LOOK: Temple players have Twitter handles on their jerseys

Increasing your following on social media can be challenging. Football players at Temple, however, could be getting a boost thanks to the spring game.

OwlScoop posted a picture of the uniforms for the annual Cherry and White game, and the jerseys feature the players’ Twitter handles.

Temple coach Geoff Collins, who oversaw a 7-6 season in his first year with the school, also shared an image of the jerseys.

While the idea may appear silly to some, building a following on social media is important to many teenagers and young adults. Besides, the spring game is a harmless avenue to promote the individual players.

It’s a creative idea that Temple executed well.
