English soccer team to sell lingerie after Katy Perry wears top made from team’s jerseys

English soccer team sells Katy Perry-inspired top

LONDON — West Ham is selling lingerie after singer Katy Perry wore a top made out of three jerseys at this month’s MTV Europe Music Awards.

The American singer wore a claret-and-blue corset with the Premier League club’s badges on the chest at the Nov. 5 show in Berlin as a tribute to her boyfriend, British comedian and Hammers fan Russell Brand.

West Ham says it is responding “to huge demand” for the outfit.

Designer Siobhan Dillon says she “thought it would be cool to try and make the shirt as football-oriented as possible.” Dillon will initially make 50 of the tops, to be sold for around $500 each.
