David Beckham has spoken of his pride at personally deciding that Inter Miami would play in pink – despite being warned against it.
With Lionel Messi now on the team, the jersey has become one of the most in-demand across the globe. The New York Times even claimed Beckham himself reportedly had to wait for more to be made this year when he wanted to gift one to a friend.
But years ago, when Beckham was planning for what he wanted Inter Miami to be and the idea of Messi in Major League Soccer was a wild dream, he decided that his club would play in pink.
Speaking to The Times, Beckham said: ‘Drive around Miami and it’s a very recurring color. At the time a lot of people were saying “don’t go for pink”.
‘I was the one who said it has to be the main color. So that was me. I’m actually very proud of it. I am glad I held my nerve and pushed it through.’
The specific shade, according to The Times, is Pantone 1895 C and it’s a color that fans are seeing more and more of, across the globe.
Messi has had a sensational impact on MLS in the short time he has been a Miami player.
