Koreans love clothing with completely inane slogans and sports teams. New York hats with the Nebraska "N" and a slew of Jackie Robinson merchandise springs to mind. Generally, being the avid man of sports that I am, I like to keep an eye out hoping one day I'll run into a Korean attired in something of personal significance to my rooting interest. Early on in Korea, I saw a young buck with a San Antonio Spurs hat. Score!! You'd think so, but I was not fully engulfed in Korean nonsense at that point, and therefore, the gem was lost on me to a degree.
Lost on me until yesterday that is! I ended up coming up the steps at Woninjae Station where I live, and passed by a girl in a purple, acid wash sweatshirt with "Superbowl XXXI" blasted across it and a huge GB Packers emblem. Alas, after running through the gamut of oddly colored Yankee, Red Sox & White Sox merchandise, I came across the holy grail of all finds. And yes, the Packers should toy with the thought of ditching the green and gold for acid wash purple; it works.
Sadly, this approximate recreation took far longer than it should have to make:
