Watford FC has pulled off a surprise win against Liverpool with a final score of 3-0. While on the field, Watford FC players boasted a prominent Bitcoin logo on their jerseys.

Cryptocurrencies are taking the sports world by storm – and one team has just bested all odds while sporting the Bitcoin logo on their sleeves. Could it be a sign of good luck?

Watford FC Takes Victory

The previously undefeated Liverpool met their match yesterday with a stunning defeat at the hands of Watford FC. Watford FC managed to secure the victory in a blowout, winning 3-0. They are currently the only team to beat them this entire season.

Could the sponsorship they were sporting have brought them good luck? That’s what many in the cryptocurrency community are saying: the team was rocking a bright Bitcoin logo on their sleeves. It is prominently seen in some photos shared by Nik (@nikcantmine) today.

Bitcoin was confirmed as a sleeve partner for the team in December 2019, according to the team’s official website. The sponsorship is being done by sports betting brand Sportsbet.io. They called it an attempt to “challenge the accepted norms.”

However, Watford FC is still a far way away from the leaders in their group. They are currently 17th out of 20 in the Premier League, with Liverpool leading the pack by far.

The Cryptocurrency Craze in Sports

The sports world has been looking at the cryptocurrency industry with significant interest. From payments to digital collectibles, the collaboration has much to offer fans as well.

Beyond the Premier League, even sports stars have been voicing their support for cryptocurrencies. In some cases, they even want to be paid in it. Russell Okung of the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers, for example, has been pushing to have his salary be in Bitcoin (BTC) for some time now.

Although 2019 was an explosive year for cryptocurrency sponsorships in the sports world, this year is set to make an even bigger splash.
