Round 2 – Forest, Round 3 – Fire, and Round 4 – Mountain.
“I THINK THAT I WAS ABLE TO DESIGN WITH A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE FROM WHEN I DESIGN PRODUCTS FOR EVERYONE TO WEAR. I BELIEVE THAT GOLF IS A UNIQUE SPORT IN A SENSE THAT IT’S AN INDIVIDUAL SPORT, BUT YOU CAN ALSO PLAY IT WITH A TEAM. WITH THAT IN MY MIND, I DESIGNED THE USA GOLF UNIFORMS WITH LINKS OF CIRCLES AND LINES, IMAGINING THE POWERS OF INDIVIDUALS COMING TOGETHER AS ONE AND SPREADING INTO INFINITE POSSIBILITIES.”- Designer Hiroko Takahashi
