Description
Captain’s armband issued for potential use during the 2025 MLS All-Star Game held in Austin, Texas. Designed specifically for the event, the armband features MLS All-Star branding and was part of the official kit prepared for players assigned leadership roles. While it was not worn during the match, it was produced and staged alongside on-field gear as part of the team’s equipment allotment. Items like this were prepared for substitutions, alternates, or backups in case of in-game equipment changes. The Together For Texas Charity Auction is a key component of the 2025 MLS All-Star’s broader fundraising efforts, aimed at supporting Central Texas flood relief and recovery. This match-issued armband was made available through that initiative.
Disclaimer:
It carries a Silver OVD, indicating that a TRuEST™ authenticator was not on-site to witness the use. However, its provenance is verified, ensuring its authenticity as an officially match-issued item.
TRuEST™ Authentication
The Realest™ empowers partners in sports, music, and film with the industry's most advanced authentication and marketplace technology.
As forgeries grow more sophisticated with deepfakes and other emerging threats, protecting the integrity of physical memorabilia has never been more critical. Traditional authentication standards carry significant risk, but The Realest™ takes a proactive approach, partnering directly with teams, artists, and studios to source items at the origin.
Our multi-layered, witness-based authentication process (TRuEST™) sets a new industry standard and comes backed by a money-back guarantee. TRuEST™ replaces old-school certificates of authenticity with immutable provenance stored on the blockchain, clearly showing population data, creation dates, and key item details. This information cannot be altered, backdated, or hacked and remains accessible at all times. Each item is uniquely fingerprinted using our patent-pending covert markings and tamper-resistant OVD holograms.
These security measures ensure The Realest™ can verify authenticity with absolute certainty, now and in the future, while detecting any attempts to alter or counterfeit items using undisclosed, cutting-edge security methods.
