These were the best option of a bad bunch of options. None of the uniforms in this set were good. This is just the most like a normal uniform that they had.

I don't think white pants work with a silver helmet. And the stripe should include green as well. I feel the same way about the monotone blue setup.

Officially they still do, but they are fourth choice since they've added the white helmet.

I'm going to guess this should be happening for all of the teams, but at least the Brahmas have announced a meet and greet at the Alamodome for season ticket holders. Unfortunately, I don't know if there would be any players involved since they should be getting ready for training camps the next week.

I would expect that people are looking more forward to the knockout rounds than group matches. I think the only reason we'll see any potential groups of death is that the USA, Mexico, and Canada are likely to get the lower end teams in the tournament, but we'll see how they work that. Maybe freezing a few ping pong balls?

I'm probably looking at catching matched in Houston, regardless of who plays. Especially since tickets should actually be cheaper than USMNT games. The game in San Antonio last month had tickets as much as $185. That's half a season ticket for San Antonio FC for most of the seats.

They are the first team announced for this year's tournament https://thetournament.com/tst/ This year's tournaments are split between a men's and women's tournament. The men are holding a 48 team tournament and the women are holding an 8 team tournament. No teams have been announced yet for the ladies.

This was pretty much known going in, because this was agreed ahead of time. It's why Azteca hosts the first game instead of SoFi. As far as the nicknames, Fox is still covering this World Cup so I'd expect them to still call it by those names, especially that mop headed goofball that made a career out of a middling national team career. At least until FIFA complains.

I remember someone playing in the XFL in 2020 was also draft eligible. I think he was actually drafted, but I don't remember if he made the roster.

San Antonio

Since this has been the way in FIFA forever, probably not. Sometimes a stadium "forgets" to cover the stadium sponsors logos and get a talking to. AT&T also has a soda deal with Pepsi, but will have to serve Coca Cola during World Cup games due to sponsorship.

If it's the turf, it's just for picture days. The game will be played on grass.

Breakdown of what they'll provide for the game.

Interesting sighting at the East-West Shrine Bowl https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/toronto-argonauts-qwan-tez-stiggers-invited-to-participate-in-east-west-shrine-bowl-game-1.2063993 He's NFL draft eligible which is why he earned an invitation to the game: "Qwan'Tez Stiggers will be playing pro football in 2024. He just doesn't know where yet. The six-foot, 197-pound cornerback was the CFL's top rookie last season with the Toronto Argonauts and remains under contract with the club. However, Stiggers is also eligible for the '24 NFL draft and certainly has caught the eye of scouts south of the border. He'll have another chance to impress. On Wednesday, Stiggers was invited to play in the East-West Shrine Bowl on Feb. 1 in Frisco, Texas. A solid performance there could land Stiggers an invitation to the NFL combine, slated for Indianapolis from Feb. 29 to March 3. The draft goes April 25-27 in Detroit".

O/W/O looks better though. I understand uniformity has it's place, but sometimes you need to go with the better look. And as far as matching the sleeves. It doesn't match the sleeves on the home jersey, not that they'd wear O/B/B with the primaries. They should be uniform to that shirt since the white pants are uniform to the white shirt.

As much as we like to blame Nike for teams rolling with plain pants, the teams have the final say, unless the NFL overrules them in the case of the Browns all brown color rashes, that they didn't want to add TV numbers to, but still let them wear plain brown pants. While we're here, why can't they add a white stripe for the brown pants that are still in rotation?

It works because it's Army. It also works because there's the outline that separates it from the jersey. The space that's there on that Washington concept is too large.

I could see this being used for the Finals and the In Season Tournament, where the NBA can change the court ads in real time instead of leaving it up to the individual broadcasters to do in house.

This could be interesting. Smart move to not have the main event played on it though. Apparently FIBA has been using a court like this as well.

Game times won't be locked in until the draw, but we have the full stadium calendar.

Having them play Houston away should be a good gauge of how well this team could travel, especially since it's a 3:00 kickoff. Playing a much more balanced schedule should help pack the dome as well.
