Carlisle United reveal new home kit
Carlisle United have revealed their new home kit for the 2025/26 season.
The Cumbrians confirmed the design of the home strip in an announcement on Wednesday evening.
The Umbro kit - the look of which had been widely leaked on social media in recent days - features blue, white and red vertical stripes.

It appears to be a home version of the famous 1994/95 'deckchair' away strip, whose green, red and white striped design became iconic.
Carlisle will wear the home equivalent at Brunton Park in the new National League season which gets under way on August 9.
It replaces the 2024/25 version, which was an homage to the famous blue, red and white 'toothpaste' kit which Carlisle wore in the mid-1970s, including their 1974/75 season in the First Division.
The new home shirt is accompanied by blue shorts, with red and white trim, and blue socks.
It again features Aqua Pura as United's main shirt sponsor, after the Cumbrian mineral water firm recently extended their deal with the club for another three years.

The new home kit is available to buy online straight away, and also goes on sale in the Blues Store to season ticket holders from 12pm on Thursday.
United have increased the price of a shirt this season, with an adult shirt now costing £48.
Children's shirts are £37.

Toddler kit (shirt and shorts) is £40, with a baby kit (shirt and shorts) also £40.
United have also revealed their lime green home goalkeeping kit. Prices for goalkeeping kits are the same as the outfield kit.
The club's new away kit will be unveiled at 6pm next Wednesday.
The Blues did not comment on the leaked images of the kits ahead of the home kit's launch, which featured players such as Cameron Harper, Sam Hetherington, Dan Hopper and Callum Whelan, as well as supporters wearing the new home top.
Speaking ahead of the launch, the club's chief executive Nigel Clibbens said: "The purchase cost of shirts paid by the club has increased this year again. After holding prices last year and absorbing as much of this year's increase as we could, we have had to raise the price this time.

'Each year we look very closely at the cost paid by fans and benchmark against other clubs and they still remain in line or lower than most.'
Retail manager Stef Mclean said United were "thrilled" with the new designs and believed fans would "love them."

Jackson Hopkins scores 1st MLS goal for DC United in 1-1 tie with Montreal
MONTREAL -- Jackson Hopkins scored his first goal in MLS on Saturday night for D.C. United in a 1-1 tie with CF Montreal. D.C. (4-15-8) snapped five-game road losing streak. Hopkins, a 21-year-old homegrown in his fourth MLS season, opened the scoring in the 28th minute. The 6-foot-2 midfielder bent a low shot from the top of the penalty arc inside the left post to give United a 1-0 lead. Caden Clark re-directed a misplayed pass by Aarón Herrera to Prince Owusu, who fed a charging Luca Petrasso for the finish from the edge of the 6-yard box to make it 1-1 in the 41st. United's Luis Barraza stopped two shots. Montreal (4-15-8) is unbeaten in three consecutive games for the first time this season. Thomas Gillier had two saves for Montreal. The 21-year-old made his first career start last Saturday in a 1-1 tie with Atlanta. The teams played to a 0-0 tie on March 13.

What is Team Trump thinking when it comes to future of Fannie, Freddie?
-- Team Trump is exploring ways to monetize the U.S. government's stakes in mortgage giants Fannie Mae (OTC:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTC:FMCC), with an initial sale of up to $30 billion possible 'as soon as this winter,' according to TD Cowen. The White House's focus is on 'the government realizing a return rather than on the GSEs raising new capital,' the analysts said, adding that under the plan, 'GSEs stay in conservatorship' with 'an implicit government backstop.' TD Cowen cautioned that 'having the government monetize its investments in Fannie and Freddie is more complex than it may appear.' Key hurdles include 'shareholder rights,' 'control of the boards of directors,' 'valuation,' 'commitment fee,' and 'limits on what the GSEs may do,' as well as the 'potential to merge the GSEs prior to any sales.' The bank said there is 'a path' for President Donald Trump to move forward, but it would require 'political risks that could impact both his popular support and GOP prospects in the midterm election.' Despite those challenges, TD Cowen sees 'reason for optimism' that the administration could begin sales, even if not by winter. One possibility is that 'Trump could just do it regardless of political and market risk,' a tactic the firm calls 'the tariff approach,' akin to his trade policy decisions. Another option could be selling a stake to 'a foreign sovereign wealth fund' or transferring control of the holdings to 'a newly created domestic sovereign wealth fund,' both of which TD Cowen said 'could involve less market and political risk.'
