Decentralized Football Academy Unveil Jerseys and new Gear

It’s been almost 6 months since we began our journey with the academy, and the goal from the onset was to make it a standard to provide all the necessary gear for the team, freely with the funds raised through the drills published via the Andre Gray Football Academy (AGFA) portal, backed by @Oracle-D and Steem post rewards. DFA's objective is to help the young boys with inspiration and motivation, as a means to help them achieve their dreams of becoming professional football players.

After several months of promising to provide jerseys, we are thrilled to announce that we've obtained them!

You may notice the design is different from the one on the Medium and Introduction posts, this is because there were challenges with the jersey design; It cannot be easily designed in Nigeria, the shipping costs from Indonesia are higher than the cost of the jerseys, and the American companies we looked into could not provide us any designs that didn't fit their templates, due to standards set for copyright liability protections. After exhausting our efforts in communicating with these companies, we ultimately decided to go for alternative, and easiest option. This is the route we decided to take.

We will be unveiling our new jerseys and gear today. Big thanks to Oracle-D for the support thus far, it’s the platform that inspired this and keeps the hope alive!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has been supporting us, even with as little as $0.0002 upvotes, it all adds up, and it means so much to us. Thank you!
