Miami Hurricanes fans will have a unique opportunity to purchase non-fungible tokens of athletic program merchandise with the launch of Canes Vault as announced on Friday. The initial offering of the 1989 Miami Football National Championship ring replica will be offered beginning on Monday per Canes Vault.

The Miami Hurricanes athletic department is partnering with Gig Labs and Black Madre Studios to re-create the championship rings. In addition to 1989 championship rings, Miami will offer insight into the stories of their student-athletes. Fans can become Canes Vault keyholders by buying season tickets to one of four major sports.

Another option to gain becoming a Canes Vault keyholder is by making a “minimum $50 annual Student Impact donation to the Hurricane Club.” Black Madre will create the NFTs for the Miami Hurricanes athletic department through animated illustrations intended to tell the stories of the teams and players.

Canes Vault lists multiple types of NFTs that will be created. The initials lists on Canes Vault are National Championship Rings, Game Changers, Mascots, Turnover Chain, Commemorative Tickets and 1:1 Experiences. Further explanation about the expectations of those offerings are on Canes Vault.

The Miami athletic department plans on releasing more than 200 NFTs in the first year of Canes Vault. Miami has been at the forefront of a changing collegiate sports landscape this summer. NFTs will also allow athletes to sell their own name, image and likness. Miami quarterback D’Eric King has been one of the most active in NILs.

If Miami Hurricanes athletic programs and their athletes continue to be at the forefront of NFTs and NILs, their teams can begin to use that as an advantage in recruiting. Collegiate sports are quickly evolving. The steps taken recently across the nation will have an impact for years and decades into the future.

NFTs will become a growing part of the fan experience of sports as the digital landscape evolves. Players and teams are close to their fanbase than ever before with the evolution of social media. The launch of Canes Vault should continue to help the Miami athletic program move into the future.

PASSION FOR LIFE - 7/19 Limited Edition
PASSION FOR LIFE - 7/19 Limited Edition - Please enable the sound - This NFT was inspired by some of the attributes of a woman. She is so beautiful, elegant, and delicate, but at the same time powerful and full of passion. She merges with the universe and creates life in many ways, represented in this artwork by the dispersion of her body. I first sculpted this piece by hand, then digitalized it and gave it life and movement. Limited Edition 7/19 IG @ArtistLeonardo
Alex in Wonderland
A figure, Alex, stands mostly naked in the midst of a physical and psychological maelstrom. He is clad only in nostalgic 80’s era socks, on a tenuous island between active waters and a variety of shark denizens. Sharks on the right side of the image are all beached, including a shark with a quartz crystal snout, an orange shark wrapped in a life buoy, and a shark further in the distance wearing an 80’s style shirt with the number “88”. On the left side is the largest shark, wearing bright glossy red lipstick and brandishing prominent teeth with braces. She is cordoned off from the figure by a roped float divider, and within her thought bubble is a warning symbol. Behind the figure, hovering in the air, are Grey aliens emerging from the distance, out of a series of elliptical UFO shaped interdimensional membranes. The Greys take on the visual form of spermazoa ostensibly impregnating the interdimensional thresholds. As is typical, these Greys inhabit a zone just behind the unconscious topology of Alex’s dissociative mind. Though Alex’s bottom half is representative, his top half mutates into a psychological cornucopia. In a manner akin to “Auto-Erotic Sphinx”, a predecessor work, the figure has self suctioned—an act of sensual infatuation, enjoyment, and exploration. Upward exists the figure’s primary conscious eye, adorned with a revolutionary beret emblazoned with a Bitcoin badge. The figure’s summit features the nose of a fighter jet facing off against video game Bullet Bills, one of whom is marked by a communist North Korean star. A cropped section of a UFO observes the contest. Alex’s mind branches both left and right. To the left is more singular embodied consciousness, manifesting two eyes and a Ganesh trunk grasping crayons. The right branch dissociates upward diagonally, emerging into an array of eyes, faces, teeth, tail, a unicorn horn, and much more—all of which participate in expressing his unconscious being; a democracy of psychic factions representing thought impressions and associations. All illumination and darkness– fernal, infernal, high consciousness and corporeal underbelly–reside in this realm. In the distance are relatively languid, light clouds, and against the firmament hovers a colossal distant eye peering over the scene and far beyond. This painting possesses underlying genetic traits with previous works such as “Auto-Erotic Sphinx with Toys”, “Dionysus”, and “Fuku-Shiva”. The work serves also as a nod to an earlier period of art inspiration during late teens and early twenties— born out of the nakedness, vulnerability, curiosity, and wonder inherent to coming of age and all subsequent psychedelic revelation.
