The Philadelphia 76ers announced that they are airdropping the third out of their four Heritage NFT collection drops. The team’s latest NFT release went live on March 20 and offered ultimate fan packages and VIP experiences.
Basketball and blockchain collide as the crypto market rebounds
The sports industry has been among the few sectors experimenting with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for a while now. Although the market downturn has spread chaos in associated markets, the crypto sector has started recovering again. This means that the NFT space may see a potential uprising too.
The 76ers’ NFT collection release pays tribute to the sport’s progression and commemorates the path that propelled the team into international prominence. The collection encapsulates their journey from enduring high school and college competitions to shining on the NBA stage.
Exclusive fan treats with the Sixers’ NFT collection
The drop includes custom-designed merchandise and memorabilia available exclusively through this NFT collection. Primary purchasers of the original series are guaranteed a custom NFT 76ers hat, a custom NFT 76ers pennant, and a 76 Originals hooded sweatshirt.
For holders of any one-of-one auction NFTs on May 1, there are several rewards, including a commemorative piece of Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game court, signed Joel Embiid and Furkan Korkmaz merchandise, two 76ers courtside tickets, VIP warm-up viewing, and more.
NFTs revolutionizing sports fan engagement
The NFT market has been growing rapidly, and the Philadelphia 76ers are just one of many sports teams looking to capitalize on this trend.
As the crypto sector continues to recover, it is expected that the NFT space will see a potential uprising and the Sixers’ NFT drops are a hint of what could be a major shift in the sports industry’s approach to fan engagement and memorabilia.
The third Heritage NFT drop is now live, and fans have a chance to add to their collection.
