Red Devils Release New Team Shirt
The Red Devils, which is the fan club for the Korean National Soccer team for those new to Korea has released a new soccer t-shirt to replace their extremely lame 2002 “Be the Reds” shirt:
The Red Devils, the supporters club of Korea’s national football team, will release an official T-shirt to replace the unofficial one sported by fans since 2002 and secure exclusive rights to the merchandise. It hopes fans will embrace the new slogan “REDS, GO TOGETHER†instead of “Be the Reds,†which adorns the old T-shirt for which the club was unable to get copyright, making billions for makers of knock-off brands. The new shirts are copyrighted and will be exclusively sold through the casual clothing brand Basic House.
The design of the shirt is much better than the 2002 version, but I think the slogan could still use some work, but then again the shirt is not marketed towards foreigners. The slogan works well for Koreans familar with Konglish, so I’m sure the Red Devil fan club is going to make a killing on this; especially if they get everyone’s favorite soccer fan to wear one again:
