Everton has teamed up with Rovio Entertainment to transform 3 of its first team into Angry Birds characters.
Jordan Pickford, Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes will be portrayed as Green Pigs in the Angry Birds Friends game.
They’ll appear for a limited time during an Everton tournament, which will take place in a Goodison Park-themed arena.
Everton was Rovio’s first venture into the Premier League, signing a sleeve sponsorship deal in 2017. Angry Birds games have been downloaded more than 4.5bn times since it launched in 2009.
The Finnish company has also created tournaments within their games for partners including the National Hockey League (NHL), Iron Maiden and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
