Stanford is red…it’s just become synonymous with me. That’s who I am, Sun Day Red,” Woods explained.
Sun Day Red stands out as a unique brand, fueled by a passionate team of designers and staff, all operating from its headquarters. Although the brand is launching its men’s line first, Woods explained it will expand with women’s and kids’ items soon. Sun Day Red launches on May 1 at www.sundayred.com.

Nigerian Super Eagles player Alexander Iwobi has responded after facing intense criticism following Nigeria’s loss in the AFCON finals. The distraught footballer took a drastic step by clearing his Instagram posts on Monday, February 12, initially leaving only one promotional post for his brand but eventually clearing that as well. Iwobi’s action came in the wake of relentless trolling by Nigerians who blamed him for the team’s defeat against Ivory Coast.
As the nephew of the iconic Nigerian footballer, Jay Jay Okocha, expectations were high for Iwobi to emulate his uncle’s stellar performances. However, his perceived subpar performance in the AFCON finals drew the attention of fans, leading to widespread online ridicule.
