As the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs gear up to kick off the NFL season on Thursday, the online discussion platform Reddit dropped a sizable batch of NFT<\/a>-backed avatars to commemorate the league\u2019s 32 teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

The wave of digital assets represents one of the largest collections of so-called Collectible Avatars released by Reddit to date, the company told <\/span>Decrypt<\/span><\/i>.<\/span> They are priced at $25 per \u201cSnoo\u201d NFT\u2014reflecting the company\u2019s iconic alien mascot\u2014and capped at 500 per NFL team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans of the Philadelphia Eagles or the aforementioned Super Bowl champion Chiefs may be familiar with the concept of NFL-themed avatars. That\u2019s because the latest collection released by Reddit follows a <\/span>free set<\/span><\/a> dropped alongside the league’s championship game last February.<\/span><\/p>\n

The online discussion board is known to host colorful chats on game day, including within communities like <\/span>r\/NFL<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>r\/NFCEastMemeWar<\/span><\/a>. The collectibles could serve as a new way for fans to represent their teams in respective comment sections as digital lines are drawn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among NFL teams and collectibles sold, the New England Patriots appear to be the most popular as of this writing with 41 of 500 NFT avatars solid, followed by the Chiefs and Eagles, according to Reddit’s shop page. Only five each have been purchased representing the Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n

Reddit stepped into the realm of NFTs last summer, tapping Polygon<\/a>\u2014an Ethereum<\/a> scaling network designed around cheaper and faster transactions for large-scale projects and mints\u2014as its network of choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reddit has built upon that initial foray with several <\/span>subsequent collections<\/span><\/a>, and 22 million collectible avatars have been minted so far among 18 million unique holders, according to a <\/span>dashboard<\/span><\/a> on the crypto analytics platform Dune.<\/span><\/p>\n

The link between sports fans and digital assets has been documented in surveys, including one last year from Seton Hall University that found sports fans are <\/span>twice as likely<\/span><\/a> to own Bitcoin<\/a>, Ethereum, or NFTs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reddit\u2019s digital collectibles are held within a user\u2019s so-called Vault, a digital wallet native to the firm\u2019s mobile app that was <\/span>rolled out<\/span><\/a> last summer as well. Other crypto features from the platform, like community-specific <\/span>tokens<\/span><\/a>, are also held there.<\/span><\/p>\n
