Hong Kong artists experienced a "wow" moment when they saw their shirt number design worn by Son Heung-min and his Tottenham Hotspur teammates. The players sported the design in front of a record-breaking crowd.
Tottenham Hotspur's visit to Hong Kong as part of the Hong Kong Football Festival has generated considerable buzz, with local fans enthusiastically embracing the event. Amidst the excitement, a group of Hong Kong artists found themselves in the spotlight after their design was chosen to be featured on the team's jerseys.
Son Heung-min, the South Korean star, is a popular figure, and a large graffiti mural celebrating him was unveiled in London in 2022. The mural, designed by British graffiti artist Gnasher Murals, is located in Tottenham, near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Son's achievements, including winning the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2021-22 season, have made him a fan favorite.
The appearance of Son Heung-min and other Spurs stars wearing the Hong Kong artists' design is a source of pride and excitement for the local art community.
