📸 Back to basics: Atleti unveil their new 2025/26 kit
"They put stripes on me, mattress scoundrels", as Joaquín Sabina used to sing. And as if it were a premonition, Atlético de Madrid unveiled on Thursday morning what will be their new jersey for the next season.
A jersey that remains faithful to the classic style of the red and white history, with five vertical red stripes alternating with four white ones, accompanied by a white collar with a 'vintage' design that gives it a unique character. In addition, the shield, highlighted by a yellow border, stands out with greater clarity in the set.

Mets program helping Ronny Mauricio and other Latin American players learn English: ‘I feel like we have one of the best programs'
While in Los Angeles last week, Ronny Mauricio was struck by the amount of palm trees he saw. They line the streets from the beach to about 100 miles east in the suburbs, they dot the landscapes on every corner, and they're featured prominently around Dodger Stadium, the biggest and loudest stadium Mauricio had ever experienced. The Mets infielder, called up to the big leagues for the first time since September 2023, struggled to remember the translation for the trees, so he described them in detail using stellar English. Advertisement A native of the Dominican Republic, Mauricio already possesses some high-end tools, and he added another one while he was sidelined in 2024 with an ACL injury by working on his English. Describing the visual images of the iconic Southern California trees was important for Mauricio, who is trying to continually talk to his teammates, coaches and even the media in English to become fluent and conversational. 'I'm trying to talk everyday with the guys in here and with my teacher too,' Mauricio told the Daily News. 'So we try to just speak in English. If there is something I don't know, I try to ask somebody to learn more.' Mauricio is utilizing a program offered by the Mets designed to ease language barriers between players and staff. The 7 Facts Learning Management System offers resources in both Spanish and English, and is available for members of the team at all levels of the organization to support player development. It addresses language learning and baseball development using seven components: Leadership support, multilingual support, mobile-friendly learning, video-based training, cultural adaptation and acculturation training, and and through progress tracking and feedback. It integrates AI learning, helps with baseball-specific terms, addresses social media and personal branding, nutrition and fitness, and interview preparation. Advertisement The program drew high praise from manager Carlos Mendoza, one of only three active MLB managers born in Latin America. 'I feel like we have one of the best programs when it comes to the education of our Latin American players,' he said. The Venezuelan skipper was encouraged by his mother, an English teacher, to learn the language growing up. Mendoza is lauded by just about everyone around the Mets and Yankees for his strong communication abilities in both languages, with his bilingual abilities playing right into that. But even Mendoza had to get used to public speaking and talking to the media when he came to Queens, since his previous job as a bench coach didn't require dealing with reporters on a daily basis. It's intimidating, and Mendoza knows this first-hand. Advertisement 'It's not easy at all,' Mendoza said. 'Credit the players, and credit our program. Whether it's player development or here at the big league level, we continue to educate those guys. Not only giving them the ability [to communicate in English], but to go out there and face you guys with the cameras and all that, it's not easy.' At a time when new consumers and athletes alike struggle to understand what function media plays in sports and how to differentiate between different types of media members, the Mets are helping their young Spanish-speaking players navigate a key part of professional sports. The media is present on the road and at home, with a traveling media party that consists of in-house media like SNY and the team radio broadcasters, as well as newspaper beat reporters and sometimes even national insiders. Fans typically get to know players through social media and through writers and reporters. Players can benefit from the media by using them to set the record straight when a false narrative takes hold, they can add color or context to a story, or take accountability when it's needed. MLB teams are required to provide players with full-time translators, but having a third party present for interviews isn't always ideal. Sometimes, you just want to tell your own story and make your own connections. Advertisement Outside of baseball, it's a way for Mauricio to connect with his son Liam. Now 5, Liam is learning English right alongside his dad. Knowing his baseball life would primarily be in the States, Mauricio enrolled him at a school in Florida where he stays with the infielder's mother. 'For my son, I want him to go to a school where they're teaching him how to live life [here] and everything,' Mauricio said. 'He's started speaking it now, he's in school learning English.' Liam's English is coming along, and he's happy in the school, even if he misses his father. 'He just told me, 'Papi, when are you coming back?' Papi, when do I see you?' Mauricio said. Advertisement The 24-year-old Mauricio will soon bring him to New York so he can see him play in the big leagues again, and remember it this time as well. During his last call-up, Liam was too young to fully grasp the magnitude of the moment. If it works out, maybe he'll get to see his dad do something just as impressive as hitting a home run: doing an interview on-camera in a different language. 'You've got to remember that,' Mauricio said.

Douglas McCarthy, Nitzer Ebb Vocalist, Dies Aged 58
Douglas McCarthy, the co-founding vocalist of English industrial dance outfit Nitzer Ebb, has passed away at the age of 58. McCarthy's death was confirmed by Nitzer Ebb's official social media account on Tuesday (June 11). 'It is with a heavy heart that we regret to inform that Douglas McCarthy passed away this morning of June 11th, 2025,' a post read. More from Billboard Woman Arrested for Attempted Break-In at BTS Jung Kook's Residence on the Day of His Military Discharge Carín León Is Ready to Prove He's The 'Missing Link' Between Regional Mexican and Country Music The Grammys Add New Country Category for 2026 'We ask everyone to please be respectful of Douglas, his wife, and family in this difficult time,' it added. 'We appreciate your understanding and will share more information soon.' McCarthy co-founded Nitzer Ebb in 1982 alongside school friends Vaughan 'Bon' Harris and David Gooday, with the group taking inspiration from the post-punk genre for their early single releases. That sound soon evolved with more industrial and electronic influences, with the band quickly becoming regarded as noted figures within the 'electronic body music' scene – a genre that combined elements of industrial and punk with dance music. The group's debut album, That Total Age, would be issued in May 1987, and though avoiding chart success, the single 'Join the Chant' would reach No. 9 on the Dance Club Songs charts. Nitzer Ebb would remain a fixture of the chart in the coming years, with singles such as 'Control I'm Here,' 'Lightning Man,' and 'Fun to Be Had' all appearing therein, with the latter giving the band their highest peak when it reached No. 5 in 1990. They would also impact the Alternative Airplay charts, with 1991's 'Family Man' giving them a career high when it reached No. 21. While 1991's Ebbhead would be their only record to reach the Billboard 200 (peaking at No. 146), their follow-up, 1995's Big Hit, would be the band's last for 15 years, with Nitzer Ebb splitting soon after its release. McCarthy would contribute to Recol, the solo project of Depeche Mode's Alan Wilder throughout the '90s, and later collaborate with French producer Terence Fixmer as one half of Fixmer/McCarthy. Nitzer Ebb would reform in 2006 and release their final album, Industrial Complex, in 2010. In 2013, McCarthy would release his only solo album, Kill Your Friends. In recent years, McCarthy had suffered from noted ill health, with Harris taking over vocals for a series of 2021 performances after McCarthy collapsed before a show due to a 'pre-existing' medical condition. In early 2024, McCarthy announced he would no longer be performing live after being diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver.
