Autograph, a sports-focused NFT marketplace founded by Tom Brady, has announced the launch of 'Signature Experiences,' a new interactive program that intends to function as a digital fan club.
The new program will start with the launch of The Huddle, a digital membership club aimed at bringing fans closer to Brady's inner circle. Set to launch on Sept 8, The Huddle will offer users a 'Season Ticket' NFT, which, for a one-time purchase, will grant them access to the platform for the entirety of the 2022-2023 NFL season.
"Fandom has existed in the same paradigm for a long time, and we believe that Web3 technology is an opportunity to reshape the connections between teams, players, icons, and their fan communities, creating a more connected and rewarding experience," said Brady in a recent press statement. "I love what we have been able to do so far at Autograph, and I know this is only the beginning."
