Clever apology, sorry because you didn’t know.
“We were doing an event and then, you know, things went a little left, and out of control, and I take full responsibility for that, cause you guys had no knowledge of what these girls would be wearing in this celebrity game,” Big Fendi said in the apology video.

Though skeptics have argued that a vegan diet lacks adequate protein and calories for top athletes, some competitors see the regimen as essential to their success. “I wasn’t a world champion before I was vegan, I was a world champion because I was vegan,” says Meagan Duhamel, 38, who won gold and bronze medals in team and pairs figure skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Duhamel, who eliminated all animal products from her diet in 2008, is an advocate of vegan sports nutrition. She retired in 2018 to coach other skaters and still credits her athletic success to daily bowls of oatmeal, homemade chickpea–peanut butter protein cookies, and lentil pastas.

The home kit is a callback to the 1974-5 season. The home goalkeeper shirt is almost the same as the 1974-5 away shirt.
Before that let me tell you about my old club Carlisle United who last night were promoted to the 1st Division for the first time in their history. That is the greatest feat in the history of the game.
Bill Shankly, at the 1974 FA Cup final pre-match press conference
The fixture lists are also out.
Carlisle start with a trip to Gillingham (get the furthest away game out of the way early), the first home game is against Barrow, Boxing Day is at home to Morecambe, Good Friday is home against Port Vale and the last day is at home to Salford City.
The EFL Cup and EFL Trophy draws are tomorrow.
