Ranking the uniforms in the Women's College World series
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

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

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.

Tampa Bay Rays to call up Bob Seymour
The Tampa Bay Rays are in some serious need of thump and they are addressing it by bringing up Bob Seymour. The 26-year old first baseman has been one of the most prolific power hitters in the Rays system since being selected in the 13th round of the 2021 draft. Seymour has consistently been among the top performing hitters in the Rays system, working his way up to Triple-A Durham in June 2024. However, as much raw power as Seymour possessed, he has never garnered much clout as a prospect. Following his midseason promotion in 2024, Seymour put up ridiculous slugging numbers in Triple-A as he hit .269/.353/.601 with 19 HR over just 218 PA (that's a 52 HR pace over 600 PA). Despite this, the Rays left him off of their 40-man roster in November and made Seymour eligible for the Rule 5 draft. Baseball America wrote about Seymour as the Rule 5 draft and suggested that Seymour's susceptibility to striking may lead to teams passing on him; he wasn't selected. Thus, Seymour returned to Triple-A Durham for the 2025 season and picked up where he left off and has vastly improved his strikeout rate while still maintaining a high slugging percentage. Entering play on Friday, Seymour leads the International League with 30 HR and has the 6th highest SLG% in the International League with a 25.7% strikeout rate which is around average (22.4%). Seymour has now played a full season in Triple-A (162 games) According to Baseball America, Seymour flashes 80-raw power and sometimes gets it into games, like he did earlier this year when he blasted a ball 463 feet; Baseball America says the exit velocity was 117.9mph; the exit velocity would be the 12th hardest hit ball in the MLB this season and the hardest hit ball in Tampa Bay Rays history since baseball savant began tracking. Over his entire minor league career, Seymour is hitting .283/.361/.522 with 89 HR, registering a 135 wRC+ over 1736 plate appearances. It will be my suggestion that when Seymour plays his first home game for the Rays, the fans in right field should embrace him with Feed me Seymour signs and chants. There has been a hole in the Rays lineup since Jonathan Aranda went down with an injury on July 31st and the team is hoping that Bob Seymour may be able to add some thump from the left-hand side as they begin a three-game series tonight against the San Francisco Giants.

Florida basketball coach Todd Golden ranked No. 10 in Top 50 coaches list. Is that too low?
College Basketball Report released its Top 50 coaches in college basketball on August 14. Coming off leading Florida basketball to a national championship, Florida basketball coach Todd Golden cracked the top 10 of the list at No. 10. Overall, Golden is 76-33 in three seasons with the Florida Gators, with two NCAA Tournament appearances. At 39 years old last April, Golden became the youngest coach since the late Jim Valvano in 1983 to win a national title when he guided UF to a dramatic 65-63 win over Houston in the 2025 national title game. Of the nine coaches ranked ahead of Golden, only three have won national championships. Dan Hurley, ranked No. 1, led UConn to back-to-back national titles in 2023 and 2024. Rick Pitino, at No. 4, led Kentucky to a national title in 1996 and Louisville to a national championship in 2013. Bill Self, at No. 6, led Kansas to national titles in 2008 and 2022. Nate Oats, who led Alabama to one Final Four in 2024 and Bruce Pearl, who led Auburn to Final Fours in 2019 and 2025, are ranked seventh and eighth. Golden is 4-2 head-to-head against Oats and 3-2 head-to-head against Pearl. Given those results, Golden should probably be ranked at least ahead of Oats, if not Pearl, and closer to the top five range. Of course, Golden will get a chance to further cement his status as an elite coach in 2025-26, with starting foward Alex Condon, starting center Rueben Chinyelu and star sixth man Thomas Haugh returning in an effort to defend UF's national title. UF opens the 2025-26 season against Arizona in Las Vegas, Nev., on Nov, 3. Kevin Brockway is The Gainesville Sun's Florida beat writer. Contact him at kbrockway@ Follow him on X @KevinBrockwayG1.

Messi available to return from injury for Inter Miami, Mascherano says
Lionel Messi is expected to be part of Inter Miami's matchday squad on Saturday, when the club hosts the defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy at Chase Stadium. Head coach Javier Mascherano told reporters on Friday that Messi is cleared to rejoin the team after missing Miami's last two matches with a right leg injury. Advertisement 'Leo is fine. He's been training with the team since Wednesday,' Mascherano said. 'Barring anything strange today, he should make the squad for Saturday's match.' Messi injured his hamstring on August 2 in the first half of Miami's win over Necaxa in the Leagues Cup. He has since sat out of Miami's matches against Pumas, a 3-1 win for the MLS side, and a 4-1 defeat to Orlando City last Sunday in an MLS regular season game that humbled Mascherano's men. Without Messi, Miami was outplayed in Orlando. The attacking edge and competitiveness that Messi adds were glaring omissions on the day — something that Mascherano could not replace against their Florida rivals. 'This can't happen again,' the manager said after the loss. Miami currently sits sixth in the Eastern Conference with three games in hand following participation in the Club World Cup this summer. The chances are still there for Miami to make up ground and challenge for the conference's top seed and another Supporters' Shield. Still, managing Messi's fitness ahead of a busy final two weeks of August could determine how eager Mascherano is to go all-out in both the regular season and Leagues Cup. And after signing Messi's Argentina teammate Rodrigo De Paul this summer, Miami's MLS Cup aspirations were further underscored. Miami has reached the Leagues Cup quarterfinals, too, and awaits a date with tournament contender Tigres next Wednesday. After Miami's first win of the tournament over Atlas, Messi told Apple TV that Leagues Cup is a tournament 'that we want to win.' Orlando City, Seattle and the Galaxy joined Miami as the four MLS teams to advance from the group stage. The winner, runner up and third-place team all qualify for the Concacaf Champions Cup. That competition is obviously important to Miami – it is MLS's potential gateway to the next Club World Cup – so one shouldn't expect Mascherano to take it lightly. It's also imperative for Messi, 38, to maintain his match fitness by playing in meaningful matches. Messi is currently tied with Nashville SC striker Sam Surridge for the top spot in the MLS Golden Boot race with 18 goals. Advertisement Messi was suspended by MLS for Miami's league match against FC Cincinnati on July 26 after opting out of the league's All-Star Game July 23. Upon his return against Atlas in Leagues Cup, Messi said that he needed to avoid missing games in order to compete at his highest level. Rest is one thing, but to lose his match fitness during an important stretch of games for Miami is clearly a concern for the Argentina captain. In September, the defending world champions will close out their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a home match in Buenos Aires against Venezuela, followed by an away test in Quito, Ecuador. Those two games are more than likely Messi's last qualifiers as Argentina's captain and World Cup hero. And even though Argentina has already qualified, it's conceivable that he'd like to be available to celebrate La Albiceleste's dominant campaign. The Argentina Football Federation will hope to feature Messi during the October and November FIFA international windows as well. This season was always going to be a heavier lift for Messi and Miami with the addition of the Club World Cup to an already congested schedule. Lessons will have certainly been learned after Miami ran out of gas in the first round of the MLS playoffs last season, crashing out against Atlanta United in one of the biggest playoff upsets in league history.
