Problem: Umbro should improve the fan experience

Source 1: Football Forum
On the online forum Stand Against Modern Football (Standamf) football fans all over the world come together to discuss the newest developments in football. The main focus is to stop the over financing in modern football. Umbro has the image to be the brand of the fans and should play into this.

Source 2: YouTube video Lille OSC
Lille OSC, the French football club, were the very first to stream their football match in 360 degrees. Fans which could not attend the game could watch the game at home, but feel like they were in the stadium. The responses were very positive.

Source 3: classicfootballshirts.co.uk
On this website you can buy football kits from 1983 until now. Its growing popularity shows the fashion on the stands. People these days start to care about history more and more.

Virtual Reality
With this new technology the experience of every day things will be able to become virtually fabricated. Computer games will not be played on a TV screen anymore, the players will be immersed in virtual real time. The same will become possible for football matches. Fans will be able to experience games like they are at the stadium while they are actually sitting on the sofa at home. This promising technology will make it possible for Umbro to recreate the iconic matches in football’s history. The first will be the World Cup final in 1966.

  1. I like your idea of virtual reality. It seems interesting and promising. By the way, i think you are missing new objective here.

    All in all, i like .

  2. Although I do like your idea as well, I would have liked to see it explained more. What kind of virtual reality? Will people just be able to sit at home and look at the game through VR glasses or do you mean a virtual reality living room where they can experience a football game? A bit more details would be nice. You just stated the concept of virtual reality, but not how you will implement it (what is the new device you are using). And which objective are you going for here? To improve fan experience? Because you stated that as the problem, not the objective.
    Other than that, the sources seem ok. I'm not quite sure how we were supposed to use the sources (just for us or that we really had to state them like you have), but if that was the point, then it seems good. :)
