125th Anniversary Honorary Kutztown Baseball Jersey

This upcoming season is Kutztown University Baseballs 125th anniversary of the program. In honor of this historic achievement we thought it would be a great idea to custom make a jersey that the team could wear throughout the season that would honor past teams inspired by jerseys they wore. The design would be a gold base with maroon lettering and numbers. We decided to make the jersey gold due to the team no longer having a gold jersey and instead only having white and maroon jerseys. So bringing back the gold will make the jersey stand out much more, and would help honor the program, and the programs alumni.

This article from ETF Channel tells how companies like Visa and PayPay give the gen like on cryptocurrencies.

What's it’s about :

The company will issue a voluntary recall as a condition of the settlement, Nike said.

This article discusses the recent lawsuit brought against MSCHF by Nike. The article discusses the recent dispute between the two companies and how this will be settled. MSCHF used one of Nikes shoes in a recent collaboration that caused outrage amongst social media. The shoes contained demonic sayings and even included blood in the sole. Nike won the lawsuit and there will be a recall on the shoe.

I feel that this is really interesting when looking how companies can take heat for a product they do not make. Millions of people across the world had the assumption that Nike was behind this and boycotted the company. Public relations cases like this are interesting especially when so many consumers spent thousands to obtain the shoes.

This relates to my career because I am a Public Relations major. Going forward it will be interesting to see what companies do when they are handed a situation like this one.

Interesting Read:

This article says that therapeutic massage guns can “definitely” be beneficial for active individuals who use it to recover from training or competition. These devices have also been found to help individuals dealing with stress, muscle strains or injuries, muscle soreness, limited mobility of a joint and flexibility restrictions of a specific muscle.

What’s it about :

Relieves stress and relaxes the body by releasing tension and fluid deep in the muscles to increase tissue metabolism. Increases blood and lymphatic circulation, which allow more oxygen and nutrients to reach the muscles. Encourages healing of atrophied muscles by “waking them up” to allow for faster healing with increased flexibility. Releases lactic acid build up in the body, often a result of intense exercise.

why you should read it:

Massage is a great way to release tight muscles, whether you’re an athlete or simply prone to a sore back. If you can’t get to an appointment — or you want to relieve your own tension at home — consider a massage gun. Massage guns, also called percussive guns, can help relieve soreness and tension through oscillating, rapid bursts of pressure on muscle tissue

An Interesting Read:

The “News” section of the NBA website was interesting to me because of the layout of the news stories, but also the variety in each story covered. It is interesting to see how sometimes the newer stories are further down the site, as the most important and breaking news stories stay closer to the top of the website. It is also interesting to see how the NBA sets up their news section, as there are a lot of articles displayed in different ways. Some are displayed alongside video or pictures, while others just have the headline in small print on the right side of the page.

On the Site:

The link will take you to all the media related news in the NBA. This includes some highlights from the games, some player interviews, but mostly a lot of articles written about anything NBA related. There are breaking news articles alongside opinion pieces like power rankings, where they rank the best team to the worst team. There are pieces about games that happened yesterday, moments in NBA history, and previews on what to look forward to for today’s games.

Why You Should Check it Out:

I think you should check out this part of the website because it has all the information related to the NBA. If you enjoy watching the NBA, this is a great way to stay up to date with all the news surrounding the league. It is also a good place to look if you are interested in the field of journalism. Majority of the content in this part of the website are articles written by sports writers, and therefore you can see the ways in which they write the headlines, the leads, etc. It is also useful to look at because it shows what articles the NBA is promoting, so you can see what topics would make for the most interesting story and grab the reader's attention. There are also many different types of articles, whether it is breaking news, injury updates, profiles, draft prospects, and rankings, and so there are a lot of different areas of writing you can observe and learn from on the website.
