A Model…Sequel
It’s happening!
(IGN)
Zoolander 2 (title may still be pending), the sequel to the 2001 cult classic, was officially announced today as Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson surprisingly strutted down the Valentino fashion runway at the conclusion of the Paris show as their famous model characters Derek and Hansel.
This sequel buzz is so hot right now.
Dressed in perfectly ridiculous outfits (including silk pajamas and what appears to be a silk suit), Stiller and Wilson caused camera phones to flash from every direction and hearts to race for all the right reasons. Perhaps the best comedic buddy duo since Harry and Lloyd, these male models look identical to their 2001-selves with a blue steel facial turn that will take your breath away.
The highly-anticipated sequel will be released on February 12, 2016. The story is going to be set and filmed in Europe, which wonderfully lends itself to outrageous situations and stereotypical realities of the international fashion world for the dim-witted, yet incredibly entertaining and really, really, really ridiculously good looking best friends.
Cool movie announcement Hansel and Derek.

Fans of Dan Brown (and “Inferno” in particular) are no doubt excited that details have and are being finalized for this amazing story’s Hollywood treatment. Along with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, next year is lining up to be well worth the wait.

America’s shining, beautiful soccer jersey?
The 2015 away kits have been revealed for the USMNT and USWNT. The human Bomb Pops appear to have finally melted away its final steady defender (sort of like the real USMNT) in favor of a jersey that features shades of blue, blue and blue.
(Footy Headlines)
The above design is virtually the exact same for both the USMNT and USWNT, with the primary exception of the two World Cup stars for the women. Also, the design is the same on the front and the back. Considering the fact that the shade of blue closest to the one stitched on the American flag is the darker portion at the bottom, that seems like a really peculiar miss for Nike. By the way, did Nike run out of the color red or is that going to be more prominently featured in a new home jersey? It’s kind of a great color. After all, the U.S. is the red, white and blue.
Speaking of which, what was wrong with the “Where’s Waldo?” jersey?
As has been mentioned on this blog before (as starting points), the collar should be blue to represent a gritty, relentless blue collar work ethic with a jersey design that is sharp to symbolize a cool and innovative white collar style of play. This would encapsulate the spirit and identity of America and its daring declaration of independence, from its inception in 1776 through today and into the future.
The new jersey is better than the Bomb Pops, but it looks like a training shirt. When the designers and the brightest minds at Nike Soccer have the American flag, its beautiful combination of colors, our nation’s history (soccer and non-soccer) and lots of time, it’s a sincere mystery how this becomes the final product.
Perhaps I’m being too harsh, except I don’t think I am. It may look a little better on the field with names and numbers, but it still begs the question of what the design could (and should) have been.
Most of all, I wish American ingenuity had been a component for this new soccer jersey.
