Since Nike became the NBA’s official jersey partner in 2017, the Utah Jazz have seen a total of 16 new jerseys. Some are among the greatest the NBA have ever seen, and others are an abomination to the sport of basketball. For no particular reason, I’ve decided to rank every single Utah Jazz jersey in the Nike era, to see what truly is the best and worst jersey during this time. Note: I will not be ranking any throwbacks. That includes the 2019-20 and 2022-23 90s throwbacks, the 2023-24 New Orleans throwbacks and the 2018-19 80s purple throwbacks. 16. 2022-25 Icon “The highlighters” A contender for one of the worst uniforms in Jazz history, NBA history, sports history… maybe the worst piece of clothing ever conceived. There’s a reason that Utah only wore these once during its last season in the rotation during 2024-25. These will forever be a symbol of the worst rebrand in modern American sports history. 15. 2022-25 Association The yellow trim on these are so offensively bad, and yet the white and black is somehow just as offensively boring. I genuinely think I’ve seen more fans wearing the highlighter jerseys than these. That’s how boring and ugly these were. 14. 2021 Earned These jerseys had the potential to be a lot cooler, but the lime green clashed with the dark green and blue of the court. If they had made a specialty court with the right colors, these could have been ranked a lot higher, but they never looked as good as I wanted. 13. 2025-26 City After speculation about the Jazz returning to the beloved sunset city jerseys from the Donovan Mitchell days, instead fans were given gray. Everything great about the sunsets is everything that’s wrong with these. Dull colors, boring, don’t stick out, etc. I would never go as far to call these “ugly,” but they are by far the worst city editions Utah has ever had. 12. 2022-25 Statement These aren’t nearly as egregious as the other two yellow ones from this era. In fact, they actually didn’t look too bad when paired with the Jazz’s black court, but I refuse to give points to the most basic jersey in the franchise’s history. These look like rec league jerseys. 11. 2017-22 Statement Who could forget Rodney Hood debuting the Jazz’s first ever “statement” edition jerseys at the NBA’s unveiling of their new alternate uniforms in 2017. Donovan Mitchell performed a lot of highlights in these during his rookie season, and the all-gold/yellow look was actually pretty well-received by fans. The problem is, they haven’t aged well at all. By the end of their run in 2022, this look was hardly being used. I would go as far as saying that of any jersey during the Nike era, this one has aged the worst. 10. 2024-25 City A good jersey, but in my opinion it’s the much lesser version of the 90s set. I liked the other purple jerseys that have come out in the last two years far more than this one. Every time they wore this, I was wishing they would just wear the old throwbacks instead. 9. 2018-19 Earned One of two “earned edition” jerseys that the NBA rolled out to teams who made the playoffs the year prior, the Jazz debuted these on Christmas Day against the Trail Blazers in 2018. These were my favorite green jerseys of the 2010s/2020s, and I think were severely underused. That’s the shame of the Nike era. So many beautiful NBA jerseys were only worn a handful of times in a season, only to be never seen again. 8. 2017-22 Icon Not much to say about these. A really good set of jerseys to have in your main rotation. These aren’t gonna make any list of the greatest Jazz jerseys, but as Jazz fans came to learn in 2022, you can never take good jerseys for granted. 7. 2024-present Statement These are really good. Great even. But they are definitely a tier below the home and away (association and icon) sets the Jazz wear currently. These had a really cool court paired with them in 2024-25, that made for a really cool scene live. Parts of me wishes that court could’ve made its way into this season to be worn…

(RNS) — Bishop Stewart Ruch, an Anglican bishop accused of mishandling abuse allegations and failing to safeguard parishioners in his care, was found not guilty on all counts after a tumultuous trial that spanned more than four months, a church court announced Tuesday (Dec. 16). The decision comes more than six years after a 9-year-old child in the Upper Midwest Diocese, which is led by Ruch, first came forward with sexual abuse allegations against a lay minister, who has since been convicted of felony sexual assault and felony child sexual assault. More than 10 clergy and other lay leaders in Ruch’s diocese have been accused of misconduct, a pattern that abuse advocates say resulted from Ruch’s leadership failures. Ruch’s trial came amid a broader crisis over sexual misconduct charges in the denomination. The denomination’s leader, Archbishop Steve Wood, was temporarily suspended from ministry in November in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment, bullying and plagiarism against him. On Friday, the denomination announced Wood will face his own church trial. Ruch was the second bishop tried in the Anglican Church in North America, which was formed in 2009 by congregations that withdrew from the Anglican Canadian and the Episcopal Church over various disagreements, primarily acceptance of women priests, LGBTQ+ affirmation and a new version of the Book of Common Prayer, a key unifying text of the Anglican Communion. In two different sets of charges, Ruch had been accused of mishandling misconduct allegations in his diocese or knowingly welcoming individuals with histories of predatory behavior into diocesan churches without alerting church members. The seven-member court, which included bishops, priests and lay members, set out to address four charges: that Ruch habitually neglected the duties of the bishop’s office; that he engaged in conduct “giving just cause for scandal or offense,” including abuse of church power; that he violated his ordination vows; and that he disobeyed or willingly violated church bylaws. The court members determined that none of the evidence presented by the provincial prosecutor met the “clear and convincing evidence” standard and that Ruch did not violate church bylaws. “Across the entire timeline, from 2019 through 2023, no evidence demonstrated that Bishop Ruch willfully contravened canonical authority or habitually neglected episcopal responsibilities,” the order says. “The evidence further showed that many of the failures identified in this narrative arose from deficiencies in provincial systems, ambiguous safeguarding expectations, the hybrid and decentralized Greenhouse structure, and the Province’s own investigatory practices. These are institutional, not personal, failings.” The court’s final order characterized the two presentments — the church term for lists of charges — brought against Ruch as “entirely unsupported by evidence,” attributing the accusations against him as based largely on hearsay. “Rumor, online advocacy, and social media narratives profoundly shaped perceptions of events, expectations of episcopal wrongdoing, and pressure on the Province to act. Yet none of these influences produced evidence or were grounded in firsthand knowledge,” the court members wrote. The court did not deny that Ruch’s trial exposed flaws in the denomination’s protocols about abuse. “A verdict of not guilty under our Canons does not erase the harm endured, nor does it excuse systemic deficiencies, failures of perception, or areas in which the Church must grow,” the court members wrote. “The evidence presented revealed circumstances in which mistakes occurred, in which systems proved inadequate, and in which assumptions and miscommunications caused additional pain.” Ahead of the trial’s start, an author of one of the presentments voiced concerns about the court proceeding, telling Religion News Service that several abuse survivors were not contacted to be witnesses.

FIFA has rolled out a new ticket pricing option for the 2026 World Cup, setting some seats at $60 for supporters of qualified national teams. The decision follows widespread complaints about steep initial prices that left many fans sidelined. The Supporter Entry Tier prices tickets at $60 for every one of the 104 games, right up to the final. These are reserved for backers of teams that made it through qualifiers, with each national federation in charge of handing them out. Federations decide their own standards, aiming to reward committed followers linked to their squads. Each federation’s batch has half in the cheaper brackets: 40% in the Supporter Value Tier and 10% in the Entry Tier. The other half splits between Standard and Premier levels. Supporters whose sides bow out early get full refunds minus any admin costs. Requests have topped 20 million in the random draw sales window, which kicked off December 11 and ends January 13, 2026. The event runs across Canada, Mexico, and the United States from June 11 to July 19, 2026. Complaints surged when FIFA first posted prices, with final game spots hitting over $4,000 in some cases. Reports from outlets highlighted fan frustration over the exclusive feel. FIFA added this tier to ease costs for those traveling with their teams. As we all know by now, Costa Rica fell short in qualifiers, missing out on the tournament after a 0-0 draw with Honduras in November sealed their exit. La Sele’s run ended without a spot, despite strong showings in past World Cups like 2022 in Qatar, where crowds of Ticos turned up regardless of high expenses. With no qualification, Costa Rican fans lack access to these discounted federation tickets. Still, general sales remain open, and some may head north for games at nearby sites in Mexico or the U.S. FIFA points to its nonprofit setup, directing World Cup earnings toward soccer growth in all 211 member groups. More than 90% of the 2023-2026 funds go to men’s, women’s, and youth efforts. Anyone can apply at FIFA.com/tickets. The draw gives equal shots no matter when you enter. As qualifiers wrap, focus shifts to local play, with teams like Saprissa and Alajuelense building the next crop for future bids.
