The Wiktor Bogacz saga at Red Bull New York has been weird.
From turning down the organization by saying “it’s not you, it’s me”. To then coming over. Being a good but inconsistent piece. And now he heads back to Europe.
Personally, wishing him the best. #RBNY

After many theories on what the leaked design could be, Red Bull New York has officially unveiled the “Rooted Kit” for the 2026 Major League Soccer season (and next year).
Solid black with red running down it. Looks pretty good.

It’s a death of social safety to be weird. (OR, they’ll go the full opposite and harass. No middle.)
That isn’t even getting started on artist alley / marketplace vendors being either mass produced, flavor of the month, or don’t standout.
It’s a lot of things. Lot of fear to be seen.

I don’t watch sheep_xing but saw this clip of her, wanted to vent as someone who was a convention PR head at one point.
Cons are now are more sterile than pre-COVID. People don’t do cringe in public, they don’t want to be recorded and made fun of.

Pretty cool that one of the owners of the Oakland Roots played the pregame show of the Super Bowl.
Even the NFL knows that they should be utilizing The Biggest League in the World™️ as often as possible.
