Tour 2017 - players delight fans at Nike Town, New York

The players made an immediate impact on arrival in New York on Sunday with a visit to Nike's flagship Nike Town store in Manhattan.

After flying into Newark Airport from Orlando, the full squad headed straight to Nike Town on 57th St,

This visit represented the first time a full squad from a football team has visited a Nike store.

What a welcome to the Big Apple! The players were greeted by over 500 fans, further underlining the Club's outstanding support in the States.

The players split into four groups - one group helped Nike Town staff print names and numbers for fans purchasing our new kit, another group mixed with fans in a Nike product area, there was a chance for fans to look at SPVRS - the Virtual and Augmented Reality technology that takes users inside the Club’s new stadium before it is built - and mix with the players on a mini-basketball court and a signing session.
