The City Edition uniform that KGC released this season stole not only the hearts of the players but also the hearts of Yang Hee-jong’s son.
In the 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot professional basketball game between Anyang KGC and Seoul Samsung held at Anyang Indoor Gymnasium on the 22nd, KGC players appeared wearing special uniforms.
This uniform was specially prepared for the 50th anniversary of Anyang’s promotion as the city uniform that KGC debuted this season. The purple-blue color that symbolizes Anyang City was used as the main color, and Gwanaksan Mountain, which represents Anyang City, and Anyang Gymnasium, the home stadium of KGC, were included. It expressed the club’s will to soar higher with Anyang.
A KGC official said, “We prepared a city uniform to mark the 50th anniversary of Anyang’s promotion. It was sold through a pre-order method, and a seat upgrade event and city uniform were presented to fans who visited the stadium on New Year’s Day. The satisfaction of the team is also high,” he said.
KGC players who played in City uniform dominated the court throughout the game. KGC, who did not allow a single turnaround, started the fourth quarter with a 30-point lead, 69-39. Thanks to an early victory, all 12 players in the entry stepped on the court wearing City uniforms. KGC, who easily suggested Samsung, won 91-66. 토토사이트
KGC rookie Koh Chan-hyuk scored 8 points in 11 minutes and 58 seconds. It was the first time he stayed on the court for more than 10 minutes after his debut, which made him more attached to the City uniform. Ko Chan-hyuk said, “The design is so pretty and I like it even more because it feels like a neon sign. Also, when I wear an event uniform, I always enter the entry once and it seems to be more meaningful (laughs). It has meaning and is pretty, so I plan to keep it well.”
The reaction of the team is unprecedented. Yang Hee-jong said, “This is the uniform I like the most. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the promotion of Anyang City, I think the collaboration between Anyang City and KGC is meaningful and has good energy. Originally, I was only going to wear it for one day on the 22nd, but the reaction from the players is really good. I plan to tell the secretariat that I want to wear it one more time (laughs). Depending on how the purple color is saved, it may look tacky, but the city uniform seems to have come out well,” he said positively.
Yang Hee-jong’s son Yang Tae-woong also cheered from the stands wearing a City uniform. Yang Hee-jong said, “I am grateful that you paid for the children. (Yang) Tae-woong only wears that to sleep these days.”
