Hi Medan
ReplyDeleteI'm seeking your assistance. I live in Victoria, a state of Australia, and I'm involved in football in the west of that state.
A new team has entered the competition this year from a very small town, and I think the team comprises members of the Karen community.
They look like they have few football resources, so I'm seeking to assist. I'd like also to help get them some playing shirts. What colour or colour combination for shirts, shorts, and socks in your opinion is most suitable for a team wishing to pay recognition to its Karen origins?
best wishes
Alan
Sorry for the late reply but I just recently stumbled upon this blog and as a fellow karen, the karen flag will do. But if it has to be full color and no picture then I suggest Red for shirt, white for shorts and blue for socks just like the flag. :D
