Paris Saint-Germain and Nike Revive the Iconic 2004-2005 T90 Jersey
Summary In a powerful tribute to its heritage,Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)andNikehave joined forces to reissue one of the club's most beloved and iconic jerseys: the legendary T90 from the 2004-2005 season. This reissue is part of Nike's broader revival of its emblematic early-2000s Total 90 collection, and it's being celebrated in a spectacular fashion with the help of two of the club's most cherished legends. The jersey itself is a cult classic, instantly recognizable by its bold red vertical stripe running down the deep navy body. This design defined an era—a time rich in symbolism, emotion, and an aesthetic that continues to resonate with fans today. To mark this special reissue, Nike and PSG have enlisted two legends to lead the campaign: Pedro Miguel Pauleta, the 'Eagle of the Azores' whose decisive goals are forever linked with this shirt, andRonaldinho, the 'Gaucho' whose unmatched flair and charisma embodied the spirit of the T90 era. The collaboration extends beyond the jersey, offering a full capsule collection that bridges timeless football heritage with today's street culture. The reissue also includes a PSG T90 tracksuit and a pair of white-and-red Nike Total 90 sneakers, featuring the PSG crest, completing the look for fans of both football and streetwear. The celebration is further amplified with a tribute film featuring Pedro Miguel Pauleta in a Parisian café, a nostalgic nod to the club's fervent past. In a stroke of marketing genius, Ronaldinho, who never actually wore this specific kit during his time at the club, returns to Paris in a collaboration with SNIPES, bridging a gap in the club's history and bringing a 'fantasy made real' for fans who always wished to see him in the kit. This iconic comeback is also a prelude to a new chapter. On August 17, Paris Saint-Germain and Nike will unveil the 2025-2026 Third kit, which is directly inspired by the T90 aesthetic. This new jersey will extend the stylistic saga with a modern vision, made for passionate fans eager to carry forward the club's legacy. The 2004-2005 T90 jersey is now available in limited quantities at officialPSG stores, and through other retail networks.

Barack Obama charging twice as much as Beyoncé for top VIP package at London show
Barack Obama is giving Beyoncé a run for her money by charging more than double her top VIP ticket price for his upcoming London show, with packages going up to £1,790. The 44th president of the United States faced a number of challenges while in office, from steering the country through the 2008 financial crisis and passing healthcare reform, to managing ongoing wars and tackling climate change. He remains a hugely popular figure worldwide, with many eager to hear his take on today's issues, and judging by the prices, his fans are willing to pay. Titled An Evening With President Barack Obama, it is scheduled to take place at London's O2 Arena on September 24, followed by a date at Dublin's 3Arena on September 26. The top VIP package includes a photo opportunity with Obama, subject to security clearance, and is limited to one photo for every two guests. The Standard has confirmed that these tickets will only be sold in pairs, so solo attendees won't have the option to purchase this package or be paired with strangers for the photo. The package also offers early entry, VIP check-in, a commemorative ticket, a copy of his memoir A Promised Land, premium seats near the front, and post-show access to a private club with a bar and live music. In comparison, global superstar Beyoncé's top VIP tickets for her recent Cowboy Carter tour at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium cost around £860. Those included premium seats, early entry, exclusive merchandise, and access to private lounges. Beyoncé and Obama share history, with the singer performing the National Anthem at his second inauguration in 2013. Another VIP option offered by Obama is a £895 dining package that comes with a four-course meal at posh steakhouse Gaucho. This also includes a welcome glass of champagne, seating within the first ten rows, a copy of his book, and post-show access to the Seat Unique Club with a private bar and live entertainment. Other VIP prices start at £595, with standard tickets expected to be cheaper but likely to sell out fast. They go on sale at 10am on July 10. Organisers have also said that 100 tickets in each city will be set aside for charities. While Obama's shows are expected to fill up quickly, Beyoncé reportedly quietly gave away free tickets through London food banks after failing to sell out her six-date run in the capital.

Obama to host London event - here's how much tickets cost
Barack Obama is taking the stage in London this fall and offering guests the opportunity to say hello and share a drink. But the meet-and-greet with the former president will set you back a pretty penny, with tickets costing as much as $2,430 (£1,790). The 63-year-old's An Evening With President Barack Obama event will come to London's O2 Arena on September 24. Four VIP packages are currently available event organizer Seat Unique's website, ranging from $671 (£495) to more than $1,214 (£895) depending on the selected ticket package. The $1,214 dining package is nearly sold out with only six tickets remaining. It includes a four-course meal at the Gaucho steakhouse, a glass of champagne, a seat in the first ten rows at the O2, access to the Seat Unique Club afterparty, and a copy of Obama's book. General admission seats for the event, without all the bells and whistles of premium packages, are available for $172 (£127) each, according to Ticketmaster. A top tier VIP option, which according to the Evening Standard is only sold in pairs, will offer guests an opportunity to pose for a photo with Obama, subject to security clearance. The package is understood to be more expensive than the dining package, with the newspaper suggesting it will cost at least $2,430. However, the Daily Mail could not independently verify that price as these tickets appear to have already sold out. The cheapest hospitality package, titled the premium ticket, costs $671 per ticket and offers guests guaranteed premium seating, priority access to the arena, a welcome drink at the Seat Unique Club, post-show access to the club and a copy of Obama's new book. Two other hospitality packages - the Seventh Row and Seat Unique Club packages -cost $745 (£549) and $1,800 (£795), respectively. Tickets went on sale Thursday, with organizers having reportedly set aside 100 seats for charitable organizations. It is unclear if Obama, worth an estimated $70 million, will be donating any of the profits or ticket sales to charity or if he and Seat Unique will be pocketing the funds. Daily Mail has approached Seat Unique for further information. The event will see the president be interviewed by British-Nigerian historian David Olusoga. Obama is expected to speak about his experiences as a two-term US president and his thoughts on the future of the nation. The event organizers, in a statement to the Standard , said they are 'incredibly honored to bring President Obama to the UK'. 'His message of unity and progress resonates deeply, and we anticipate an evening that will inspire and empower all who attend,' the statement said. 'We believe in providing exceptional experiences, and this event perfectly aligns with our mission to connect people with inspiring moments.' Obama is a highly regarded speaker and in 2022 won an Emmy for best narrator for his work on the Netflix docuseries Our Great National Parks. He also previously won a Grammy for his audiobook reading of both his memoirs. But Obama's high-dollar prices are arguably a bit steep, with the top level ticket costing more than double what London-based Beyoncé fans paid to see her Cowboy Carter Tour last month.

A restaurant worker was dragged out of a training session to be told he'd won a £43,000 car and £10,000 cash in a spot the ball competition. Lewis Denner, from Cardiff, was in the first few days of his new job at the steakhouse chain Gaucho when presenters from BOTB turned up with a camera crew to present him with the prizes. The 28-year-old had travelled to Gaucho's Liverpool location and his bosses allowed him out of the training session to take a look at his brand new Ford Focus ST Edition. As he caught sight of the £43,000 car for the first time, he said: "I'm lost for words. This is amazing. BOTB's presenter Christian Williams surprised Lewis while he was training in Liverpool | BOTB 'I never expected to come up here to Liverpool for training and win a car. The only thing I've won before is probably something at a funfair. 'They say things happen in threes, so after getting a new job and winning a car and the cash, let's see what else happens.' And the next big surprise soon followed, as the BOTB team popped open the boot of the car to unveil Lewis's £10,000 cash prize. 'My head is blown,' he said. The father-of-one said he's likely to take the cash alternative rather than the car, and plans to put the money toward getting on the property ladder. 'I currently live with my parents, so this will go a long way towards me getting my own house,' he said. The Ford Focus ST Edition has 276bhp | BOTB 'I also don't currently drive, as it's easy enough to get about in Cardiff without a car. 'I'll also spend some money on my daughter, but definitely not on any more cuddly toys!' BOTB presenter Christian Williams, who delivered the good news in person, said: 'It's always special surprising winners, but catching Lewis in the middle of a work training session made it even more memorable. 'The Ford Focus ST Edition is a fantastic car – it looks incredible, handles beautifully, and packs serious power. 'Pair that with £10,000 in the boot, and it's a prize that will really change his life for the better.' BOTB has been giving away dream cars since 1999, and other prizes include holidays, luxury watches, and even a house. Tickets to win a dream car start at around 5p, and tickets to win the £685,000 house cost 99p. To find out more about the prizes on offer, click here.
