Nike jumped the shark long ago and has been a bit Hellen Keller now for a while...

Their soccer offerings have been trash for many years.

They are more concerned with marketing and pushing an image.

How long is that Nike deal? When does it expire?

Dark grey vs black doesn't seem ideal.

Yeah, now this .. is how you do a uniform. Light years better than anything they've come up with since dropping the Florida name. And those pinstripes .. classic. The Marlins won multiple world championships in their first 10-11 years. And since? Bupkis. This, my friends, are the baseball gods punishing the Marlins for committing the heinous unforgivable crime of turning their backs on what they had. Which was a divine inspirational look in their original decade plus.

The documents filed Wednesday further detailed a relationship of trust in which Ohtani, who does not speak English, relied on his Japanese interpreter to help him with everything from answering questions at news conferences and transacting with financial advisers and sports agents to opening bank accounts. Mizuhara began placing bets with an illegal bookmaker in September 2021, and as his losses quickly mounted, he began to exploit his access to Ohtani's financial accounts to pay off his debts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mizuhara took many steps to deceive Ohtani, including changing contact information on the baseball player's bank accounts so communication would come to Mizuhara. He even impersonated Ohtani on the phone with calls to the bank, which he did at least 24 times, according to the plea agreement. In one such attempt, on Feb. 2, 2022, Mizuhara called a representative of a bank -- referred to as Bank A -- for help getting a wire transfer for what Mizuhara said was a "car loan" and verified the transaction with a six-digit code sent via text message, which went to Mizuhara's phone as he had already changed the information on the account. In September 2023, Mizuhara told Ohtani he needed $60,000 for dental work, which Ohtani arranged to give him via a check drawn from a business account. However, Mizuhara pocketed that money and instead used Ohtani's debit card to pay the $60,000 dental bill. The agreement also states that Mizuhara filed a false tax return for tax year 2022, noting multiple inaccuracies such as failing to report $4.1 million, according to the plea agreement. For that, he owes an additional $1.15 million in taxes.
