The Indianapolis Colts are adding a meaningful detail to their uniforms this season—a custom black patch honoring longtime Owner and CEO Jim Irsay.
The patch, which will be worn on the jerseys throughout the 2025 season, features Irsay’s initials and signature, highlighted by his trademark smiley face—a personal touch that’s been part of his autograph for years. It’s a subtle but heartfelt nod to the deep connection Irsay has built with Colts fans over the decades.
Adding to the detail, the patch includes seven grommets, a clever design element tying back to the seven grommets on the Colts' iconic horseshoe logo. It’s a subtle integration that blends the club’s visual identity with a personal tribute.
The Colts rolled out the patch in full force across their digital presence on Tuesday, with all official team social media accounts updating their profile images to match the commemorative design. Expect to see it consistently featured across all platforms and content throughout the season.
This is more than just a patch—it’s a salute to a man who has poured his passion into the franchise, shaping the culture of the Colts on and off the field.
When the Boston Red Sox take the field for their Rivalry Weekend opener against the Braves, they’ll do so in a fresh new look—one that pays homage to one of the most iconic venues in all of sports. The latest addition to Nike’s City Connect series draws its inspiration not from the city at large, but from the beating heart of Boston baseball: Fenway Park.
Built in 1912, Fenway is the oldest stadium in Major League Baseball, and it’s more than just a ballpark—it’s a symbol, a shrine, and a living thread connecting generations of Red Sox fans. That emotional connection became the driving force behind the new City Connect uniforms, which are draped in the unmistakable hue of the Green Monster.
“We’ve been intrigued by the idea of somehow making Fenway the star of a jersey,” said Troup Parkinson, Red Sox chief marketing and partnership officer.
And they’ve done just that. The jerseys are a study in subtle tribute, with clever nods to Fenway’s details woven throughout the design. The Green Monster scoreboard font spells out “Red Sox” across the chest—a decision made after experimenting with “Boston,” which ultimately didn’t capture the same visual impact. As Parkinson noted, “We kind of liked the idea that the only Boston front jerseys we wear are on Patriots’ Day.”
The color itself was the biggest design challenge. Matching the exact shade of the Monster took years of collaboration between the Red Sox design team and Nike. But their patience paid off, with a final product that hits all the right notes.
the jersey numbers appear on both the front and back, with the front numbers in yellow—mirroring the color used on the Fenway scoreboard when the Sox score a run—while the back numbers are in white to match the manual scoreboard plates. The neckline is shaded to resemble the concrete interior of the Monster, and inside the neck is a stitched “1912” as a tribute to the year Fenway opened. Near the bottom of the jersey, tucked into the pants, are small green and red dots that represent the balls, strikes, and outs display from the scoreboard. These subtle details will become even more visible when the team debuts their City Connect batting practice hats next week.
The launch of these jerseys marks the second installment in Boston’s City Connect story. The fan-favorite yellow-and-blue Boston Marathon-inspired set unveiled in 2021 will remain in the rotation, but this new green set brings a different energy—grounded not in tradition alone, but in the living, breathing legacy of Fenway Park.
The Red Sox will wear the new City Connects again on May 23 against the Orioles, a night that will include a special ballpark giveaway for the first 7,500 fans. As for future appearances, that’ll be up to manager Alex Cora and the players.
“I wouldn't be shocked if AC makes this kind of the Friday uniform and then we wear yellow Saturday and white Sunday,” said Parkinson. “But we’ll see.”
Regardless of how often they’re worn, one thing is clear: this jersey isn’t just another alternate—it’s a tribute. A statement. A salute to the place where Red Sox legends are made, and where Bostonians come together in celebration, heartbreak, and everything in between.
Fenway Park isn’t just the backdrop. It’s the main character.

U.S. Soccer has officially unveiled its 2025 National Team Kit Collection, and it’s more than just a uniform — it’s a powerful blend of fashion, heritage, and national pride. Developed in collaboration with Nike and senior players from both the women’s and men’s teams, this year’s kits reflect the evolving culture of soccer in the United States, while staying rooted in legacy.
At the heart of this collection is the Brilliant Kit, designed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the U.S. Women’s National Team. With design elements pulled from some of the most iconic kits in team history, the Brilliant Kit honors the pioneers who laid the foundation for women’s soccer in America. Featuring subtle star details and a modern silhouette, the kit captures both the legacy and the forward momentum of the program. As Lynn (Williams) Biyendolo explained, “Every time we put on the uniform, it brings a great sense of pride. We know we are standing on the shoulders of giants. The Brilliant Kit is just another way to honor our past.”
The Heartbeat Kit, worn by both men’s and women’s players, pays tribute to the fans. Designed with a sleek, dark aesthetic and inspired by heritage and streetwear, the kit is a nod to the emotional bond between players and supporters. Yunus Musah described the concept by saying, “I love the heartbeat theme because it shows how much it means to all of us to represent the crest.” USMNT player Mark McKenzie echoed that sentiment, stating, “There’s a modern edge to this kit. It’s sleek, but still grounded in the history and meaning of the red, white, and blue.”
Nike has also prioritized sustainability in this collection. The jerseys are made from 100% recycled polyester sourced from plastic bottles, and the shorts are composed of at least 80% recycled material. This commitment to environmentally conscious design reflects a broader purpose behind the kits, one that goes beyond performance and into values that matter.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see the new kits in action. The U.S. Women’s National Team will debut the Brilliant Kit on May 31 against China PR in St. Paul, Minnesota. Meanwhile, the U.S. Men’s National Team will wear the Heartbeat Kit for the first time on June 7 against Turkey in East Hartford, Connecticut.
The 2025 U.S. National Team Kits are a reflection of who we are — a soccer nation built on legacy, shaped by community, and driven by pride. This isn’t just a new chapter in American soccer fashion. It’s a statement of unity, purpose, and the evolving identity of the sport in the United States.
For fans, players, and everyone in between, this collection is a reminder of where we’ve been and where we’re going — together.
Manchester City and PUMA have officially unveiled the 2025/26 Home kit — and it’s one for the history books.
For the first time ever, the iconic “sash” design makes its debut on a Manchester City Home jersey. Long associated with Away kits worn by legends like Mike Summerbee, Colin Bell, Francis Lee, and Tony Book, the sash now takes center stage on City’s famous sky blue canvas. This reimagined white diagonal stripe connects the club’s rich heritage with a bold new era.
The sash first graced City kits in the 1970s and has since become a fan-favorite detail tied to unforgettable away-day moments. But for 2025/26, the design moves from memory to the main stage — a nod to tradition while signaling a new chapter for the club.
PUMA’s Marco Mueller, Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, expressed the brand’s excitement: “We’re so excited to be featuring the iconic sash, made famous from away days of old, on the Home kit for the first time. With our partnership, we aim to push boundaries in design, creativity, and innovation.”
Fans won’t have to wait long to see the new look in action. The men’s first team will debut the sash-inspired kit at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup this summer, hosted in the United States.
The Houston Cougars baseball team has officially stepped into the colorway crossfire, debuting a bold new set of uniforms unveiling what it’s calling ‘Houston Blue’ uniforms. And yes, they’ve entered the blue uniform conversation in a big way.
The uniforms feature light blue jerseys with ‘Houston’ written in clean white script, outlined in red—a nod to both tradition and bold experimentation. The colorway is immediately recognizable for its layered references, especially for longtime football fans in Texas. And that’s exactly why it’s turning heads.
The baseball cap features a light blue bill and back, contrasted with a white front panel that proudly displays the Cougars’ red UH logo.
Both sleeves are patched up—one with the Big 12 logo and the other with the Texas state flag.
To cap it off, players will rock custom Marucci gloves stitched in matching light blue script.
This isn’t just about aesthetics. The Cougars' use of Columbia blue continues a broader trend at the University of Houston that’s made waves across the state. For context: the Tennessee Titans, who own the rights to the former Houston Oilers’ brand and color scheme, have made clear their displeasure over others tapping into the iconic “Luv Ya Blue” visuals.
The Serpientes are back—and this time, they're bringing the throwback heat.
the Arizona Diamondbacks officially unveiled their City Connect 2.0 uniforms, giving fans a fresh look that’s equal parts nostalgia and next-gen design. For those who have longed for the return of the franchise’s original purple and teal color scheme, this drop hits home in a big way.
From the moment the jerseys were revealed, it was clear: this isn’t just a uniform—it’s a tribute.
The 2.0 version builds on the original City Connect uniform launched in 2021, keeping the iconic “Serpientes” script across the chest—complete with the coiled snake "S" that’s become a fan favorite. But everything else has leveled up.
Gone is the desert sand. In its place? A stunning fusion of Arizona’s original DNA and modern storytelling.
Purple and Teal dominate the palette, a direct nod to the franchise’s earliest and most successful years—including the 2001 World Series title.
Pinstripes meet snakeskin in a bold pattern that merges the inaugural jersey with the “evolutionary” 2016–19 design.
The sleeves feature updated braiding, reminiscent of classic alternates with a modern twist.
A unique “Arizona Born” graphic inside the collar reinforces that this team represents the entire state, not just Phoenix.
On the sleeve, a custom flag patch blends the “A” logo with the Arizona state flag, redesigned in purple and black.
“This uniform embodies every facet of what makes us the Arizona Diamondbacks,” said CEO Derrick Hall. “It celebrates our past, our culture, and our fans—their passion is in every thread.”
It’s a sentiment echoed by the players, too. Ace Zac Gallen gave it his stamp of approval, saying, “I think they did a good job… I'm glad that they're incorporating some purple.” Outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is already on-brand with purple hair, while Ketel Marte rocks purple and teal cleats—fitting tributes to the team’s roots.
The attention to detail stands out. From the collar graphic to the custom textures, the D-backs and Nike delivered a look that balances nostalgia with innovation. “There are some subtle things people won’t catch until they have one in hand,” Gallen added. “That’s what makes it cool.”

Cue the nostalgia — and the old gold. West Virginia University is throwing it all the way back to 1965 with a special edition uniform that’s more than just a retro look. It's a tribute to one of the most storied seasons in Mountaineer football history — and a design that has never truly been replicated... until now.
the 1965 throwback uniform marks a first-of-its-kind effort from WVU: a true historical replica that brings to life the textures, tones, and traditions of a team that not only dominated the Southern Conference but lit up the scoreboard in a record-setting Backyard Brawl.
“It was an opportunity to do a true throwback, which we haven’t done,” said WVU deputy director of athletics Matt Wells. “We thought with the unique nature of that helmet, and the helmet logo with the baby blue, it was probably the most unique element of any of the past uniforms that we could potentially replicate.”
It’s what turned heads then, and it’s what turns heads now: a three-dimensional navy blue WVU logo, outlined in gold, laid atop a light-blue silhouette of the state of West Virginia. Set against an old gold shell, it looked ahead of its time back in ’65 — like technicolor in a black-and-white world.
The helmet design was so iconic that WVU athletic director Wren Baker made it a personal mission to revisit the look as soon as he spotted it in the Hall of Traditions.
“The inspiration really came shortly after Wren got here,” Wells said. “He was familiarizing himself with the history of Mountaineer football, and he saw the 1965 helmet on display… that started a conversation of, ‘Hey, what can we do with that?’”
Some versions of the original helmet had a single blue stripe, while others didn’t. Split end Bob Dunlevy recalled, with a laugh, that the inconsistency probably came down to the infamous resourcefulness of longtime equipment manager Carl Roberts.
“I kept my helmet because I needed it to play in the North-South game after the season,” Dunlevy said. “I’m sure Carl was probably after me to return it, but I kept it, and I still have it.”
The throwback uniform does more than just replicate an old look — it marks 60 years since WVU’s 1965 conference championship season, a year highlighted by the highest-scoring Backyard Brawl in history, a 63-48 win over Pitt.
While the look came from the past, the design process was very much rooted in the present. Kristin Coldsnow, the creative force behind WVU’s recent themed uniforms, was brought back to lead the design — ensuring everything from the shade of blue to the state outline was authentic. She worked closely with Nike to match every detail.
Equipment staffer Austin Blake helped perfect the helmet’s bumper colors and logo placement, while WVU’s internal uniform brain trust — including Michael Fragale and Joe Swan — all contributed during the design phase.
What started as a temporary name and a blank slate has officially transformed into one of the boldest identities in professional hockey. After more than 850,000 votes and a year-long rebranding process, Utah’s NHL franchise has a name, a look, and a rallying cry: Utah Mammoth is here to stay — and it’s stomping in with purpose.
the new identity is the product of 13 months of community input, a rapid design timeline, and a vision to build something by Utah, for Utah. The team partnered with Doubleday & Cartwright to bring the brand to life, and fans showed up in force to help shape every element of the new look.
“The community chose the Utah Mammoth brand, and it stands as a symbol of who we are, where we came from and the unstoppable force we’re building together,” said owners Ryan and Ashley Smith.
The new identity centers on the "Mountain Mammoth" logo — a mammoth charging forward with the Wasatch Mountains on its crown, the outline of Utah carved into the peaks, and tusks forming a bold "U." It's a logo packed with meaning and motion, and it's now front and center on the franchise’s permanent home and away uniforms.
The home jersey features the Mountain Mammoth charging across the chest, while the away kit introduces a bold step-down “U-T-A-H” wordmark running diagonally down the front — an evolution of the team’s inaugural design.
Other design details include:
Primary Colors: Rock Black, Mountain Blue, and Salt White (a carryover from the inaugural season).
Typography: A custom-designed font called Mammoth Sans, which leans forward at a 10-degree angle, mimicking Utah’s jagged terrain. The “A” and “H” carry angular crossbars, linking back to the team’s original lettering.
Collar Detail: Both jerseys include “EST. 2024” stitched into the neckline — a nod to the franchise's roots.
Shoulder Logos: The home jerseys carry a new Utah Badge — a stylized patch with the state outline, “U-T-A-H,” and a hockey stick. The away jerseys carry the Mountain Mammoth on the shoulders.
Pant Detail: A tusk cuts through the “U” on both sets of pants, tying the whole identity together from top to bottom.
Very few professional teams have invited fans this deeply into the rebranding process, especially on such an accelerated timeline. The franchise began as the Utah Hockey Club after acquiring the Arizona Coyotes in April 2024. From there, it launched a four-round fan vote to determine the permanent name and identity.
That passion was rewarded with an identity that hits hard on every level: geographic, historic, visual, and cultural. From the Ice Age legacy of the mammoth to the modern, clean aesthetic of the jerseys, the Utah Mammoth feel fully formed — like they've been part of the NHL landscape for decades.
In a bold fusion of sport, music, and fashion, FC Barcelona and Spotify have announced their sixth jersey collaboration—this time with Travis Scott and his Cactus Jack brand. The special edition jersey will be worn during two of the biggest matches of the season: the men’s Clásico on May 11 and the women’s Liga F match on May 18.
Known for his genre-bending style and massive global following, Travis Scott becomes the latest artist to have his logo take center stage on the Barça jersey, following in the footsteps of icons like Drake, ROSALÍA, Coldplay, KAROL G, and The Rolling Stones.
“El Clásico is a moment the whole world taps into,” said Travis Scott. “Teaming up with Spotify and FC Barcelona lets me merge my universe with theirs. This wasn’t just about throwing Cactus Jack on a jersey. It’s about building something that blurs the line between sound and sport. Being the first artist to perform in Barcelona as part of this collaboration and sharing that moment with my fans just takes it to another level.”
For the first time in the Spotify x Barça partnership, the artist featured on the jersey will also take the stage. Travis Scott is set to perform a private concert on May 10—the night before El Clásico—at an iconic Barcelona location transformed for the occasion. This will be Scott’s first-ever performance in the city, and select fans will be invited via Spotify to experience this exclusive event.
To complement the jersey drop, a limited edition lifestyle collection will release on May 9 via Scott’s website. The capsule will include T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, scarves, shorts, caps, and even a retro-style football—offering fans a wearable glimpse into the Cactus Jack universe.
“As a longtime Travis fan and someone who cares about style, this collaboration with Spotify is powerful,” said FC Barcelona defender Jules Kounde. “Seeing the Cactus Jack logo on our jersey and being part of a drop that blends football with fashion and music is hugely inspiring. I’m proud to be part of a club that embraces that.”
