At Dallas Gig, K-Pop Band Pays Tribute to Wrong Rangers

Members of K-Pop girl group STAYC have been wearing the jerseys of local sports teams during their tour of the US—but there was apparently a big mix-up before their recent concert in Dallas. While some of the group’s six members wore Dallas Cowboys or Dallas Mavericks jerseys, two wore jerseys not from the Texas Rangers baseball team, but from the Glasgow Rangers, one of Scotland’s main soccer teams, the New York Times reports. The Rangers jerseys, which had been fashioned into crop tops, were replicas of the team’s shirts from the 1996-7 season, one of the most successful in the club’s history, reports the Guardian.

The jerseys had the logo of then-sponsor McEwan’s Lager. Scottish soccer fans were amused by the mix-up. “Rangers are the Kings of K-Pop,” one quipped in a post on X. The BBC notes that it’s not unheard of for American celebrities including Samuel L. Jackson and Mike Tyson to wear Glasgow Rangers attire, while Snoop Dogg often wears jerseys from their bitter rivals, Celtic. (The Texas Rangers, meanwhile, have qualified for their first World Series since 2011.)
