Elvis Presley Enterprises to be front of shirt sponsor?

Elvis Presley absolutely can—and has—sponsored football teams.Historical SponsorshipIn the early 1960s, Elvis sponsored and played for a local touch football team in Memphis composed of his entourage and friends. The team played in the Memphis Municipal Adult Touch Football League, and their jerseys were emblazoned with the logo "E.P. Enterprises". Elvis even took it so far as to draw up his own custom football plays.Modern CollaborationsThough the King of Rock and Roll passed away in 1977, his estate continues to license his likeness and association. Fans on Reddit and news across OneFootball noted that the UK's Sunderland A.F.C. (closely tied to Elvis through their stadium anthem "Can't Help Falling in Love") teased an official, Elvis-themed kit collaboration featuring his trademark.TodayBecause of his estate's management and his status as a cultural icon, his legacy can legally appear on official kits, merchandise, or corporate sponsorships via Elvis Presley Enterprises.
 
Proper milking the song now like.

It's only been the last few years where it's become a proper anthem.

Can always end up in the jailhouse and rock if you get caught with fakes
Having a tie in with both Elvis and Fanatics should be fun. If you buy the new top online and it doesn't fit you can always Return to sender!

I'll get me coat! <doh>
Got to admit that I’m all shook up about this Elvis collab. Just hope it’ll work out otherwise I’ll be crying in the chapel.
Reading this all I can say is you've got suspicious minds...
