Union social teased Santos signing with jersey tag vote graphic

If you follow the Philadelphia Union on social media, you’ve no doubt noticed a common refrain in the replies/comments imploring the team to sign players.

No matter what the nature of the post is, the push back is seemingly constant — and understandable given the relatively quiet close seasons fans have had to endure in the past — but in this particular case the social media team found a subtle way to get out in front of the predictable responses.

About an hour before announcing that the team had signed 24-year-old Brazilian striker Sergio Ramos, the image with the options for the back tag designs on the new secondary jersey included the new signing’s nameplate.

Well played, social media team.
