This season, the Pallavolo Modena team of the Italian Volleyball League is dressing two of its players in official jerseys emblazoned with Monkey D. Luffy, the young pirate captain that is the main character in Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga and anime.
This isn’t the first time Modena wore awesome jerseys for their libero; before this was Spider-man and Iron Man, both sponsored by Marvel. One Piece seems to be pretty popular over in Italy at the present moment, with an average audience of 1.7 million viewers; enough for Toei Animation to sponsor these jerseys
Thats pretty awesome.. I didn’t think anyone will be enthusiastic enough to do that in the first place.. I wish the soccer teams in Singapore will do that too.. ^^
The outfit looks pretty cool.. Hope those are for sale.. ^^
That is pretty cool, not my thing in any way really but maybe this will open up more similar things.
i would soo wear that if you give me the chance. i hope that they start selling replicas of those jerseys
lol, I’m surprised to see anime making it this far, but I guess the exposure couldn’t hurt.
Those are actually really neat, in some strange way I cannot describe.:P
Laughing pretty hard right now!!!!!
Anime influence is spreading now!!!!!!
Soon it will be everywhere!!!!!!
I would like to get my hands on the shirt!!!!!
wow! that was so cool shirt!
waiting for Basketball player to wear Luffi’s vest.. Lol
wow! no way! I have a friend in Italy and he told me anime is HUGE there. I didn’t believe it until now…
hey, great information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like it!!!!!!!
Beach Volleyball as well as regular Volleyball is really fun and it is a good way to exercise your body too.,~*
i got injured while playing volleyball but what the heck, this is a fun game:”:
