Ranking the uniforms in the Women's College World series
The Women's College World Series gets underway on Thursday in Oklahoma City, with eight teams hoping to put their best foot forward in hopes of securing a national championship. The Oklahoma Sooners are hoping to become the first team to win five straight national titles but will face significant challenges from Texas, Florida, Texas Tech, Tennessee, Oregon, UCLA, and Ole Miss. It's one of the best events in college sports, as over the next week and a half, softball will take center stage. As the teams take the field, so will some iconic uniforms. From classics to alternates, there will be some fantastic fits on display in Oklahoma City. Who has the best? 8. Florida Gators Florida infielder Mia Williams (11) fields against Georgia during a NCAA super regionals softball game at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium in Gainesville, FL on Saturday, May 24, 2025. [Alan Youngblood/Gainesville Sun] When you think of the Florida Gators, this is what you picture. It's a uniform that looks like something you'd expect out of a team from Florida. It's a solid look but not quite as nice as some of the others in the Women's College World Series. 7. Oregon Ducks Oregon’s Lyndsey Grein pitches against Weber State during the Eugene NCAA Softball Regional May 17, 2025. The Oregon football team has some of the best looks in college sports. This is the softball team's best uniform. It looks like a storm's brewing and with the way the Ducks have played this season, it's fitting. The only knock is that the all-green and all-yellow looks don't come together quite like some of the other solids in Oklahoma City. 6. Ole Miss Rebels Powder Blue May 25, 2025; Fayetteville, AR, USA; Ole Miss Rebels pitcher Aliyah Binford (4) and her teammates celebrate after the last out against the Arkansas Razorbacks in game three of the Fayetteville Super Regional at Bogle Park. Mandatory Credit: Nelson Chenault-Imagn Images There's a lot of blue on the list, but the Ole Miss Powder Blue is about as good as it gets. 5. UCLA Blue and Gold UCLA Bruins infielder Jordan Woolery (15) celebrates after getting on base Friday, May 9, 2025, during the Big Ten softball tournament game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Purdue University’s Bittinger Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana. UCLA is one of the blue bloods of the sport and their UCLA Blue evokes memories of a long history of success in college softball. They get the blue bump over Ole Miss simply out of respect for what UCLA Blue and Gold have meant to the sport. 4. Texas Longhorns' Icy White The Texas Longhorns celebrate the 6-5 win over Clemson in game 3 of the NCAA D1 Softball Tournament Super Regional at Red and Charline McCombs Field on Saturday, May 24, 2025 in Austin, Texas. The all-whites are a great look, and not only because it minimizes the amount of burnt orange one has to see, but it's reminiscent of their best football look as well. 3. Texas Tech's All Black Texas Tech's NiJaree Canady (24) throws a pitch during the 2025 Phillips 66 Big 12 Softball Championship game between Arizona Wildcats and Texas Tech Red Raiders at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, Saturday, May, 10, 2025. Few athletic programs wear black as well as Texas Tech. With red script and accents, it's an ominous look, especially when the best pitcher in the game, NiJaree Canady, is standing in the circle. 2. Oklahoma Sooners All-Crimson Oklahoma infielder Gabbie Garcia (42) celebrates after hitting a two-run home run in the third inning of Game 2 of an NCAA super regional between the University of Oklahoma (OU) and the Alabama Crimson Tide at Love's Field in Norman, Saturday, May 24, 2025. The Oklahoma Sooners have a lot of really good looks, but none as clean as their all-crimson fit. It's strong and powerful, much like this team. 1. Tennessee Volunteers 'Summitt Blue' The Tennessee softball team does a cheer with Tennessee softball head coach Karen Weekly after winning a NCAA super regionals softball game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers and advancing to the Women's College World Series at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn., on May 25, 2025. Tennessee won 1-0 against Nebraska. When you think of Tennessee, you may not think of the blue they wore to clinch their super regional over Nebraska, but their "Summitt Blue," named after the Lady Vols legendary women's basketball coach Pat Summitt, is fantastic. The white accents, along with the orange lettering, are a great look.

Rolls-Royce unveils one-of-one Black Badge Cullinan Daisy
This week marks the unveiling of another exclusive one-of-one Bespoke Rolls-Royce commission — the Black Badge Cullinan Daisy. Inspired by the client's passion for hiking and the outdoors, the vehicle draws design inspiration from the daisy fields of the High Tatras mountains. The luxury SUV is finished in a soft Powder Blue shade, with a hand-painted daisy flower motif featured as a coachline design. This delicate detail contrasts with the darkened Black Badge Pantheon Grille, Spirit of Ecstasy and other exterior brightwork. Inside, the cabin continues the daisy theme, with the motif elegantly etched into the blackwood veneers of the front fascia and the waterfall section between the rear seats. Rolls-Royce craftsmen achieve this design through a precision blasting process, where fine mineral particles are directed at the veneer to delicately remove microscopic layers of the surface. The result is a sculpted finish that creates a three-dimensional effect, with the interplay of light and shadow adding visual depth. Image: Supplied The cabin's primary leather hue is Fleet Blue, which extends to the Rotary Controls and B and C pillars. It's complemented by Selby Grey and Black leathers, with Fleet Blue piping on the seats and Selby Grey contrast stitching and headrest monograms. The interior is further highlighted by bespoke illuminated treadplates, featuring the daisy design. The daisy motif extends to the bespoke umbrellas, concealed in the rear coach doors. The pattern, visible only inside the umbrellas, evokes the serene image of a daisy field in full bloom on a rainy day. Also included is a bespoke starlight headliner, which features four constellations prominent in the northern hemisphere's night sky: Ursa Major (the Great Bear), Ursa Minor (home to Polaris, the North Star), Gemini (with the bright stars Castor and Pollux), and Taurus (marked by the red giant Aldebaran and the Pleiades star cluster). The Black Badge Cullinan Daisy is equipped with a bespoke recreation module, a deployable storage compartment in the luggage area designed to house the client's preferred hiking gear.
