French club Red Star FC has launched its new third kit earlier this week. And while this usually would be no big news as they are "just a French third division club", they have released a kit that is actually not a kit...
Si dans le foot la mode est au 3ème maillot, le @RedStarFC a décidé d'en lancer un dans la lignée de ses valeurs. #TheThirdShirt est un tatouage à apposer sur le cœur.
Dispo ce soir à Bauer.

Red Star FC 19-20 Third Jersey Is Tatoo To Affix On Heart
The Red Star FC 2019-20 third shirt is not a football shirt but just a tatoo. Sounds strange - yes.
"If in football fashion is the 3rd jersey, Red Star FC has decided to launch one in the line of its values. The Third Shirt is a tattoo to affix on the heart."
This comes a few weeks after a big controversy around the two jerseys 2019-2020 Red Star, which ditched the traditional & historical green and white colors in favor of a mixture of black and green on the home shirt and pink and black on the outer jersey.
The Red Star FC 2019-20 third kit, which is just a ephemeral tattoo, was given away for free in the club's stadium last match day. It is also available to buy in the club's online store - fans can pay what they want for it / select their price (at least 0,50 Euro).
