The Best and Worst Detroit Red Wings Jerseys
As summer continues, focus shifts to the Detroit Red Wings' public relations team and other parts of the organization as they begin preparing ways to keep fans engaged and excited for the upcoming season. This period often marks the start of behind-the-scenes planning, with one of the most anticipated developments being the possible introduction of a Centennial jersey.

It is widely expected that the team will wear a commemorative patch to celebrate its 100th anniversary. However, there is also growing speculation about the return of a third jersey that could feature a classic version of the Winged Wheel logo. With this in mind, it is a fitting time to revisit some of the most iconic and controversial jerseys in the Red Wings' 100-year history.
Best: Classic Home and Away (2007-Present)

The winged wheel is widely recognized as one of the best jerseys in all of sports with the classic automotive feel that comes with the City of Detroit and it's nickname the Motor City. The minor tweaks over the decades have kept the jersey feeling new but also classic at the same time. Simplicity can work and not work in some cases and these jerseys hit it out of the park with the striping on the arms as well as clean numbers and nameplates.

Worst: Reverse Retro (2021)

The mark of simplicity hits with the classic home and away sweaters but it's because of the red and white color scheme. This sweater misses the mark as the grey accents instead of the red make it hard to see when playing on the ice, making it appear like a practice jersey. The reintroduction of Red into the pants just make this sweater a complete mess and was a rare miss for a franchise that normally hits home runs.

Best: Winter Classic (2014)

A total home run by the Red Wings franchise as they introduce one of the best jerseys in their franchises history. This jersey set the standard for how epic and memorable teams can make their outdoor game jerseys could be as this one became a staple of the hockey community, becoming a regular sight at Red Wings games and a popular favorite in video games like EA Sports' NHL series.
Worst: Stadium Series (2025)

The most recent addition to Detroit's regular jersey rotation is one that some would already like to forget. The script Detroit wording across the front is a new bold take that hits in some respects as a standalone jersey but the wings on the helmets make fans have to look twice to make sure they are seeing the right thing.

The stripe down the middle making this uniform appear like a football jersey makes it a big swing and a miss as the entire look appears disorganized and disjointed. It also doesn't help the player socks aren't very creative with very little details.

Lionel Messi extends MLS record-breaking streak, scoring two goals against Nashville SC
Lionel Messi scored two goals in Inter Miami's 2-1 victory over Nashville SC on Saturday, extending his record-breaking streak of scoring multiple goals in a Major League Soccer game to five. Victory marked Miami's fifth consecutive win too and snapped Nashville's 15-match unbeaten streak in the league. Messi opened the scoring in the 17th minute, threading a free kick from just outside the box through a hole in Nashville's defensive wall and into the corner of the net, past the outstretched fingertips of goalkeeper Joe Willis. That gave Miami a 1-0 lead until Nashville equalized just after halftime when Hany Mukhtar headed in Andy Nájar's perfectly-weighted cross. A little over 10 minutes later, Messi put Miami back in front, capitalizing on a mistake from Willis who simply passed the ball to the Argentinian as he tried to clear it. Although Willis tried to atone for his lapse in concentration, Messi simply dribbled the ball around him and fired in an easy winner. Not since 2012 when he played for Barcelona has Messi scored more than one goal in five consecutive league games, according to ESPN – though, admittedly, LaLiga is a very different league to the MLS. 'There aren't very many words. It's incredible what he continues to do,' Miami head coach Javier Mascherano told reporters afterward, per MLS. 'To break great records now every three days… I've said it a thousand times today; he is the flag for our team. 'He is the one. He's the leader. He shows us the way to compete.' Messi has scored 16 goals so far this season – with 10 of those, as well as five assists – coming in his last five games. Miami, meanwhile, is fifth in the Eastern Conference but with three games in hand on all the teams above them. A win in all three games – while no small feat – would put the team top of the league.

Diamondbacks reach All-Star break; home series with NL wild-card contender looms
The Diamondbacks head into the All-Star break following their game on Sunday, July 13, in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels. Right-hander Merrill Kelly is scheduled to take the mound in the last game of the first half of the season (though the Diamondbacks have played more than half of their regular-season games), trying to maintain his run of good starts. Advertisement After that, Ketel Marte, Eugenio Suarez and Corbin Carroll head to Atlanta for the All-Star festivities. The rest of the team takes a four-day break before the Diamondbacks resume play on July 18 at home against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals are one of the teams ahead of the Diamondbacks in the chase for a wild-card spot in the National League, giving some importance to the three-game series from July 18-20 for both teams. Second baseman Brendan Donovan, far and away the team leader in hits, is the Cardinals' lone All-Star this year. Veteran right-hander Sonny Gray has been the most consistent starting pitcher for the Cardinals. He leads the team in wins and strikeouts and has one complete game this season. It's Kids Free Weekend at Chase Field as the Diamondbacks offer up to two free tickets for those age 15 and under when an adult purchases a ticket. The offer is good for all three games of the series. Advertisement July 19 features a Marte bobblehead giveaway for the first 20,000 fans to arrive at the stadium.
