2023 Super Bowl uniforms: Eagles, Chiefs unveil jersey selections for Super Bowl LVII

Super Bowl LVII will take place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, but the NFL alternates the official “home” team for the championship every year. This season, the designation belongs to the NFC, meaning the Eagles will grace the home locker room for their title clash with the Chiefs. Not only that, but they had the privilege of selecting their uniforms for the big game. On Tuesday, the team unveiled its pick, sharing video of a “Super Bowl LVII” patch being stitched to their midnight green jerseys.

The Eagles also shared images of the Super Bowl jerseys being loaded up for shipment to Arizona. Green jerseys are part of the team’s traditional home uniform, and they’re what Philadelphia has worn in all three of its previous Super Bowl appearances. The Eagles sported Kelly green when they faced the Raiders in Super Bowl XV at the close of the 1980 season, but they wore their current midnight green jerseys when they beat the Patriots in Super Bowl LII at the end of the 2017 campaign.

It’s unconfirmed what color pants the Eagles will pair with the jerseys, but they have traditionally used white bottoms as part of the pairing. 

The selection of the green home jerseys means the “visiting” Chiefs will sport their white away jerseys. The team’s official Twitter account shared a preview of the look they will sport in two weeks with a video of quarterback Patrick Mahomes in his jersey. 

Kansas City has worn red in its past three Super Bowls, IV, LIV and LV and will debut white for the first time with an NFL championship on the line on Feb. 12. The Chiefs have two wins and one loss in their red Super Bowl jerseys. In the 56 Super Bowls played so far, the team wearing white has won 36 times, opposed to non-white teams, which have won 20 times.

Ukrainian women on the front line struggle to find uniforms that fit. One couple aims to fix that


Kyiv, Ukraine
CNN
 — 

Andrii Kolesnyk and Kseniia Drahanyuk both beam with excitement as they crouch over a box.

They are about to unpack Ukraine’s first ever military uniform for pregnant women, which they recently commissioned after a pregnant sniper got in touch.

The young couple, both TV journalists before the war started, are now fully dedicated to their independent NGO, “Zemlyachki,” or “Compatriots,” which procures vital items for women in the armed forces.

The initiative started when Andrii’s sister was sent to the front on February 24, the day Russia invaded Ukraine.

“She received men’s uniform, men’s underwear,” he says. “Everything that [was] designed for men.”

It soon became clear that servicewomen needed a lot more than uniforms. Everything from smaller boots to lighter plates for bulletproof vests to hygiene products is in demand.

So, the couple turned to private company donations, charity funds and crowdfunding to purchase goods independently of the military. Some customized gear such as women’s fatigues is produced under their own brand by a factory in Kharkiv in the country’s east – including the new pregnancy uniform.

Other items, including body armor plates, helmets and boots, come from companies as far afield as Sweden, Macedonia and Turkey. But Kolesnyk and Drahanyuk say they are struggling with the procurement of winter items like sleeping bags and thermal clothing that will be important for comfort as winter sets in.

Kolesnyk says they have distributed equipment worth $1 million so far and helped at least 3,000 women. If they’re on the front-line shooting rockets they might as well do it “in minimum comfort,” he tells CNN.

There are currently about 38,000 women in the armed forces, according to the country’s Ministry of Defense.

“We are doing this to help our government,” Kolesnyk says, not to compete with it. Their hub is overflowing with cardboard boxes full of kit, all paid for from crowdfunding and grants.

A physical disability prevents Kolesnyk from joining his sister, father and brother-in-law on the front lines, a fact that saddens him.

“For a man, it’s hard to understand that you can’t go there, and your sister is there. So, I’m trying to do my best here to help not only my family, but the whole army,” he says.

Twenty-one-year-old Roksolana, who gave only her first name for security reasons, walks in to pick up a uniform and other gear before heading out on her next assignment. An art school graduate, she joined the army in March and is now part of an intelligence unit.

“It’s so valuable to have these people who understand that we are tired of wearing clothes that are three sizes too big,” she says. “We had no helmets, we had old flak jackets, wore tracksuits and sneakers. Now we feel that we are humans.”

She giggles as she laces up her new boots with impeccable long fingernails. Before they hug goodbye, Drahanyuk hands Roksolana a copy of “The Choice,” the best-selling memoir by Holocaust survivor and psychologist Edith Eger. The aim is that this can be a tool to help process trauma. Zemlyachki has also formed partnerships with military psychologists to whom women in combat can reach out.

Other women, such as 25-year-old Alina Panina, are receiving psychological support through the Ukrainian military. A border guard with a canine unit, Panina spent five months in captivity at the infamous Olenivka prison in the Russian-controlled Donetsk region after leaving the besieged Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol.

She was finally released on October 17 as part of an all-female prisoner exchange with Russia and went into mandatory rehabilitation at a military hospital, under whose care she remains.

Ukraine recently demanded that the International Committee of the Red Cross send a delegation to the Russian prisoner of war camp.

“I was not prepared [for captivity], and we discussed this a lot with other women prisoners that life hasn’t prepared us for such [an] ordeal,” Panina says at a pizza bar run by veterans in downtown Kyiv.

She says prison guards “were unpredictable people” who sometimes abused prisoners verbally, but that she was spared any physical harm.

Now her partner’s fate is up in the air. He is also a border guard who is still in captivity. “I know he is alive but don’t know in which prison he is,” Panina says sadly as she scrolls through pictures of him.

When asked what gives her hope, she simply says, “our men, our people.”

Los Angeles Dodgers honoring Vin Scully with commemorative patch on uniforms

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers are paying tribute to legendary broadcaster Vin Scully by wearing a commemorative black patch featuring a microphone and “Vin” on their uniforms.

Scully, whose 67-year career calling games in Brooklyn and Los Angeles made him the longest-tenured broadcaster with a single team in sports history, died Tuesday night at age 94.

The Dodgers are out of town until Friday but will honor Scully with a pregame tribute that night.

Dodgers and San Francisco Giants players both lined up along the baselines before Wednesday’s game at Oracle Park for a pregame video tribute to Scully. Also, the Los Angeles Angels held a moment of silence for Scully before their home game against the Oakland Athletics.

Scully was celebrated and remembered by fans throughout L.A. on Wednesday. Some recalled his voice soothing them to sleep as kids.

“It was like listening to your favorite song on the radio all the time, he was always in the background,” said George Esteves, a 58-year-old from Sierra Madre.

Added Mitch Hammontree, a 68-year-old fan from Placentia, “He painted such a picture, you didn’t need a TV.”

Others recalled Scully as a bridge from one generation to the next, including 29-year-old Kenneth Walls of South Los Angeles who tuned in alongside his 90-year-old grandfather.

“He’s been a part of my life since I was born,” Walls said. “Having this opportunity to share this moment with the fans is really important. It’s more appropriate to be in a celebratory mood for such a long, beautifully lived life.”

At one point, a tiny green-colored bird alighted on a Dodgers cap nestled among the flowers.

“Look, it’s Vinny!” a woman exclaimed.

Diana Gutierrez of Downey brought her 8-year-old grandson to view the collection of mementos that included a blue-and-white Dodgers serape, baseball-shaped balloons and baseballs resting on top of the D and tucked in the V on the welcome sign at 1000 Vin Scully Ave.

“My grandson was saying this morning, ‘He’s such a nice person to everybody,”’ Gutierrez said. “I said, ‘Absolutely, that’s definitely a good memory to leave behind and that’s something to be proud of in Los Angeles.”’

Along Hollywood Boulevard, tourists and locals paused at Scully’s flower-strewn star on the Walk of Fame located two doors down from another legend, Musso & Frank Grill. A delivery man hung an arrangement of roses and other flowers in Dodgers colors on a wooden easel.

Back downtown a few miles from the stadium, the weekday lunch crowd was already in line at Philippe The Original.

“I was almost in tears,” 75-year-old Daniel Mirgil of Pomona said of hearing Scully had died. “We used to use our transistor radio just to listen to him.”

Los Angeles City Hall will be lit in blue starting Wednesday night. ESPN2 is re-airing Game 1 of the 1988 World Series featuring Scully’s memorable call of Kirk Gibson’s pinch-hit, walk-off home run that led the Dodgers to a win over the Oakland Athletics.

The self-effacing Scully would have appreciated the tributes but would have likely found them to be “a little bit embarrassing,” which was how he described the hoopla surrounding his retirement in 2016.

“I’ve never wanted to get out in front of the game,” he said then.

Moments of silence were held in Scully’s honor around the majors Wednesday.

“It’s the end of an era,” Hammontree said. “You think he’s going to live forever, and of course his legacy will.”

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Several Tampa Bay Rays players opt out of Pride Night uniforms

Placeholder while article actions load

A member of the Tampa Bay Rays said he and several teammates made a “faith-based decision” to not wear rainbow-colored logos on their uniforms during a “Pride Night” home game Saturday that recognized the LGBTQ community.

Most Rays players, per accounts from the game, wore the special uniform designs that had a rainbow pattern over the “TB” on their caps and over a sunburst logo on their right sleeves. The team, which has staged Pride Night for several seasons but had not previously included uniform changes, reportedly gave players the option to display the logos or go with the usual look.

Among the Rays who declined the rainbow logos, according to the Tampa Bay Times, were pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson. While Raley and Beeks appeared in the game, a 3-2 loss to the visiting Chicago White Sox, Adam was given the opportunity to explain why he and others opted out.

“A lot of it comes down to faith, to like a faith-based decision,” said Adam, a 30-year-old in his fifth major league season. “So it’s a hard decision. Because ultimately we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome and loved here. But when we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it’s just a lifestyle that maybe — not that they look down on anybody or think differently — it’s just that maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior, just like [Jesus] encourages me as a heterosexual male to abstain from sex outside of the confines of marriage. It’s no different.

“It’s not judgmental. It’s not looking down,” Adam continued. “It’s just what we believe the lifestyle he’s encouraged us to live, for our good, not to withhold. But again, we love these men and women, we care about them, and we want them to feel safe and welcome here.”

The event at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg was timed to take place near the start of Pride Month. In a statement last week, President Biden said an “onslaught of dangerous anti-LGBTQI+ legislation has been introduced and passed in States across the country.”

The Rays’ home state made headlines earlier this year when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed legislation referred to by some as the “Don’t Say Gay” law. Parents “should be protected from schools using classroom instruction to sexualize their kids as young as 5 years old,” DeSantis said in a statement.

Critics have said the Parental Rights in Education bill, which bans discussion of LGBTQ issues in classrooms for kindergarten through third grade and includes restrictions for older students, has intentionally vague language meant to marginalize, stigmatize and silence LGBTQ people.

Rays center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, who reportedly wore the rainbow-accented uniform Saturday, said after that game that the Pride Night event “shows that we want everyone to feel welcomed and included when you come to Tropicana Field.”

In athletes’ forceful response to Uvalde, advocates see ‘a tipping point’

“My parents taught me to love everyone as they are,” the 32-year-old Kiermaier said (via mlb.com). “Go live your life. Whatever your preferences are, go be you.”

Rays Manager Kevin Cash said Saturday that he “certainly” hoped internal division had not emerged from a discussion about LGBTQ issues that had taken place among his players. The manager, in his eighth season with Tampa Bay, claimed his players had come to respect differing perspectives.

“First and foremost, I think the organization has done a really good thing to have Pride Nights supporting our gay community to come out and have a nice night at the ballpark,” Cash said (via the Associated Press). “Impressed that our players have had those conversations and we want to support our players that choose to wear or choose not to wear to the best of our capabilities.”

In an online exchange with media personality Keith Olbermann, who challenged Adam’s characterization of the teachings of Jesus, the pitcher tweeted: “I promise you my intention was never to shame anyone. My greatest desire is to love and live like Jesus every day.”

In addition to the special uniforms, the Rays marked Pride Night by giving away miniature pride flags and donating to a local inclusive health and wellness organization.

The franchise’s previous gestures have included becoming, in 2015, one of the first sports teams to sign an amicus brief with the Supreme Court that supported same-sex marriage and honoring victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando during its Pride Night in 2016.

“It’s an important night for our organization and an opportunity for us to emphasize inclusivity overall,” team president Matt Silverman said. “We lived as a community through the Pulse nightclub shooting and understand the importance of nights like this to signal to our fans and our community the open invitation to come enjoy baseball, and I know our overall message is of inclusivity.”

The team also recently spoke out on the issue of gun violence. In the wake of mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, Tex., the Rays issued a statement last month saying “we cannot become numb” to such episodes and pledging to make a donation to a national gun violence prevention organization.

Several days later, DeSantis vetoed $35 million in a state spending plan that would have gone toward a youth sports complex touted as a possible future spring training site for the Rays. The governor, a gun-rights supporter, subsequently said he does not “support giving taxpayer dollars to professional sports stadiums” and that it is “also inappropriate to subsidize political activism of a private corporation.”

New uniforms for Cardinals are “on the radar”

Getty Images

The Cardinals last changed their uniforms in 2005, opting for a then-trendy piping-and-side-panels look. They could be closing in on ditching their outdated duds.

In a wide-ranging radio appearance that addressed more important questions regarding key players like Kyler Murray and Chandler Jones and head coach Kliff Kingsbury, Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill suggested that a uniform alteration could be coming.

“We look at all these things,” Bidwill told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, via Jeremy Cluff of the Arizona Republic. “You probably know, these things, there’s a timeline for them. It takes time. It’s something among the array of things we look at around the team, it’s on the radar screen, so, appreciate the question. . . . We’re going to honor tradition at the same time. Again, It’s part of the array of things we look at. It’s on the radar screen.”

Uniform changes must be approved at least a year in advance. The Cardinals can implement a revised look for the 2023 season.

The franchise always has been hamstrung by a nickname that doesn’t really cry out “football.” The white helmet with the profile of a mildly-perturbed bird is iconic because it has endured for so long.

Packers unveil new 1950s throwback uniforms to wear in Week 7

The Packers will wear a new-old uniform set on Sunday against the Washington Football Team, paying homage to the 1950s.

The uniforms don’t differentiate much from the current getup: simplistic with green heavily featured. It’s a heavier dose of green than usual, with the pants almost completely devoid of yellow.

The other unique feature is the absence of the iconic “G” logo, which usually sits in the center of the helmet. Green Bay will roll with logoless lids, just as they did in the ’50s. However you might feel about the amount of green in the uniform, I think we can all agree it’s a steep upgrade over the 1937-1948 alternates that the team donned from 2015-2019. They were an eye sore, as you can see below.

That is one of the ugliest uniforms you’ll ever see on an NFL field, next to the Steelers bumblebee throwbacks. The Packers will hope the new set of throwbacks will be a hit, both on the field and in merchandise sales.
