SPORTAINMENT IS CHANGING SPORT – AND THE JERSEY ALONG WITH IT
Formats like the Kings League or the Baller League polarise audiences. Some love them. Others reject them outright. For us, that debate is secondary. A far more interesting question is this: Why are these formats emerging right now – and what are they changing beyond the pitch?

The problem is clear: sponsors expect more activation, fans expect more experience, management expects more innovation. And somewhere between all of that you ask yourself: How can a single product create more [...]
