Players for a football team in Mexico have had their Twitter names printed on the back of their shirts below their numbers.
Jaguares de Chiapas, currently competing in the top division in Mexico, are also supporting their sponsor Cerveza Sol by putting the beer brand's Twitter handle (@CervezaSol) lower down on all shirts.
A statement on their official site read: "Conscious of the age we live in, where we can all stay in touch through the internet no matter how distant, Jaguar has launched a campaign and carried out various activities linked to Twitter.
"In football as in life, 140 characters are enough to decide which side you're on."
Earlier this year, Spanish team Valencia put the club's Twitter name on the front of their shirts against Barcelona when they had no shirt sponsor.
