Glasgow City Women's Team to Wear Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Name on Jerseys

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — The Glasgow City women’s soccer team will wear Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s name on their jerseys this season in honor of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice, the club said Wednesday.

The Scottish league champion said Ginsburg’s name will appear on the left sleeve of the team’s jerseys, which will be unveiled before the season kicks off next month.

“A pioneer, feminist icon and role model, her work, rulings and dissenting opinions have paved the way for justice, equality and civil liberties,” club manager and co-founder Laura Montgomery said.

Ginsburg died last week of complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer, the court said.
