The South Korea 2016/17 Nike home jersey showcases the country’s traditional red, while the white away kit celebrates the dress of the storied Hwarang. The sides of the kits also feature striking blue stripes that run the length of the shirt and short. The stripes expand playes are in motion to maximize ventilation and reveal bold flashes of underlying yellow (home kit) and red (away kit). Blue home socks and red away socks highlight the most dynamic part of the footballer’s body, the lower legs, to accentuate speed.

“It’s an honor to play a game wearing the national team kit,” says Kwon Chang-Hoon, midfielder for the South Korea Men’s National Team. “And as Taegeuk Warriors in the new uniform, we will play our best to raise the nation’s football status on the global stage.”
