STAYC was seen wearing the wrong "Rangers" uniform during the girl group's concert held in Dallas, Texas, on Thursday as part of its world tour.

Instead of wearing jerseys for the Texas Rangers baseball team — a Major League Baseball team — the group's members wore uniforms of Rangers Football Club, a Scottish professional soccer club based in Glasgow, Scotland, during the performance, leaving fans to wonder whether the agency didn't know they are two different teams.

"We had a bit of a mix-up as we were purchasing the uniforms," STAYC's agency, Highup Entertainment told the Korea JoongAng Daily on Wednesday, admitting there was a mistake.

"We will be more cautious in the future," the agency added.

However, it wasn't all bad news for the girl group, as Scottish fans of STAYC and fans of the Rangers Football Club were seen welcoming the 'mix-up' online.
