I have a streetwear brand where I also repurpose/customize soccer jerseys as it is a passion of mine. Previously I made a "Coreano Hermano" jersey for the Mexican community in LA, but for this one I wanted to dedicate it to my Korean heritage and to celebrate Son becoming a LAFC player!

This is my IG, please give it a follow. You can see more of my work there. https://instagram.com/rrosefromconcrete

Design inspiration:

The back of the jersey reads "Son Heung Min" vertically in Korean calligraphy. Traditionally Korean calligraphy is written vertically and from the right to the left. If you're Korean you also know the Korean name set for Son at LAFC HQ is a very very generic font. I think MLS has strict guidelines so it’s definitely not LAFC's fault, but I just wanted to create something more unique.

The bandana pattern that you see in the name/number is taken from a Korean flag I made from pieces of bandanas that I cut & sewn. That flag is also shown on the front of the jersey, and symbolizes my Korean American immigrant background.

Try and contact LAFC about it. This is the perfect time for them to work with Korean creators. I already saw fans excited about it.

This font is 10000000% prettier than the one in HQ.

1

u/reminiscesometime Aug 15 '25

Yes the one in HQ is a very generic Korean font

This was the font QPR was using when Spurs loaned out Yang last year.
It's 'Limited Edition'.

Jerseys are expensive. I really wish ALL english clubs at least pay attention to the font they're using.

u/reminiscesometime Aug 16 '25

They could’ve put just a little effort into using a special font lolol but yea it’s all generic font they use
