FC Barcelona honors Kobe Bryant with 'Mamba Mentality'-inspired road uniforms
Kobe Bryant will always be remembered as a Lakers legend and one of basketball's all-time greats. But in February 2009 — in the middle of his 13th NBA season — Bryant appeared on the cover of ESPN the Magazine wearing another team's uniform and playing an entirely different sport. The cover shot showed Bryant in full FC Barcelona gear and performing some pretty fancy footwork with a soccer ball. In a video for ESPN the Magazine, Bryant explained that he was a longtime soccer fan who had become "captivated" by superstar Ronaldinho, who played for Barca from 2003-2008. "That's how I started following the team," Bryant said, "and from that point forward I just stuck with them.' Now, more than 16 years later, Barcelona players will be wearing Bryant-inspired uniforms. Revealed Tuesday by Nike and Barca, the team's 2025-26 away kits will feature a number of nods toward the late NBA legend and his famous Mamba Mentality. The colors are variations of the Lakers' purple and gold. A snakeskin pattern is featured on the shorts and portions of the jersey. Bryant's "Kobe Sheath" logo appears prominently, including on the upper right section of the jersey where the Nike Swoosh would normally be placed. "Born from a shared obsession with relentless self-improvement, the partnership brings the Kobe Sheath to professional football for the first time through a collection that captures the dedication and values central to Kobe's legacy and Barça's DNA," Nike said in a press release.

In return, Barça recognizes Kobe as a driving force in global sport who lived by the discipline and drive for greatness that defines the club." Barcelona wasn't shy in promoting the new look on Instagram. "Two icons, one shared story," the team wrote in one post. "A collaboration born from mutual admiration and the values that unite us: talent, commitment, and passion." Barca added in another post: "The Mamba Mentality is in us."

'Jason Day Approved': Nelly Korda Mocked For Outfit At AiG Women's Open
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Just days after finishing fifth at the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open at 13-under, Nelly Korda is now at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Wales for her next battle, the AIG Women's Open. The world No. 1 had lost the Scottish title to England's Lottie Woad, who clinched her maiden LPGA win, carding 21-under par on Sunday. Korda, who played alongside Woad for three rounds in Scotland, was full of praise for the 21-year-old. "I was very impressed with her composure, her process," she told reporters during her pre-tournament conference on Tuesday. "When it comes to her shot routine, especially under pressure and in the heat of the moment ... she stuck to her process every single time." However, while her words earned praise, her outfit stole the spotlight, but not in a flattering way. Korda's Tuesday uniform featured an olive green collared shirt with oversized outer pockets and a military-style camouflaged printed pattern, often referred to as a "combat shirt" or "tactical golf shirt".

(Photo by) More Getty Images The look immediately drew comparisons to PGA Tour veteran Jason Day, whose partnership with Malbon Golf has made headlines for pushing the boundaries of traditional golf attire. "Jason Day approved," one fan quipped on X, referring to Day's controversial fashion sense on the greens. Day's fashion has been labeled "hideous" and "Goodwill-ish" by critics, and Korda's outfit seemed to echo that same rebellious tone. Golf Fans mock Nelly Korda's Nike outfit "Lookin like a real 🤡(clown)," one user posted on X under Korda's Tuesday picture. While another commented, "Sick and tired of Nike changing the golf attire and getting away with it. No course allows combats and outer pockets so why is it being allowed? Same with hoodies being worn all the time." "Not good," another fan commented bluntly under the post by Golf Digest. Nelly Korda's Tuesday fit at the AIG Women's Open is incredible. 🔥 — Golf Digest (@GolfDigest) July 29, 2025 Some speculated Korda had simply grabbed the wrong outfit. "Got dressed in the dark," one golf fan typed under the post. Other social media users questioned whether such attire would even be permitted for amateur players. "Can you imagine the reaction at some golf courses if a player rocked up in that? Be frog-marched off the course and police called. lol. Some courses won't even allow non-white socks!" the comment read. What do you think? Let us know in the comments section below!

The war on hot women: Why the woke mob hates Sydney Sweeney
Let's cut the nonsense: liberal women aren't mad at Sydney Sweeney because she's "setting women back." That's just the excuse they're throwing around because they don't want to admit the truth. They're mad because she's young, hot, white, and blonde. And they're mad that corporations are finally waking up to the truth: that the American people are done with woke! If she were 300 pounds and identified as gender-fluid, she'd be hailed as a revolutionary. If she threw her pronouns into every interview, wore a "FEMINIST" crop top to the red carpet, and spouted progressive talking points on cue, they'd be tripping over themselves to give her a GLAAD Award. But because Sydney Sweeney simply exists - confident, traditionally feminine, and not bending the knee to the woke agenda, she's a target. This isn't about feminism. It's about envy. It's about a cultural movement that now punishes beauty, shames femininity, and exalts victimhood as the highest form of virtue. And the hypocrisy? It's off the charts. Where was all this feminist outrage when Dylan Mulvaney, a biological male, was handed women's brand endorsements by Nike, Bud Light, and Maybelline for "celebrating womanhood"? Where were these voices when Mulvaney mocked the female experience with Barbie cosplay and tampon tutorials? Nowhere. In fact, they were applauding. Because in today's woke dystopia, a man pretending to be a woman gets more respect than an actual woman who dares to look like one. Where were these self-proclaimed champions of women's rights when actual female athletes were getting steamrolled by biological males in their own sports? When Lia Thomas was shoving real women off the podium, where was the outrage? Crickets. Because defending the rights of actual women doesn't fit the narrative. It's not politically useful. That's why they loathe women like Sydney Sweeney. She doesn't play along. She's not trying to be edgy. She's not rewriting what it means to be a woman but instead, she's embodying it. Beautifully, confidently, and unapologetically. That's the real threat. The truth is, the modern Left has declared war on hot women. Because hot women don't need to play the victim. Hot women don't need to be coddled or redefined. They don't need to pretend that beauty is a social construct or that femininity is oppressive. They just live it. And that drives the gender-studies crowd insane. Sydney Sweeney represents everything the woke mob hates: effortlessness, elegance, and the refusal to apologize for qualities that used to be admired. In a culture obsessed with "smashing beauty standards," she reminds us that some standards were never the problem. Our culture's new obsession with woke-fueled mediocrity is. This isn't to say that beauty makes someone better but it certainly shouldn't make them worse in the eyes of the media or the public. We've gone from celebrating women for being empowered in their femininity to vilifying them for being conventionally attractive. Feminism, as the Left now defines it, has nothing to do with empowering women. It's about enforcing ideological conformity. If you don't submit to the narrative—whether it's on gender, politics, race, or body positivity—you get attacked. So let's stop pretending this is about Sydney Sweeney. It's not. It's about a movement that tells women they should be anything but what she is: attractive, traditional, proud, and free. Sydney Sweeney didn't set women back. She triggered the insecurities of those who've built their identity on grievance rather than grace. And for that? More power to her.
