Dear fans,
News shirts are finally available, but you already knew that. What you didn't know is that all fans are now eligible to receive a FREE News shirt if they participate in this year's annual Fan of the Week contest.
HOW TO BE FAN OF THE WEEK:
1. submit pictures of yourself wearing News shirts in public places (no photoshop fakes, please. Our team has forensic experts).
3. Every week, one picture will be chosen, and posted on News. The winner will be called Fan of the Week.
4. If you do not win, continue to submit pictures, and maybe someday, you win.
Now, you might be wondering- what are the origins of this contest? How did the News Team come up with this incredible idea, and who was the very first fan of the week??
To answer your questions, we consulted the archieves. Below is a brief history of the News Fan of the Week Contest.
Our sources indicate that the first News Fans existed as early as 2000 BC, in Mesopotamia- near the Euphrates river, maybe by the Meditarranian. These fans expressed their love for News in primitive, yet very sentimental ways.

Although it is very hard to interprit what exactly these cave paintings tried to express, our Team has concluded that it's something to do with berbers.
According to the archieves, the next News Fan of the Week was a construction worker who helped build the Empire State Building.
