I just read on Tweakers that Philips applied for a patent to a ‘fabric display’.

Couple of years ago, while watching the Snooker championships on TV, noticing the advertisements on the players’ clothes, I had this nasty vision that at one point, ‘internet-connected sponsorships-tags‘ could just change on the fly… (The patent doesn’t mention any network connectivity though.) A player plays better: more companies want to be on that thing and the position is sold through eBay or something, and the highest bidder ends up on the players’ shirt — until the player wins another frame which could totally change popularity and pricing. Seeing that, nowadays, advertisement-money makes the world go ’round, this idea is probably viable too.

I really should patent the above idea…. but now that it is out in the open, thus no longer original if somebody else thinks of the idea, so nobody else ever can.
