Short explanation:
The red, black, and white colors come from the national colors of
the Zartanian people and from the Eastern Zartanian flag. On the right
front chest of the uniform is the coat-of-arms of the Kingdom outlined
in white. The jersey number appears small on the bottom left front corner,
and larger in the center of the back. On the right front leg of the shorts
is a gold crown overlaid by a sword: the Royal Seal, as the King personally
finances the team.
