Dallas

STAYC experienced a wardrobe mix-up during their Teenfresh world tour stop in Dallas when the group intended to wear Texas Rangers jerseys but instead had two members appear in jerseys from the Glasgow Rangers. STAYC intended to wear Texas Rangers jerseys to honor the Major League Baseball team, but members Sumin and ISA wore Glasgow Rangers jerseys during the October 19, 2023 concert in Dallas, Texas. The agency representing the group acknowledged the error and said it would take greater care in future costume selection. Fans reacted on social media with mostly humorous responses, and supporters of the Scottish club welcomed the unintended shout-out.

Key facts up front

The concert took place on October 19, 2023, in Dallas, Texas. Members Sumin and ISA wore Glasgow Rangers jerseys. Highup Entertainment acknowledged the mix-up and said the agency would be more cautious in future costume choices. Fans of the Glasgow Rangers embraced the mistake, with comments celebrating the group’s inadvertent support of their team.

Details and immediate context

The incident occurred during STAYC’s first world tour, titled the ‘Teenfresh’ tour. The group has previously paid local homage to host cities by wearing sports-themed attire at other North American stops. Previous concerts saw the group paying homage to local teams by wearing Mets and Yankees (in New York) and Bears and Bulls (in Chicago) attire. The Dallas appearance was intended to follow that same pattern of local nods, but a cross-sport and cross-country jersey mix-up drew attention online.

Social media users posted photos and clips from the Dallas show, with many replies characterizing the incident as a light-hearted mistake rather than a deliberate choice. Fans of the Scottish club posted messages celebrating the unexpected recognition, while some local and neutral viewers pointed out the visual difference between the two teams’ kits.

Agency response and next steps

Highup Entertainment, the group’s management, confirmed the team noticed a purchasing error in the wardrobe process and indicated it would be more careful about costume choices going forward. The agency framed the matter as an unintentional oversight rather than a deliberate statement.

Background on STAYC and recent activities

STAYC debuted in November 2020 and consists of six members: Sumin, Sieun, ISA, Seeun, Yoon, and J. The act gained attention with tracks including “ASAP,” “RUN2U,” and “STEREOTYPE” and built a heavy live schedule over recent years. They performed 121 times in 2023 alone. The group released multiple projects in 2023, and their latest mini-album is titled ‘Teenfresh’.

STAYC’s latest mini-album, ‘Teenfresh’, features the lead single ‘Bubble’ and is their second release in 2023. The mini-album cycle and the tour have been central to the group’s promotional activities this year, and the tour stop in Dallas was one of several international dates on the schedule.

Upcoming schedule and larger context

The group’s upcoming performance in London is scheduled for November as part of ‘Korea On Stage in London’, alongside other K-pop acts like ATEEZ and BOYNEXTDOOR. That appearance is part of a broader run of international engagements timed around the group’s release calendar and festival appearances.

STAYC marked a career milestone this year by celebrating its fifth anniversary, an occasion the group used to highlight their growth since debut and the role of live performances in strengthening connections with fans.

Why the detail matters

The Dallas wardrobe error attracted attention because it mixed symbols of different sports cultures and geographies: a U.S. Major League Baseball team and a Scottish football club. The incident underscores how global tours and cross-border merchandise sourcing can create unintentional mismatches, and how quickly such moments spread and are reacted to on social media.
