Sevilla fans pay to have photo on official jersey
from dirty tackle:
if i was a sevilla fan, i'd be all over this! is it worth the €24.9? discuss
Always looking for a new way to squeeze money out of their most loyal supporters, football clubs have found a new racket that could soon become common practice -- letting fans pay to have a tiny picture of themselves worn by the player of their choice.
Taking a cue from the Million Dollar Homepage, Sevilla have become the first top flight football club to sell small squares within each player's number on the back of their shirts featuring a photo of the buyer for €24.9 each.
The idea of a company called Playing 2, Sevilla fans (or anyone else) can go to their website, select the player they want to wear their mug and the exact spot on the number they want to appear for the entire season.
From Footy-Boots.com:As mentioned, Sevilla are the first team to utilize this money-making scheme and will soon be joined by fellow Spaniards Granada, with the Welsh Rugby Union team set to hand a UK debut to Playing 2 during the Six Nations.
Despite being only a 2 x 2mm picture (yes, that's right, millimetres) Sevilla have reported a positive reaction from fans, commenting "People do seem willing to pay for the chance to be on the back of their idol,"
Clubs will welcome that positive fan reaction, too — as Playing 2 offers a seriously lucrative source of revenue; with 3,142 photos capable of being crammed into a single number, each digit on a player's jersey is potentially worth over 75,000 Euros.
That won't exactly fund the next €50 million transfer, but if your club is in financial trouble, it could help.
As long as fans are willing to pay for this, it seems like a no-brainer for pretty much every club in the world to jump on board. There just better be someone checking these pictures before they get printed onto the players' shirts so no one sneaks a full moon or a rival club's crest on there. Then again, at 2x2mm, no one would notice anyway...

That is very very cool. Not sure if I would pay for it, but if one of my clubs did this I'd be pretty excited. Very innovative idea as well.

i wouldn't pay 2p in all honesty
it'd only be worth it if you were able to buy a replica of the shirt or something. or at least a big photo print showing your pic on it too

It would be tough for me to pay that much to have it done but it would be pretty awesome
