New 1992/93 collection offers legendary rewards
It was the season that changed everything. And now, for the first time, you can own a part of it and meet the legends behind the story.
Manchester United have today released a new, limited range of digital collectibles to commemorate the historic 92/93 campaign – when the club clinched the first-ever Premier League title to usher in an iconic era in our history.
These digital collectibles – powered by Tezos and brought to you by Tezos ecosystem companies – take fans into the heart of the dressing room on 3 May 1993, the night the trophy was lifted inside a raucous Old Trafford. They feature a selection of stand-out players from that season alongside members of staff, reveling in the sheer delight at becoming champions.
Why 1992/93 was so special
The story of a historic season in two minutes, as we launch new digital collectibles celebrating the 1992/93 title...
There are only 604 digital collectibles in total. Each officially licensed digital collectible features a unique image shot by official club photographer John Peters, capturing moments of celebration with key players and staff. In addition, each one allows its owner to access unprecedented benefits:
- A private dinner invite with 92/93 legend*
- A virtual event invite with 92/93 legends**
- A 92/93 Manchester United shirt, signed by legends of the squad*
- A brand new, exclusive physical print from internationally renowned artist Stanley Chow, signed by a 92/93 legend
- A physical poster of the official 92/93 team photo
*26 Years: four editions total
**Denis, All Pals, Winners, Captains, Celebration, Safe Hands: 600 editions total
Stanley Chow is creating new, physical artwork featuring three iconic players from the 92/93 season. Those who purchase Captains, Celebration and Winners will receive a Bryan Robson piece, signed by Captain Marvel himself. Denis and Safe Hands come with a Denis Irwin original, signed by the Irish full-back. And those who claim All Pals will be sent a Gary Pallister print, signed by our dominant centre-half.
The 92/93 season delivered a rollercoaster of emotions and some of the most memorable moments in the club’s storied history. The arrival of the talismanic Eric Cantona, a Boxing Day fightback at Sheffield Wednesday, a 21-minute demolition of Norwich City, that Steve Bruce winner and more… all culminating in that special night in May when Blackburn Rovers were beaten and the Premier League trophy was lifted to the Old Trafford skies.
This new range of digital collectibles enables fans to own this United story for the first time. They’re unique pieces of club memorabilia that live permanently in the digital wallets of those who own them. In many ways they are similar to a cherished match-day programme or a club scarf from a particular season – however, they are verifiable on the blockchain, technology that powers them proves their authenticity. Keep them, trade them, sell them – the choice is that of the owner.
See below for details of how to purchase a 92/93 digital collectible and a description of each piece. It’s time to own a United story.
92/93 DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES
26 Years
After a hiatus of nearly three decades, Manchester United claim the English top-flight title. Manager Alex Ferguson celebrates with the man who previously lifted the championship – Sir Matt Busby.
Denis
Any team is only as good as its foundation – and Denis Irwin was a bedrock that allowed this group to thrive. With 40 league appearances and five crucial goals in 92/93, the Irishman was well on his way to becoming one of United’s finest ever full-backs.
All Pals
A scorer on the night the trophy was lifted, Gary Pallister, is all smiles in the dressing room alongside Ryan Giggs, Paul Ince and a winner of the last league title, club legend Sir Bobby Charlton.
Winners
United's stars look on at the scale of their achievement, including attacking talisman Mark Hughes. Sparky’s wonder strikes across the season were crucial to several big wins and cemented his place as a club legend.
Captains
Captain Marvel, Bryan Robson, gets his hands on a championship trophy at long last – alongside a man who led United so often that season, the rock at the heart of defence, Steve Bruce.
Celebration
Bryan Robson, Mark Hughes and Lee Sharpe share a lighter moment in the dressing room as the party begins at Old Trafford.
Safe Hands
Peter Schmeichel lets the champagne flow. United fans will attest that the Premier League trophy was in safe hands.
