Inspired by The Wire: Omar Little Football Shirt
The shirt of West Baltimore AFC, inspired by the greatest TV series in history, The Wire. The shirt's embroidered badge features images of a king and a pawn, alongside a chessboard pattern, in reference to the famous scene where D’Angelo teaches Bodie and Wallace how to play chess, using the analogy of the drug game and roles within the gang to explain the pieces. The badge also features the motto "the game is the game"; the fatalistic refrain that is often repeated by characters within the show to explain the rigidity of the systems they operate within, be it the drug trade, politics, policing, or education.
The front shirt sponsor is the Barksdale Organization, the drug gang led by Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell, with the tower in the "B" logo referencing the Franklin Terrace Towers from which the gang runs its drug operation. One sleeve sponsor features the sticker from the Baltimore branch of the International Brotherhood of Stevedores trade union (Local 1514), which is seen attached to the rear of the stolen police van, photos of which are regularly sent to Baltimore PD's Major Valchek from locations around the world in order to torment him. The opposite sleeve features the "Bubbles' Depo" logo, modelled on The Home Depot's, but with Bubbles' iconic shopping trolley.
The chessboard pattern also features on the all-over print with alternating squares of black and dark grey. On the rear of the shirt is the name "Omar" (for Omar Little, The Wire's iconic stickup man) and the number 13, both in a similar font to the show's logo. Finally, at the top of the back, is the logo of The Baltimore Sun, the newspaper that features in the plotline of the show's fifth and final season.
This shirt is being produced by Sigur Sportswear exclusively for RedMolotov.
