The Baltimore Ravens Launch Emoji Keyboard
BALTIMORE (CBS Baltimore) -- No, this is not a drill nor an April Fools joke. The Baltimore Ravens have released their very own emojis just before the 2015 season.
Jessica Kartalija explains.
From the Flacco Fu Manchu smiley to a play call and finally, a purple crab, the Baltimore Ravens have launched a customized, Ravens-branded emoji keyboard designed to work across any iOS or Android device.
The keyboard is compatible with virtually any mobile messaging app or social network, giving fans the ability to send more than 80 emoji and stickers to friends and family.
Michelle Andres is the team's Vice President of Digital Media and Broadcasting.
"We are always looking for new ways for our fans to engage with the team and we thought that an emoji keyboard was the perfect way to go and we have already seen a great response to it," she said.
"As one of the first teams in the NFL to make customized emoji available to its fan base, the Ravens are leading the charge when it comes to the best way to engage fans with fun and spirited content that they can share with friends, family and social networks," said Evan Wray, co-founder and vice president at Swyft Media.
The Ravens are one of the first NFL teams to partner with Twitter to use the new Twitter Mirror, which provides fans an enhanced Twitter experience.
