The Colors of the Open, What Golfers Will Wear in PA
Forget Tiger and Rory, possibly the best “uniforms” we’ll see at this week’s U.S. Open golf tourney at Merion Golf Club in Pennsylvania could come from Kevin Chappell’s Nike wardrobe.

Indiana Football Announces New Helmet. Wait, FIVE New Helmets
Apparently all uniform design these days is either boring or ugly. Well, at least according to the notoriously picky and overly-dramatic internet. Indiana football certainly chose their side of the decision by doing what comes all-too-naturally to colleges these days by pandering the to the tastes of 18-year-old recruits and
Carolina Hurricanes Unveil New, Classic Uniforms
