Are you ready for the 2023 Rugby World Cup?

If so, you’ll be glad to know that teams have begun releasing their new shirts for the biggest rugby tournament.

Ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup, let’s take a look and see what makes each shirt unique from Doosan’s perspective!Meanwhile,welcome to customize your own jersey and support your team as a fan！

France

The hosts’ new jersey supplied by Le Coq Sportif is a slightly different colour than the ones France donned during the Autumn Nations Series last year and the 2023 Six Nations. The change in the blue shade is attributed to reflect the France flag, with the players also set to wear red socks and white shorts. They, too, have a white alternative kit with a blue outline.

Australia

The Wallabies have a permanent First Nations design component on their primary strip for the first time for a World Cup. There is also an upgrade to the Coat of Arms, while the 2023 ASICS Wallabies Alternate Jersey is a sleek white jersey.

New Zealand All Blacks

The All Blacks 2023 kit hasn’t been too well received, with the new silver fern design covering the jersey proving to be more of a miss than a hit. While most have bayed for the return of collars to rugby jerseys, adidas’ attempt to bring them back has made this look more like a golf or cricket shirt than a rugby one. The All Blacks will don an all-white jersey during the World Cup, too, potentially in the opener against France.

Portugal 

Portugal make their first Rugby World Cup appearance since 2007 and are doing so in style. Os Lobos’ jersey has symbols of their flag with their red home kit featuring a green V-neck which repeats on the sleeve cuffs. Their alternate shirt is white with a knitted V-neck in green with a red stripe. The sleeves, sides and back bottom change to a pale grey and the same graphic as the home shirt covers all surfaces, with the five shields represented in different colours.

Argentina

Nike have delivered two excellent jerseys for the Rugby World Cup, and while Los Pumas’ home kit has stayed largely the same since the last tournament in Japan, it is still a winner with a tidy collar and the classic blue and white hoops. The alternate kit has a major change, as the dark blue jersey features a diagonal white stripe. The inspiration for the kit is the Granaderos, who, led by national hero Jose de San Martin, liberated the country from Spanish rule in the 1800s.

Italy

Macron have produced a light blue jersey for the Azzurri with a two-button polo shirt collar, a slim white line, and white sleeve cuffs.

The jersey also features what Macron describe as a ‘stylised design of the laurel wreath present in the FIR crest, produced in a tone-on-tone dye-sub print.’

The white and blue alternate kit follows the same design with the side set to don white shorts with the home kit and blue with the alternate.

Scotland

Scotland’s new home shirt for the 2023 Rugby World Cup is navy blue with a white-trimmed neck and sleeves. It also features two thin stripes on the sleeve, one of which is in Scottish Rugby’s own tartan green.

There is a distinct tartan design down the sides of the jersey, which has identified Scottish Rugby since 1991 alongside Scottish navy blue with green and purple shades of the thistle, Scotland’s national flower.

Uruguay

Los Teros’ World Cup kit has plenty of fanfare with the sun, which appears on their flag, featuring prominently on the home and alternate strip. They are set to don their new sun-inspired yellow jersey in three of their four pool matches against France, Italy and Namibia. The only time we are likely to see Uruguay in their traditional blue is against New Zealand.

Fiji

Fiji have officially released their Rugby World Cup jerseys after an earlier leak. Nike have supplied and designed the kit for the Pacific Islanders with a classic white and black home jersey and a red and black alternate. In a statement revealing the jersey, the design was described as an embodiment of “the spirit and heritage of Fiji’s revered rugby legacy”.

Ireland

Ireland and Canterbury have officially released the kit after the sneak peek of the jersey was widely slammed. The reaction has been mostly the same for the official release, with fans criticising both the green and white jerseys. The kit has been made from 100% recycled polyester, with Canterbury stating that it is ‘the most technologically advanced jersey’ the supplier has ever produced.

Chile

Chile will make their Rugby World Cup debut after qualifying as Americas 2. Los Cóndores have been supplied by Umbro and they delivered a stunning kit displaying the colours of the country with pride.

England

The Red Rose and Umbro dropped a classic kit with a very simple and clean-looking primary kit. The alternate strip is navy and minimal in its own right. The kits are part of the ‘From England with love’ campaign for the World Cup, derived from the passion of English fans in the stand and at home.

Japan

Canterbury and Japan have released the new Brave Blossoms jersey for the World Cup, and a lot has stayed the same from the strip they wore at their home tournament four years ago. The Japanese will wear a blue alternate jersey with gold stripes going diagonally. In a unique twist to the jersey, it is manufactured through chemical recycling and the new jerseys are made from older jerseys donated by Japan fans.

Namibia

Namibia have officially unveiled their World Cup kits with the Africans going for the traditional blue home jersey and an alternate white strip, which “displays boldness, Namibian flair and pride.”

Wales

The Macron-designed Wales Rugby World Cup kit has impressed fans with a home red jersey featuring a tidy white collar. The alternate jersey is black and yellow, with both kits featuring Saint David’s flag colours. The words of the national anthem are also printed on the jersey.

The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is the ninth edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, the quadrennial international women’s football championship contested by women’s national teams and organised by FIFA. The tournament, which is taking place from 20 July to 20 August 2023, is jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand.

What is AFL?

The AFL, the most competitive organizer of Australian Rules Football, is the Australian Football League,

a national sports organization. The AFL’s annual Grand Final, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in

September, is by far the most attended sporting event in Australia at club level championship level.

AFL competition structure?

The highest level of Australian Rules football is the annual AFL Premiership. Unlike the Football League, the AFL Premier League has no separate league and cup awards. The top team is called the “minor premier” and is awarded the McClelland Trophy (actually a consolation prize); The team at the bottom of the table is given a wooden spoon. However, finishing first in the league table does not necessarily mean winning the championship, the top eight teams will advance to the final round, and the top four will have an equal chance of reaching the finals.

Are there any other alliances in Australia?

In addition to the AFL, Australia also has seven state leagues:

the Victorian Football League( VFL); North East Australian Football League, simply covers New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Queensland and the Northern Territory four states), Queensland Australian Football League(QAFL); Tasmanian Football League(TFL);

The South Australian National Football League (SANFL), the Northern Territory Football League (NTFL) and the Western Australian Football League (WAFL). Most leagues hold semi-professional leagues and cooperate with other leagues to organize competitions, but there are also local semi-professional or amateur competitions.

At the same time, when the athletes in the game we inhale the eye is not only their wonderful performance, but also the bright sportswear. Because the team jersey, it can give us more morale. You can imagine how you know how important the jersey is to us.

Twin Cities Queer Hockey Association (TCQHA) is an inclusive space for all LGBTQIA people! It has transformed over the years of having a summer league called Phoenix Summer Ice.

TCQHA was born from attending a Team Trans Friendship Series in Madison, WI. Where 45 Trans skaters played against other Queer folks and allies. While having conversations around the magic of having Queer hockey, TCQHA formed in the Twin Cities as the current hockey space did not exist for Queer folks. They realized that it’s time for EVERYONE to have a SAFE and Inclusive space to skate. It’s time to change the culture of hockey for all.

“Inclusion is not about making room in your existing system for marginalized people. Inclusion is about creating a new system where everyone feels safe and welcome. ~unknown”

Goal at TCQHA is to create a safe and inclusive space for everyone to have fun and play hockey.“We are excited to bring back Queer hockey to the Twin Cities and hope that we grow large enough to have a full league where we get to exist as we are and play some competitive and fun hockey. ” TCQHA director said.

We Doosansportswear are also very proud of our hockey uniforms and socks for the TCQHA.

Also, Doosan Sports is a very inclusive company and we hope to have more opportunities to create unique uniforms for all types of groups!

The origin of Lantern Festival

Lantern Festival is also called Shangyuan Festival originated from the “Torch Festival”, when people in the Han Dynasty held torches in rural fields to drive away insects and animals, hoping to reduce pests and pray for a good harvest. To this day, people in some areas of southwest China still make torches with reed wood or branches and dance in groups on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, holding the torches high. Since Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, it has flourished. Tens of thousands of people took part in the song and dance, and they partied from dawn until dark. With the changes of society and times, the customs of Lantern Festival have already changed greatly, but it is still a traditional Chinese folk festival, and the torches have gradually changed into colored lanterns.

Since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Lantern Festival has developed into a national carnival. Therefore, Lantern Festival is the most thorough and typical traditional festival.

Lantern Festival Activities

Nowadays, Lantern Festival is still celebrated with a variety of fun activities.

Viewing Lantern displays

As its name suggests, the most important part of the Lantern Festival revolves around viewing and interacting with grand displays of Chinese lanterns.

When many people think of Chinese lanterns, they imagine the round, red, basket-ball sized lanterns they may have seen hanging outside Chinese restaurants.

While this type of lantern is certainly omnipresent around the time of Chinese New Year, the lanterns involved in Lantern Festival displays are quite different.

Instead of being basketball-sized, these lanterns are often enormous, with some of the larger ones measuring over 65 feet (20 meters) high and 330 (100 meters) long.

These giant lanterns aren’t usually round or red. Instead, they’re built into every imaginable color and shape, depicting real and imaginary animals like giraffes and dragons along with giant flowers, trees and palaces.

Groups of lanterns are often arranged together to illustrate famous scenes from various historical or mythological stories.

Lanterns used in lantern displays in the past were made of materials like paper, silk, bamboo, glass or jade and lit with candles from within. Today, the materials used have been updated.

Most are now made with fabric stretched over wire frames and lit with thousands of LED lights.

Kongming lanterns were often incorporated into Lantern Festival celebrations and flying them was a favorite activity for children and adults alike.

Guessing lantern riddles

Guessing lantern riddles is an activity that dates back at least as far as the Song Dynasty, when scholars wrote riddles on small slips of paper and hung them from lanterns for festival attendees to guess.

Most of these lantern riddles were simply created as a form of entertainment. Sometimes, however, imperial advisors used them to make suggestions to the emperor.

If the emperor didn’t like a suggestion, the advisors could claim that the riddle had been interpreted incorrectly, thus avoiding his wrath. This was possible because the riddles’ answers were rarely obvious and clear-cut, leaving them open to multiple interpretations.

Today’s lantern riddles are still open to multiple interpretations and difficult to guess. So difficult, in fact, that they’re referred to as “lantern tigers” and guessing lantern riddles is sometimes referred to as “guessing lantern tigers” .

Generally, lantern riddles are based on complex forms of wordplay and may be difficult for even advanced students to understand.

Most riddles consist of the riddle itself and a hint that tells the guesser what form he or she should expect the answer to take.

For example, sometimes the hint might indicate that the answer is a Chinese idiom, the name of a country or that it should consist of only one Chinese character.

Eating tangyuan

Another popular Lantern Festival activity is eating tangyuan (also called yuanxiao).These balls of glutinous rice flour are generally loaded with sweet fillings made from ingredients like black sesame paste. Although most tangyuan are sweet, savory tangyuan do exist.

Most tangyuan are boiled, but they can also be fried and steamed. Usually served floating in a thin hot soup, they’re traditionally white in color.

In recent years, modern versions of tangyuan have also appeared. These come in a mix of bright colors like purple, pink and orange. Creative chefs have updated the fillings, sometimes using less-traditional ingredients like chocolate.

Although they were originally only consumed on festive occasions, nowadays frozen tangyuan can be found in supermarkets throughout the year and can be eaten anytime.

The pronunciation of the word tangyuan is similar to that of the word tuanyuan (团圆 or tuányuán), which means “reunion” in Chinese. This, along with the fact that tangyuan are round and are served in round bowls, has led them to become a symbol of family togetherness.

There are some regional variations of this traditional dessert. In southern China, it’s called tangyuan, but in northern China, it’s called yuanxiao .

Though there are some slight differences in how tangyuan and yuanxiao are prepared and stored, the two are quite similar.

Watching dragon and lion dances

In some parts of China, dragon and lion dances are also performed during the Lantern Festival.

Lion dance is a type of folk dance typically performed by two dancers wearing a single lion suit. One performer controls the head and front part of the lion’s body, while the other controls the rear.

The performers dance and perform various acrobatic tricks to the beat of drums, gongs and cymbals.

Some lion dances are quite complex and may even include martial arts-inspired moves. In traditional Chinese culture, lions are considered to be powerful, auspicious animals, and lion dances are thought to bring good luck and financial prosperity.

Dragon dances are usually performed by a large team of dancers. Instead of getting inside a dragon costume, these performers manipulate a long, flexible model of a dragon using poles attached to its body.

Chinese dragons are thought to be powerful, benevolent creatures. Like lion dances, dragon dances are thought to bring good luck to the communities in which they’re performed.

Fireworks

Fireworks were invented in China, so it should come as no surprise that they’re still an integral part of many Chinese festivals.

Firework displays are popular during the Lantern Festival. In fact, it’s quite common to see and hear fireworks almost every day from the start of the Chinese New Year until the Lantern Festival, which marks the official end of the Spring Festival holiday.

Sometimes, fireworks displays are combined with other aspects of the Lantern Festival, such as dragon dancing, which can make for a truly spectacular performance.

Doosansports’ Lantern Festival celebration

February 5 to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Doosansports invited the lion dance team to the company green: two “lions” came to the lobby green, the lion is a representative of the auspicious beast, so since ancient times have been considered to bring good luck to people.Our company manager in the lion after the arrival of green, meaning to welcome wealth to accept blessings. I also wish all the friends who read this article good health in the Year of the Rabbit!

The Premier Lacrosse League （PLL）

The Premier Lacrosse League was founded in 2019 by professional player Paul Rabil and his brother in the hopes of increasing the visibility of the sport by attracting more partners and to therefore allow players to make a living from playing the sport. This inaugural season in the summer of 2019 was a huge success, by attracting most of the best players in the world and partnering up with Adidas and NBC sports group.

In contrast to most leagues, the PLL features 7 teams of 26-player rosters which are not bound to one specific city. All teams travel to a new location every week to play the games over the weekend. There is no schedule overlap with the NLL and the NCAA to ensure that all players could finish their NLL season or graduate from college and then go on to play the PLL season (an unusual but existing problem in professional Lacrosse). The PLL season usually starts in May and finishes in September with play-offs to determine the Champion.

The National Lacrosse League (NLL) – Indoor/Box Lacrosse

The National Lacrosse League was founded in 1986 and is comprised of 13 American and Canadian teamsdivided into three divisions (West, North and East). The league typically start in December and finishes with a play-offs in around April.

Interestingly, although 8 of the 13 teams are based in America, less than 7% of players are Americans. About 83% are Canadians and 10% are from Iroquois decent from either Canada or the USA (ref).

Major Lacrosse League (MLL)

The Major Lacrosse League is a field Lacrosse competition in the USA and was founded in 2001. The league currently has 6 active programs which play form late May to late September and conclude the season with a four-team play-off system.

The MLL was the first league to allow a 2 point-arc 15m away from the goal. The League also attempted only allow 3 long pole players instead of the usual 4 for few years (from its inception to 2008) to promote scoring opportunities.
