Australian golfer Jason Day and Malbon Golf have done it again. On Tuesday at the U.S. Open, the Aussie stopped people in their tracks as he wore a bold outfit that featured full-on American flag shorts.
It seemed like the 2015 PGA Championship winner giving a nod to John Daly, who famously rocked similar attire.
This outfit very well could be the 2025 version of last year's Masters vest, but better.
OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 10: Jason Day of Australia looks on during a practice round prior to the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 10, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.

Photo byFans seemed shocked to see an international player don the Red, White and Blue.
As an Australian citizen, Day made an interesting choice, but it again brought so many eyes to Malbon. This brand knows how to draw the eye, and they have a player willing to do it confidently.
It is a massive leap from the sweatsuit he wore Sunday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Many people dislike Malbon because of their non-traditional approach to golf fashion, but this outfit likely won over many haters.
Day wore a navy polo from Malbon's new Eagle Buckets collection. He also donned the white pullover from the latest release with an American star collar with red details.
The fans could not get enough of this patriotic moment, and their reactions were spot on.
One of the best posts about the shorts came from X user, ANTIFAldo, who immediately thought of Daly when he saw Day's outfit, captioning the post "this is John G'Daly."
Daly has worn multiple pairs of American flag pants throughout the years. He is notorious for loud pants and has always been unapologetically himself in them.

Thankfully, Malbon styled it with class because there is a fine line when wearing something as impactful as the American flag. It can get cheesy fast.
Malbon's choices were not cheesy at all, but very stylish. Sure, the pullover had a wild collar, but it was still subtle enough not to overshadow the shorts, which were the clear statement piece.
Leave it up to the Australian golfer to show the Americans how to dress for their national championship.
Day lives in Cleveland, Ohio, but it is bold and surprising of him to break out the full Red, White, and Blue outfit.

Fans seem to be coming around to the wild outfits from Malbon, especially ones that pay respect to this country.
Things have come a long way since April 2024, when the world stopped for Jason Day's vest. These shorts may surpass the popularity of that first viral moment.

Surprising East Team Attempting to Make Major Trade With Spurs: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The NBA offseason is almost in full swing, and many around the league expect this summer to be a wild one. Due to the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), now in place, there will be many teams looking to make some major moves. Teams are now being held to a higher standard with salaries, and front offices will need to be more careful in how they build rosters. The league has put more of an emphasis on drafting and developing players, putting the microscope directly on the upcoming NBA Draft. The 2025 draft class is seen as a strong one, with multiple All-Star caliber players at the top of the list. Duke star Cooper Flagg is likely to be taken No. 1 overall by the Dallas Mavericks, but the draft will really start at pick No. 2. That is currently owned by the San Antonio Spurs, but it seems that the team may be open to dealing the pick. According to NBA insider Michael Scotto, the Philadelphia 76ers are attempting to make a big move for the No. 2 pick. Philadelphia owns the No. 3 pick and could look to swap selections in what would be a big trade. Sources: The 76ers have engaged with the Spurs about potentially moving up to the No. 2 pick. For now, the Sixers have zeroed in on four NBA Draft prospects with the No. 3 pick, including a private workout last week with VJ Edgecombe and Ace Bailey visiting Philadelphia next week — Michael Scotto (@MikeAScotto) June 12, 2025 This article will be updated...

Why This Surprising 1980s Style Is Back In Full Force
In its heyday, the term 'yuppie' felt ubiquitous, even if it only applied to a small slice of the population, and chances were, you were either very pro or very anti. Though the '80s were marked by the younger cohort of well-educated baby boomers flocking to urban areas, transforming their cities of choice both geographically and culturally, the phenomenon still felt like the brief flash of an asteroid in a period defined by a massive variety of expressive styles. (The term enjoyed less than a decade in the limelight: it was first popularized in a Chicago Tribune column in 1983 and the 'death of yuppies' was officially declared following the stock market crash in 1987.) Yuppies wanted to create a 'bigger, better, and shinier ' way of life, Avery Trufelman, host of the popular style podcast Articles of Interest, tells ELLE. These young, upwardly mobile professionals represented a sudden splintering in the middle class, as the income of college-educated Americans disproportionately skyrocketed, and yuppies were right there to spend it, even as the bottom half of American families experienced a significant drop. Cut to 30 years later, swap Dorrian's and The Quilted Giraffe with TikTok's must-visit restaurants, and the trend is back, this time in an even more widespread and pervasive way. You might have noticed it creeping in—faux tennis merch for 'hot girl walks,' run clubs for singles, discourse about how 'nice it is to be a West Village Girl,' flitting to and from Pilates. Health is once again the ultimate symbol of status and wealth, and so is a name-brand wardrobe. That's not to say that designer clothing ever lost its cachet, rather that 2025 yuppies have a renewed brazenness in their spending, and social media-first living has paved the way for luxury athletic capsules, cross-industry collaborations, and influencer-driven 'It' girl brands that have cemented themselves amongst the tiers of traditional luxury. In comparison to last summer's new-wave prep revival, which brought a resurgence of boat shoes and embraced a casual undoneness, thanks to brands like Miu Miu and Wales Bonner, there's a certain overtness that yuppie culture wholeheartedly embraces in its quest for perfection. 'You're looking at the labels. You're asking 'who's wearing what sunglasses?' The bottoms of your khakis aren't frayed—it's very clean,' explains Trufelman. Tennis, golf, and sailing, while traditionally wealthy sports, are extending even further into the zeitgeist of the aspirational mainstream. For yuppies, both then and now, leisure-class and fitness-driven activities promise tantalizing access to a glowing new tier of life filled with suntans, spritzes, and the perfect summer sandals. Earlier this year, Miu Miu launched a rolling series of pop-ups for its 'Gymnasium' collection, offering a selection of low-profile sneakers and elegant American sportswear, two trends that are currently dominating summer dressing. Likewise, Gap recently partnered with Malbon Golf for a course-inspired capsule, Aimé Leon Dore's spring 2025 collection is filled with sailing-themed apparel, and Burberry is taking over The Newt, a country estate and luxury spa in Somerset, for a summer full of bespoke lawn sport experiences. In 2025, access to the yuppie aesthetic is more likely to begin with a name-brand athletic crewneck than with a country club membership. '[Sporty & Rich] was just an aspiration of mine to be part of this world in my own way,' founder Emily Oberg tells ELLE. Since its inception in 2015, her brand has held firm in its popularization of affluent American sport aesthetics. For Oberg, who has both Canadian and Filipino roots, 'it was [about] building something that represented that world, [without] necessarily having to have been born into it.' Current offerings on the website include a collaboration with Adidas in 'court green' colorways, 'Beverly Hills Riding Club' T-shirts, Vendome Tennis Bags, and a 'Health is Wealth' baseball cap in Reagan-era red, white, and blue. Oberg is right. The difference now is almost everyone seems in on it—at least more willingly than before. Letterboxd watch lists like 'Yuppies in Peril' have yet to update to include a Gen Z version, and in the meantime, brands are tapping into the revival as much as popular culture is heralding it. Take Frame, which just released a collection with Sotheby's featuring items like 'COLLECTOR' T-shirts. Not many would think to pair a storied auction house with a customer-favorite denim brand. However the two came together, explicitly inspired by the vibrant energy of 1980s New York, where Wall Streeters and affluent art curators collided in perfect yuppie harmony. There's an undeniable glamour in being able to enjoy life so freely, enjoy a dose of unabashed selfishness, and look good while doing it, especially if you draw parallels to yuppies' '80s origins. Adds Trufelman, 'It's rather an old resurgence of this idea 'I'm just here to have a good time,' and in big bad New York City, there's a group of people [recreating] the last days of disco.'

Little wonder Ed Sheeran identifies as Irish. No one wants to be British anymore
Ed Sheeran has prompted an online backlash for telling Louis Theroux that he is 'culturally Irish'. Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, the star said 'I class my culture as Irish. I think that's what I grew up with'. 'Just because I was born in Britain doesn't necessarily mean that I have to just be [British], there's loads of people I know that are half this or quarter this', he and every other kid with Irish parents, Ed. Sheeran's father is from Belfast – mine are from the Wicklow mountains. In fact, bar the international fame and musical talent, me and Ed are pretty similar. I too spent every summer holiday in Ireland, my parents played De Dannan, my favourite band was Westlife and almost all of my family live in a small village called Donard. And yet, I too was born and raised in England and have no desire to bring my children up in the homeland, either. So why would me or Ed call ourselves Irish?It's easy to scoff at plastic paddies – as many have, causing Sheeran to mount a rather touchy defence of his background on social media. He wrote on Instagram: 'My dad is Irish. My family is Irish. I have an Irish passport. The culture I was brought up around is Irish. The first music I learnt was Irish. Just coz I was born somewhere else doesn't change my culture, I can be allowed to feel connection to a place half of my family is from.' Every American and their mother wants to claim a familial link to the Emerald Isle because Irish culture is, well, cooler. There's music, dancing, poetry and craic. The Irish can poke fun at each other which has always seemed more attractive to me than the po-face tendencies of my English friends. As opposed to the rather staid or even stifling picture of British life growing up in Suffolk that Sheeran paints in some of his other songs, perhaps there's no wonder he's keen on identifying with something a little also worth remembering that being Irish – culture and craic withstanding – wasn't so hot not so long ago. Like my own, Sheeran's father would have memories of the prejudice Irish people suffered while living in the UK. My maternal grandfather, who came to the UK to build the roads and the Blackwall Tunnel, would have had no choice but to identify as culturally Irish, taking refuge among his fellow navvies in the face of 'no Irish, no blacks, no dogs' signs. Paul Brady released his angry song Nothing but the Same Old Story in 1981, 10 years before Ed and I were born, detailing the Irish experience of hatred and suspicion while Bobby Sands died in Long Kesh. Irish people have today completely assimilated into British life, the pubs have mostly shut and much of the prejudice is gone. But none of this is ancient history; it's no wonder many of us can't quite stomach lining up behind the St George's while it might be the experience of many immigrants that hostility forced a deeper need to create a home away from home within their British lives – giving their children Nigerian or Bangladeshi or Irish upbringings on a British street – it's also true that first-generation immigrants tend to be less bothered by their cultural identity. I know from my own experience that the fervour of a second-generation child's need for authenticity can make a bigger deal out of cultural identity than necessary. You hear the stories your parents tell of home and want them as your own. In many ways, this simply reveals the importance of family ties. My children have complicated Irish names with fadas and gh's, in part because I married an Englishman and didn't want to lose the small thread that links me and them back to something my family belongs to. Cultural identity is a thorny and important issue. Years of political elites pushing multiculturalism – effectively encouraging immigrants not to assimilate – has meant that not only do many people not feel culturally British, they have no sense of what a British national identity is. In many towns and cities across the UK today, clashes of cultural identity are causing major problems. But what are British values? No politician has been able to answer that question in decades. They resort to mumbling about fish and chips and how good we are at being nice to immigrants. In order to achieve an organic sense of national and cultural identity, you need to have the political will to communicate a national story that people want to identify a holiday to Cornwall, my husband's school friends insisted on sticking a Devon flag on the beach. You don't need to get all David Goodhart to know that a sense of place and a desire for strong roots matter to most people – this means familial identity is often stronger than a national one. But if we want to build a British cultural identity that is more substantial than cliches and more politically attractive to a young generation, we need to think about what we stand for. Jamaicans and Irish and Indian immigrants of the past wanted to become part of British society, we need to ask ourselves why, today, so many immigrants – and their children – do not.
