Ranking the uniforms in the Women's College World series
Ranking the uniforms in the Women's College World series The Women's College World Series gets underway on Thursday in Oklahoma City, with eight teams hoping to put their best foot forward in hopes of securing a national championship. 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 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 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 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 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 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' 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.

NFL schedule leak: Steelers Week 2, NFC West opponent revealed
NFL schedule leak: Steelers Week 2, NFC West opponent revealed New Steelers WR DK Metcalf will face off against his former team sooner rather than later, as Donny Chedrick of 93.7 The Fan reported that Pittsburgh will host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 of the 2025 regular season. Metcalf was traded by the Seahawks to the Steelers in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick — and while Pittsburgh fans may not yet know who will be under center, DK provides the Steel City with a long-term solution at the wide receiver position. The Steelers last played the Seahawks back in December 2023, when Pittsburgh won the contest 30-23. Seattle's newest signal-caller, Sam Darnold, will look to continue his career resurgence at the Steelers' expense. The Seahawks and Steelers share many similarities on offense heading into 2025 — including uncertainty at both the wide receiver and quarterback positions — but the Black and Gold faithful will hold onto hope that Pittsburgh's revamped defense can lead them to victory over Seattle in Week 2 on September 14.
