Football Merchandise
The growth of football as a sport is now global. People know the famous teams from every corner of the world; Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, LA Galaxy, River Plate, Liverpool FC, all famous names with a long and exalted histories. The obsession with The Beautiful Game has fanned an accompanying obsession for collectors to accumulate a wide range of different memorabilia. Football memorabilia is big business. There are the usual things like football scarves and hats, the more traditional supporter's collectables, but the most fanatical collector, there is always the dream of finding something unique or individual about the team you support. So, what can you buy for the fan who has everything?
Signed football pictures of your favourite stars, or even those from further back in the club's history area always popular. Large, framed pictures are becoming increasingly collectable as an art form in themselves. The annual team photograph is always popular, especially after a season when the team has done particularly well. Supporters like to talk about their special team from a particular campaign. How better to start the discussion than by having the picture in front of you.
Major teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have their own calendars. A year- round attachment to your team. These teams have also latched on to the income generated by stadium tours, and many of the top teams have their own 'museum', which forms part of the stadium tour. These tours are popular with businesses as well as ordinary fans, a chance to see what goes on behind the scenes.
Some clubs have adopted the idea of allowing fans to buy shares in the club. You will receive a share certificate and be invited to Annual General Meetings as part owner of a real football club. You can keep your club with you by buying a club personal diary. Many of them have important club dates and historical facts about the club, as well as being practical.
Imagine the idea of commenting on your team as they play an important cup final. With one idea available, you pick the team, the opponents and the final score and it is then turned into a personal CD of your match commentary.
