- New unis for Kentucky men which they’ll wear during their upcoming trip to the Bahamas. Many readers noted that NCAA rules state that the wordmark can’t extend past the top of the numbers, though on the white jersey the wordmark clearly does.
Soccer
USA
- New Atlanta United MF Edwin Mosquera wanted to wear No. 70, but has settled for No. 21, because MLS numbers “don’t go that high.” MLS numbers actually do go that high, but a later tweet from the same reporter said that Mosquera may be misunderstanding an Atlanta United rule for an MLS one.

International
- England: Everton have signed a deal with a company called “Fancurve” which will offer *deep sigh* NFT shirts for use in the Metaverse. Fancurve already has a similar deal with Spanish side Real Betis. The designs of the shirts will not be replicas of the on-field kits, instead being original designs. (From @texastrevor)
- England: New third kits for Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Southampton.

- Netherlands: The home shirt for the Oranje for the 2022 World Cup has been leaked.
- Germany: Hansa Rostock, a club in the second tier of German soccer, have unveiled their new third kit, a sharp black number.

I’m pretty sure Kentucky is just wearing those uniforms for their upcoming pre-season Bahamas trip, not during the actual season.
I could be wrong.
You are correct. Ticker edited to reflect the Bahamas trip.
I hope so—they look like reversible practice shirts.
The white one is the only one that looks like it would be wearable during the season. I do like seeing Wildcats on the front of the jersey though, thats a huge change for UK
Using those colors and adding the oval makes for a sharp new logo for HMS.
The sun looks orange-y to me…a good thing, as is placing emphasis on Miami for the wordmark.
IMO, the calamity of last year’s the Nashville GP was rooted in the circuit’s design…the new tires hopefully won’t create additional issues this go-’round.
With the Giants revealing their uniform schedule it confirms we will have “color vs color” on Thanksgiving in Dallas, just like when it happened in 2017 with the Chargers vs Cowboys thanksgiving bout.
How? The Cowboys can’t also wear blue. Unless you mean a throwback with the white helmet.

To that link it needs to be added “^12” at the end of it.
