According to The Sun, fans can purchase the club's playing kit, RedTube clothing, including singlets, hats and players shirts, on the new site.

Captain of Washington Square FC, Jon Klippert, speaking to American Pyramid Blog, said: "He and I (former player Jaime Skelton) were slightly intoxicated one night with a few other players and we were joking about getting sponsored by a Porn Company.

"We thought it would be funny but also, I thought of it as one of those jokes where it's funny but would never happen. But Jaime has a great talent for writing and is one for great whit. So, he crafted a letter than he and I did some edits, took a screen shot and sent it to RedTube's Twitter."

The players met the person who runs RedTube's social media account and got their association going.

"It's a bit odd to have it and some people think it's controversial but let's be real here, it's a men's league club and we have done something that is unique," Kippert said.
