A team named after the 2000 anthem has landed sponsorship from the band behind it, and the frontman says a private show could be the bonus.
Some team names are destined to attract attention, and the Teenage Dirtbags may have just hit the jackpot. The squad, named after the era-defining rock anthem "Teenage Dirtbag," now has the support of the American band behind the song.
The frontman responsible for the hit has thrown his weight behind the side, and the sponsorship comes with a potential bonus. He says the players could be treated to a private performance, which would be a rare reward for any team.
The tie-up is a neat fit. The song has been a staple of playlists, pub singalongs and nostalgic throwbacks for more than two decades, so a team carrying its name was always going to turn heads. Having the original artist sign on makes the connection official.
No date or venue has been confirmed for any gig, and for now it remains an offer rather than a fixture. If it happens, though, the Teenage Dirtbags will have a pre-season story that few rivals can match.
