The Barcelona item is missing a link, and I think there are some formatting issues at the bottom of the ticker!
Thanks, AJ. Both now fixed.
The court is all Siena. Albany’s logo is a great dane, not a “Saint” Bernard
Are we expecting more cricket news or did somebody go Ctrl+V crazy with an tag?
personal opinion, I thought michigan state had some of sharpest football uniform sets in the 2010’s and seems to be veering away from something that works. feels like a swing and miss to connect football uniforms to Mateen Cleaves basketball era.
MSU’s stripeless green pants are terrible, and the green has gotten more drab and black with each version. I say this as a disappointed alumnus who even saw them where Black, Bronze and Gold. It’s Green and White, guys
Barcelona in white? Why????So we can better see the spotify logo?
