URBAN REFUGEE
URBAN REFUGEE IS STL’S DIGITAL ARM AND AN ECOMMERCE WEBSITE. URBAN REFUGEE IS SELLING TSHIRTS, SWEATSHIRTS AND HOODIES FOR THE FIRST SIXTEEN (16) FAN OWNED AND CONTROLLED FOOTBALL CLUBS UNDER THE STL LEAGUE UMBRELLA.
THE NAME URBAN REFUGEE HAS ITS ORIGIN IN OUR BELIEF THAT THE SYSTEM OF GLOBAL CAPITALISM CREATES PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHICALLY ALIENATED HUMAN BEINGS. WE ARE ONTOLOGICALLY SPEAKING, REFUGEES FROM OUR OWN SELVES; AND GIVEN THAT WE ARE ALL ON THE PATH, WHETHER WE REALIZE IT OR NOT, TO HEALING THAT ALIENATION, AND BECAUSE MORE THAN HALF THE PLANET LIVES IN CITIES, WE FELT THAT URBAN REFUGEE WAS MORE THAN AN APPROPRIATE NAME FOR THIS INITIATIVE.
