February 25, 2015
Signing Sessions

We saw Cristiano Ronaldo for another private signing session on February 12th in Madrid, marking Cristiano’s tenth(!) year working with Icons.

In that time Cristiano has done it all – winning three Ballon d’Ors, two UEFA Champions League titles, two FIFA World Club Championships four League titles in two countries and broken countless goal scoring records at European and international level along the way. Yet Cristiano remains just as sincere and humble as when we first met him at the age of 20 in Manchester, in 2005.

Great pleasure

Cristiano has always been a pleasure to work with, offering the highest level of professionalism. Cristiano even turns up for the signing early, thankfully the Icons signing team are as ready as he is. Cristiano is friendly with everyone, and jokes with those in the room in English, Spanish and Portuguese, a testament that this is a man who is more than just a footballer.

New range of signed Cristiano Ronaldo memorabilia

In this special signing, celebrating his ten years with Icons, Cristiano signed Real Madrid home shirts, a new retro style Portugal shirt as well as a very limited number of Manchester United Shirts. Cristiano also signed two boot styles for us, including his new black Nike Victory V boots, which look absolutely stunning in silver permanent marker.

Finally, Cristiano signed a range of Madrid photos showing him celebrating his recent third Ballon d’Or win, scoring in El Clasico against Barcelona and breaking the record for most goals in one Champions League season on the way to Real Madrid’s famous La Decima title.

Ronaldo was overcome with emotion onstage accepting the prize. “It means a lot to win this after Eusébio‘s passing,” he said. “I dedicate this award to him and my team-mates. He was watching from the skies to see this great moment for a Portuguese player. When I saw my mum crying it made me cry as well. I’m an emotional person. It is very difficult to win this award.”

2014 will be Icons’ tenth year working with Cristiano. For the best in CR7 signed memorabilia, look no further than Icons.

Signing Sessions

Icons are delighted to announce World Cup golden boot winner James Rodriguez as the latest Icon. We saw the Real Madrid star for the first time in Madrid on Friday, October 17th.

James-Rodriguez-Signing-Session

James enters the room with his trademark grin; it’s the sign of a man who’s happy in life. And so he should be, having taken Colombia to the World Cup Quarter Finals (their best ever finish) and scoring the goal of the tournament along the way, he soon earned himself a move from Monaco to Real Madrid for a record breaking 80 million euros.

James is friendly, agreeable and easy to get on with. The Colombian star even asks to keep a few of the World Cup Golden Boot montages for his own collection!

Great signed memorabilia of the Golden Boy

Icons’ new James collection features signed Real Madrid products, official UEFA Champions League signed items and special FIFA World Cup Colombian products. James signed the 2014-15 Real Madrid home shirt, the Real Madrid limited edition black away shirt and a single Colombia World Cup 2014 shirt as there are so few left in the world. Also available are James’ current Adidas boots and the 2014-15 UEFA Champions League football. Finally, James signed a selection of photos of his most recent career highlights and an officially licensed FIFA World Cup poster, framed only, detailing his golden boot.

Icons.com: Official Messi Signed Merchandise Partner

October 6, 2014
Announcements

Icons first met Leo Messi on May 5th, 2006. Although Messi had made less than 30 appearances for club and country, Icons were convinced of his potential and made the signing happen.

Leo-Messi-Signing-Sessions-For-Icons

Today, eight years later, Messi is the biggest name in world football and has a glittering trophy cabinet to prove it. To date Messi has won six La Liga titles, three UEFA Champions League titles, two FIFA Club World Cup titles and four consecutive Ballon D’Or awards to name just a few.

Despite all this, Messi claims “off the pitch I am just normal”. And he’s right. Humble, unassuming and polite, he is a pleasure to work with. On the pitch, however, he is unlike any footballer the world has ever seen.

Official Messi Signed Merchandise

On Friday 26th September, 2014 Icons saw Leo Messi yet again to sign a range of shirts, boots and photos for us and his fans. Icons have also been working around the clock to launch the new Official Messi Signed Merchandise range.

All Official Messi Signed Merchandise is created under license by Icons Shop Ltd and now comes with an Official Messi Signed Merchandise Certificate of Authenticity, which has an image of Leo signing the product line.

The full range is only available on Icons.com.
