In a July 4 blog post, WAGMI United confirmed ready plans to unleash a new NFT collection this Wednesday, July 6. The crypto investment firm hinted about the NFTs project earlier last week.

Nonetheless, WAGMI United co-founders Preston Johnson and Eben Smith will decide whether to keep those roles if the Crawley Town sports club will not qualify for League One in the next season. While commenting about the NFT project, Johnson said:
“There are some traditional sports teams claiming to be ‘community-owned.’ But what do fans get? A piece of paper they can frame on their wall? We think they deserve more than that.”
“We want Crawley Town FC to be a community club that reaches anyone with an internet connection. Doing that means giving our fans a real voice in decisions that make a difference on the field and meaningfully contributes to writing the next chapter in the club’s storied 125-year history.”
The Adidas’ New Partnership
Adidas joined the digital asset space in 2021, paving the way for creators, athletes, and fans to enter the Metaverse. Nonetheless, the new partnership with WAGMI will unlock more possibilities in the sports industry, allowing sports fans to build a deep sense of community and belonging around their favorite team. While commenting about the new partnership, Nick Craggs, the General Manager of Adidas, explained:
“Our partnership with WAGMI United has allowed us to work with Crawley Town FC. We’re excited to be providing Adidas products for the club, to be part of their community, and to support their future endeavors in the game.”

Notably, this is the first time for Adidas to have this kind of partnership with the League Two Club. According to WAGMI, the new integration it’s a true embodiment of “We Are Gonna Make It” ethos.
