📸 Dividing opinion: this is Schalke's new third kit
Things are heating up on social media. Schalke 04 officially unveiled its alternate jersey for the 2025/26 season today - and many fans were already steamed. But why?
Instead of the typical royal blue, the third jersey shines in orange. Schalke is thus harking back to old times: as early as 2006/07 and 2009/10, S04 occasionally played in orange.
Other fans, on the other hand, liked the jersey better than initially thought.

Rory McIlroy isn't letting ‘home' British Open get the best of him this time
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — At this time six years ago, Rory McIlroy was already on his way home, heartbroken about missing the cut in his first 'home' British Open. McIlroy famously missed the cut at the 2019 Open the last time it was played at Portrush, a course 60 miles from his boyhood home and where he set the course record at the time with a 61 at age 16. Advertisement This time at Portrush, McIlroy is very much in the mix to chase a second Claret Jug after shooting a second-round 69 on Friday to stand at 3-under par. That was five shots off the lead when McIlroy completed his round, with players still in the midst of their rounds. 'Another solid day,'' McIlroy said afterward. 'A couple under, improved a little bit on (Thursday), hit it in play a little bit more off the tee, which was nice to have some looks out of the fairway and into some of these greens.'' Indeed, one day after McIlroy hit only 3-of-14 fairways, he hit half of them on Friday. A day after hitting 12-of-18 greens in regulation, he was on 14 of them Friday. Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy hits his tee shot on the 14th hole during the second round. REUTERS Advertisement 'It was a good day,'' he said. 'I feel like I maybe could be a couple closer to the lead, but overall in a decent position heading into the weekend.'' McIlroy said he's 'excited for that opportunity'' to play on the weekend this time at Portrush. 'I didn't have this opportunity six years ago, so to play an extra two days in this atmosphere in front of these crowds, I'm very excited for that,'' he said. 'I feel like my game's definitely good enough to make a run.'' Advertisement Looking back on 2019, when he shot himself out of the tournament with an opening-round 79, McIlroy said, 'I feel like I let myself down more than I let the fans down, but I definitely felt like it was a hard pill to swallow. 'This time, I've just gotten better. I know what I need to do to get the best out of myself in an environment like that. I've been somewhat close to my best over the first two days in little bits here and there. I'm going to need to have it all under control and have it sort of all firing over the weekend to make a run. Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy waits beside the 5th green on day two of the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush. AFP via Getty Images 'It's incredible to play in front of these fans,'' he went on. 'It was 20 years ago that I played the North of Ireland here, and never in my wildest dreams did I think that I'd be coming back as a Grand Slam champion with the support of a nation behind me trying to win an Open Championship. I count myself very grateful and very lucky that I'm in this position, and I'm excited for the weekend.''

Chiefs' Chris Jones voted top interior defensive lineman by AP panel
The one main constant on Kansas City's defense during a run of seven straight appearances in the AFC title game has been defensive tackle Chris Jones. While Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have carried the offense, Jones has done the same on the defensive end for the Chiefs with his knack of creating pressure at key moments playing a crucial role in Kansas City's success. That helped Jones win the honor of being voted the top interior defensive lineman in the league by The Associated Press. A panel of eight AP Pro Football Writers ranked the top five players at interior defensive line, basing selections on current status entering the 2025 season. First-place votes were worth 10 points. Second through fifth-place votes were worth 5, 3, 2 and 1 points. Jones got seven of the eight first-place votes to go with one second to win the voting easily. Two other players were on all eight ballots with Dexter Lawrence of the New York Giants getting the other first-place vote to come in second and Philadelphia's Jalen Carter finishing third. Pittsburgh's Cam Heyward finished fourth and Quinnen Williams of the Jets came in fifth. Seattle's Leonard Williams, Tennessee's Jeffery Simmons, Denver's Zach Allen and Carolina's Derrick Brown also received votes. 1. CHRIS JONES, Kansas City Chiefs Jones' sack total of five last season was his lowest since his rookie season in 2016 but he still earned his third straight All-Pro selection after finishing second among all interior defensive linemen with 74 pressures in the regular season, according to Pro Football Focus. Jones' 72 sacks over the past seven seasons rank tied for fifth overall in that span and tied with Aaron Donald for the most among interior linemen. 2. DEXTER LAWRENCE, New York Giants While most of the other players who got votes at interior defensive line are '3 technique' tackles who line up on the outside shoulder of the guards, Lawrence mostly plays nose tackle directly over the center. Those players are typically run stoppers since it is easier to double-team them in the pass game but Lawrence thrives at both. He had a career-high nine sacks in 12 games last season and his 103 pressures when lined up as a nose tackle the past three seasons are 80 more than any other player, according to PFF. 3. JALEN CARTER, Philadelphia Eagles Carter was the anchor of Philadelphia's Super Bowl-winning defense last season. He has 10 1/2 sacks and 102 total pressures in the regular season in his first two years, according to PFF, and helps free up the edge rushers for the Eagles because he warrants so many double teams. 4. CAM HEYWARD, Pittsburgh Steelers Heyward has shown no signs of aging as heads into this season at age 36. He had eight sacks last season when he earned his fourth first-team All-Pro selection. He has 63 1/2 sacks and 91 tackles for loss in the past eight seasons, earning Pro Bowl bids in seven of them. 5. QUINNEN WILLIAMS, New York Jets Williams' production dipped last season as the Jets' defense struggled overall but he has been a consistent performer since being drafted third overall in 2019. He still has 176 pressures and 23 1/2 sacks the past three seasons. ___ AP NFL:
