insanely cool - the artemis II mission patch is reversible, and when the crew rounded the moon they flipped the patch to indicate they're coming back home

FYI, the new Nike World Cup jerseys apparently have a comically defective design that makes the shoulders "look a bit" like The Shredder

Todos habéis visto las *hombreras no deseadas* en las camisetas Nike para el Mundial

Lo que parecía un detalle estético menor se ha convertido en una polémica global

La marca está al tanto y ha deslizado a The Guardian que trabaja para "ajustar y perfeccionar" el error 👇 pic.twitter.com/Cw525MIYUd

Hey, that very strange shoulder seam “bulge” on the new Nike kits? I talked to them about it and they’re weighing what to do about it. Such a bizarre quirk to an otherwise stellar set of kits.

The US finally has some good-looking jerseys, and:

In a statement to the Guardian, Nike acknowledged the issue with shoulders, and said they’re looking into what can be done about it – if anything.

“During the recent international break, we observed a minor issue with our Nike national team kits, most noticeable around the shoulder seam,” the company said via a spokesperson. “Performance is unaffected, but the overall aesthetic is not where it needs to be.”

...

A source familiar with that design process told the Guardian this week that Nike’s “computational design” is driven by performance data, and incorporates elements of AI to work alongside the company’s designers
