Won't Be Roma Certainly - One Socios Team To Let Fans Pick 2021 Home and Away Kits Designs
A esport or football team will let their fans choose the design of their 2021 home and away kits, a Tweet of cryptocurrency fans app 'Socios' suggests.

The cryptocurrency firm Socios is the first “tokenized football fan voting platform.” Founded around 2018, Socios is the "Fan Token partner of the world's biggest sports & esports organizations". They have also partnered up with football teams such Barcelona, Roma, Juventus and PSG.
Socios Partner Team To Let Fans Pick Up 2021 Home and Away Kit Designs
Socios announced on Twitter that "In 2021, a Socios team will allow Fan Token holders to pick the design of the home AND away kits". Nothing more was revealed yet.
The superfan can vote on club-specific decisions
As described on Socios' website, one of the main features of the app is that it allows fans to "get you closer to the team you love by allowing you – the superfan – to vote on club-specific decisions".
A first-of-its-kind mobile app for football fans, Socios.com gets you closer to the team you love by allowing you – the superfan – to vote on club-specific decisions. Maybe your team wants to change their crest; maybe they want to check opinion on a kit design; or maybe they want to know who fans would like to meet at a club event – it’s you they will ask, and it’s you they will listen to. It’s like having a direct line to your club’s front office in your pocket.
So far, Socios just said that members can choose the 2021 home and away kits. This makes it rather unlikely that it will be European football club as those reveal new kits not for a year (2021) but for a season (2021-22).
This is interesting... Could it be #ASRoma? A good chance they won't have a new kit supplier lined up in time for the new season, so an ideal opportunity.

If you need help with the designs, I could get the band back together... https://t.co/pnZnN0RDqj @ASRomaEN https://t.co/2VUyx4nqHg
AS Roma fan Forza27 suggested that it could be AS Roma who will allow Socios fans to vote on the kits as they are without a supplier from 2021-2022 currently, but we don't think that is likely.
We think it is one of the esports teams who will let fans pick the design of their jersey
All in all, we think that chances that a big football team will allow Socios Fan Token to pick the home and away kits for them are rather low. We think it is most likely to be one of the e-sports teams.
