The Los Angeles Kings, the North American ice hockey league (NHL) professional team, have released a block-chain-based tool to track the credibility of memorabilia for fans.

(AR Authentication App) in collaboration with Pro Exp Media, augmented reality startup. The Los Angeles Kings are sold as a commemorative item that players actually use in the game, which makes it easy to check if a fan has purchased a genuine item.
