Premier League champs Manchester City announce another NFT drop
English Premier League club, Manchester City, has released a second NFT (non-fungible token) collection.
This follows one in May with artist Jon Noorlander to mark winning the Premier League title.
City has launched a Creation collection, comprised of three pieces by mixed media artist, Alan Bolton, The Football Laboratory, The Football Academy and To The Blue Moon.
The artworks, according to a press release, “combine into a triptych depicting an abstract representation of the process of creating the perfect footballer”.
As a part of the drop, there will also be a limited edition collectors’ draw featuring a fourth artwork, The Football Artists, with each edition bearing the signature of a different member of Manchester City’s 2021/22 squad.
Participation will be open to owners of artwork by Manchester City or Alan Bolton, and the winners of the draw will each receive one of the pieces.
The Creation collection will be available on MakersPlace on Tuesday, 7th September.
Don Dransfield, Chief Strategy Officer at City Football Group, says: “We are incredibly pleased to be following up our first NFT drop with a new and exciting digital art collection.”
“This further advance in NFTs and progression of our strategy within the sector demonstrates our ongoing commitment to sustainable innovation.”
He adds: “The NFT world is moving incredibly quickly and we are eager to continue to work and collaborate with talented creators to create original artwork for fans and collectors to own through blockchain technology.”
“Alan Bolton’s signature style of merging the natural with the industrial has created an incredible collection of digital artwork.”
“It is the perfect follow up to our first drop with Jon Noorlander and showcases some of the most distinctive art-based NFTs which sports teams have been engaged with.”
