Top goal scorer of all-time Wayne Rooney jumps on the NFT hype dropping affordable NFTs. Ex-Manchester United manager Rooney went to Twitter. Changing his profile picture to one of the caricatures, leaving football and NFT fans in a whizz.
Rooney is arguably one of the best footballers to have played, scoring 253 goals in his steady career. He seems to have moved his focus away from football, to digital art in an unpredictable move. Heading to Twitter, Rooney promoted the drop of his NFT collection. He changed his profile picture to a caricature of himself holding a basketball.
He has understandably decided to team up with athlete-verified NFT platform Blockasset. Known for releasing exclusive athlete content. In addition, they have worked with household names such as Muhammad Ali and Michael Bisping, to name a few. Subsequently, Blockasset has a collection of Legends who make up the caricature NFTs. The collection hosts 10,000 generative NFTs in total. Meanwhile, each legend has 2,000 with their own characteristics and traits, including Rooney.
Usually, when someone makes a collection the first question on their mind is, will this line my pockets? Seemingly not with this collaboration. £40 is the initial asking price for the Wayne Rooney NFTs. Compared to many collections, that is cheap as chips. Whilst the initial sale is low, seeing the NFTs back on the market for a higher price is expected.
Blockasset showed that this is a meaningful and nostalgic experience to them, stating “It is inspired by childhood memories of opening sports cards and stickers, not knowing which athlete you’ll land.” Following that, Rooney is matching their excitement and eagerness to get the NFTs in peoples possession.
