In a first for Mexican football, a football team are replacing their surnames for Twitter usernames on their backs.

The football team Jaguares de Chiapas, decided to put the players' usernames along with the teams' sponsors which is no surprise, it's for a beer company. A statement from the club's website states "In football as in life, 140 characters are enough to decide which side you're on.". They aren't the only ones with Twitter names on shirts, the Spanish team Valencia used the club's username on the front of their shirts after they have no sponsor.
