The Arizona Cardinals began during the early years of the game of American Football, which was coming into existence. This new sport sprang up from the sport of rugby. And rugby came from soccer, which is officially called "football" on a global scale.
Teams back then didn't have home and away jerseys. They owned one set that followed the origins of baseball. In those days, baseball teams all had basically the same uniforms, so they had different colored socks. That is why the "Cincinnati Red Stockings" (Reds), "Chicago White Stockings" (White Sox), and "Boston Red Stockings" (Red Sox) still have this history to their franchise team names.

Stockings were used instead of traditional socks because they could travel from the cleat/shoes all the way to just below the knee. This long area covered the entire shin and gave a good glimpse of the color.
Almost every professional sports team has made some sort of change, whether that's in a team name, colors, team logos, uniforms, city, stadium, owners, or franchise letter font.

Madonna brought her A-game to her FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show performance. She stepped out in Saint Laurent micro shorts that rode up her thighs. The "Like a Prayer" hitmaker delivered a look that was the perfect blend of athleisure and glamor.
Madonna once again proved why she remains one of the most revered showgirls to date, thanks to her incredible fashion sense. She donned several custom pieces from Saint Laurent, including a pair of silk mini shorts featuring dark purple accents. The shorts had an elasticated waistband and flared hem that hit her upper thighs. A row of crystals lined the shorts' hems on both legs.
The "Like a Virgin" hitmaker sported a structured lilac corset complete with side buckle details and lace panels over a Glenn Martens' Diesel lurex jersey zip top. The corset cinched her waist, highlighting her curves. She layered all of it with a custom Saint Laurent jacket featuring dark burgundy contrasts and shimmering crystal trim along the seams.
Further, adding a distinct football-inspired flair to the outfit, the back of the jacket was emblazoned with "MADONNA 10" in bold, crystal-embellished lettering. The lower half of her look comprised an array of high-octane footwear and legwear details. She was wearing fishnet tights and lace-trimmed thigh-high stockings. On one leg, she also sported a bright pink knee sleeve embellished with a glittering crystal star patch. Finally, she wore metallic leather Danceteria lace-up boots.
On her hands, Madonna sported a pair of custom fingerless gloves resembling traditional goalkeeper ones. Swarovski crystals adorned the gloves. She also had a bespoke crystal referee whistle hanging around her neck, which was a more literal nod to the sport. Further, Madonna accessorized with a Swarovski Millenia necklace. The crystals caught the stadium lights while she performed.
