Boston College gives first official look at new football uniforms for 2025 season
Image Source: Getty Boston College finally unveiled its new uniforms for 2025, ushering in a new era in its football history. The reveal, part of a promotional video released through a series of photos, features a design that honors the past while bringing some touches of modernity. This is the first football uniform release since the Eagles came under 100 percent full benefit of New Balance, unifying all of the varsity sports teams under one apparel umbrella. Classic Boston College football uniform design returns with fresh elements Boston College fans have always favored a little tradition with their maroon and white, and the 2025 uniforms will lean heavily on that style with gold piping accents. You can see one identifiable design change, however, reflecting the shoulder stripes that were not seen in last year's Adidas kits. These stripes bring a fresh and contemporary look to the design without straying away from the school's tradition-filled past. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Boston College Football (@bcfootball) Also, one of the solid gold helmets will be worn, a fan favorite, but the clean, stripe-free option. Much more prominent gold detailing on the pants, similar to the uniforms from the Doug Flutie era. It's a time-honored yet modern view of the Eagles as they are ready to get going with a new season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch xu hướng AUD/USD?

Weird Fish shoppers 'feel amazing' in 'great price' dress that 'looks so expensive'
Weird Fish shoppers 'feel amazing' in 'great price' dress that 'looks so expensive' Weird Fish have reduced the Arles Embroidered Cotton Dress by £14 and shoppers are snapping it up to wear this summer The Arles dress is a beautiful option in blue for summer (Image: Weird Fish ) Dressing for the warm weather is all about finding outfits that keep the wearer cool and comfortable, without looking frumpy. Sometimes an easy-throw-on-and-go dress is the best option and fashion retailer Weird Fish have just the ticket in a gorgeous shade of cobalt blue. Reminiscent of sparkling oceans and balmy Greek holidays, the Arles Organic Cotton Embroidered Double Cloth Dress is as summery as they come, featuring a swishy full skirt, tassels and gentle pleating. Stocked in sizes 8 to 22, the dress would typically set shoppers back £70, but a limited time sale brings the price down to £56. The statement dress could easily be worn as a wedding guest dress, paired with metallic accessories and jewellery, or popped on over the top of swimwear at the beach or pool on holiday. Made with organic cotton, the dress was inspired by Greece and Morocco, using a breathable fabric.

White embroidery around the neckline and down the three quarter length sleeves add a touch of elegance and really elevate the outfit to stylish heights. One shopper took to the reviews section of the Weird Fish website to say: "Perfect for holiday. Fit is gorgeous, I feel amazing in it and such a good price for something that looks so expensive." And now reduced to £56, it's even better value for money. Arles Organic Cotton Embroidered Double Cloth Dress £70 £56 Weird Fish Shop Deal Product Description Shoppers are getting prepped for the warm weather in the Weird Fish sale. Boden have also got a number of beautiful blue summer dresses on their website, including the Isabel Broderie Mix Maxi Dress. It's £130, but shoppers can shave 15% off the price tag bringing it down to £110.50 with the code JM7D. Shoppers are calling the dress a 'win win' as it is 'very comfortable and breezy', however, someone did find the colour to be a little too 'intense' for their liking. Opting for a summer dress with a pattern helps to break the colour up and make it a less of a statement. This Light Blue Tile Print Shirred Waist Maxi Dress for £48 at Roman does exactly this. It would look lovely with wedges and shoppers say they have 'had lots of compliments' since wearing it. The floaty tiered skirt is a flattering feature (Image: Weird Fish ) Fashion fans also say that the Weird Fish maxi dress has lots going for it, with one person writing: "Lovely fabric, colour, embroidery, sleeves. Like it." Those that have a shorter frame may wish to know that some customers found the design a little too long. Article continues below A four star review reads: "A nice quality garment. The embroidery is lovely but the dress drowned me I need to be taller. Having bought online I returned it in store very easily. There were some nice items in there and I will shop there in future." But, shoppers with their eye on the Arles Organic Cotton Embroidered Double Cloth Dress can pick it up for £56 on the Weird Fish website.

I'm ditching my New Balance shoes for these Skechers on my 3 mile runs — here's why
I've relied on New Balance Fresh Foam running shoes for years. I think they offer great arch support and are super comfortable to wear, and in my opinion are some of the best running shoes. But I didn't know that I was missing a whole other level of comfort until I tested the Skechers Max Cushioning Elite 2.0. They are so comfortable to wear even just for walking around, but when I took them on a run for the first time I set a new PR for my 3-mile run. I have been relying on the Skechers Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 sneakers for runs for over a month and they have incredible bounce to help me move faster with fewer aches and pains. So yes, the change in shoes has made me a little faster but the comfort and support from them alone makes it worth the change. The midsole of the shoe is made from memory foam and a PU (polyurethane) foam which, when put together, creates a bouncy and springy walk. The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat technology also provides further cushioning for high intensity exercise. The sole has a two-inch lift and I could really feel the effect of this from the shock absorption the shoe offers. My poor knees bear the brunt of the effects of my running, and in the weeks I have used these sneakers I haven't had any aches or pains. I have also noticed the elevation from the sole means I am leaning forward ever so slightly, so the shoes will automatically propel you forward with every step you take. These shoes are totally breathable and kept my feet far cooler than my usual New Balances. And while the mesh upper of the shoe makes for a cool running experience, it's not so great for running in the rain. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Skechers are of course known for their breathability, but I didn't quite understand the hype until trying these out. While the Goga Mat technology works to cushion the show, it also has a cooling effect. This is also in the Skechers' Go Run Elevate 2.0 sneakers and makes them extremely comfortable to wear for long periods. We have awarded the Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 a coveted 4-stars. They are a great option for new runners as the elevated sole makes them bouncy, and they are lightweight to make every step easy. Most Skechers shoes come with a wide fit option, but I would say the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 run wide anyway. While I have narrow feet, there was more than enough room in the regular fit version of these sneakers. That meant there was plenty of room in the toe box and no squished toes in sight, This is an issue I find with a lot of sneakers I wear, where the toe box tapers to almost a point. While the Skechers still have a flattering shape, they are not constrictive. I have very arched feet from years of ballet training, so when I don't have enough support from my shoes I really feel it. And as a chronic Doc Martens wearer, I know the impact of an uncomfortable shoe. By having extra support in the arch area of my foot, my runs have become more comfortable, but that's not the best part. Usually a little while after a run, my arches can become slightly sore without the right support, and this is something I was experiencing with my previous running shoes. Since switching to Skechers I haven't had any aches. I will definitely be sticking with Skechers for my short runs from now on. For longer runs I would still go down the route of a sturdier shoe like the Asics Novablast 5, but for short training runs where you need to prioritize comfort? I can't recommend these Skechers enough.
