Serie B club Como 1907 took a new spin on releasing their squad’s group picture with what is being called the most beautiful team photo ever.
Rather than the typical sports team photo of the entire squad sitting on a bench, Como 1907 have gone full Renaissance to separate themselves from the rest of the world and share Lake Como’s culture with the world.
It was the kind of night you get dressed up for.
A record MLS crowd of 82,110 watched El Tráfico at the Rose Bowl on July 4th, and although the LA Galaxy won the match 2-1, LAFC's Kellyn Acosta won hearts and minds with the greatest custom boots to ever grace a professional pitch.
It's soccer jersey weather (there's no better option at an outdoor concert), and clubs across Europe are cashing in by releasing their new threads for the 2023-24 campaign.
Below we've recommended five jerseys for special commendation in the field of aesthetic beauty while we've classified five more as ew don't think so.

#1. Manchester City home
It's always an extremely hit-or-miss trip to the thrift store when you're looking for knickknacks to adorn your shelves. You need to spot something that immediately speaks to your sensibilities, but what if you rounded a corner and bam! You saw this holy union of home decor and soccer staring right back at you.
This would be a legendary thrifting experience.
After a grueling, emotional season that ended with Arsenal succumbing to Manchester City's relentless pursuit, how do the Gunners pick themselves up, avoid doing what Liverpool did and hit the ground running when the 2023-24 Premier League campaign begins on Aug. 12?
Maybe, like after a bad breakup, it's best to destroy every visual reminder of the past while undergoing some drastic changes in personal appearance (new haircut, clothes, tattoos, etc.). I think that's the route Arsenal's taking based on the latest leaks of their new away kit.
Record-breaking striker and Premier League champion Erling Haaland brings the random internet moment of the day after posting on Instagram about how much he loves his new sneakers: a pair of Nike SB Dunks made in collaboration with Jarritos.
Yep, that delicious and radioactive-colored Mexican soda you drink while you stuff your mouth with burritos and tortas.
Oh man, I want one now.
Last year, May 20 to be exact, I wrote an article sharing how much I loved USL League Two side Vermont Green FC’s new kits. Fast forward a year and those brilliant minds over in the Green Mountains have one-upped their work.
The semi-pro club revealed their 2023 home kit this week. Created by top designer and Vermont Green co-founder Matthew Wolff, “The Wildflower Kit” is magnificent.
After Nike set the bar about as low as it gets for the USMNT in Qatar, we're happy to report that the USWNT jersey options for the 2023 World Cup are much more desirable.
The sales people said we'd learn to love the USMNT kits eventually, but it's been five months and I still don't like them. As for the latest USWNT efforts, I do believe these will look better and better as the team moves toward the World Cup final in Sydney.

The new Philippines kits for the men’s national team are a work of art, literally. Created by design studio and TikTok sensation JerseyBird, the Philippines men’s national team are wearing some of the best-looking kits in the world.
Before getting the new kits, the Philippine Football Federation had a deal with Spanish sportswear company Kelme. That deal expired in January.
The USMNT vs. El Salvador match in the CONCACAF Nations League on Monday night yielded two moments of beauty: (1) Ricardo Pepi's filthy game-winner and (2) the Umbro away kits that La Selecta wore at Exploria Stadium.
