(Reuters) - Select supporters of Manchester City will sport the latest in wearable technology next season as the humble soccer scarf gets an upgrade, complete with a biometric sensor integrated into the fabric to monitor emotional, physiological and movement data.

Using an EmotiBit bio sensor that sits discreetly on the neck, 'The Connected Scarf' captures the body's bio-signals throughout a match.

"In our work with City over the past few years, we've continuously looked for ways to connect fans to the sport they love, on another level," said Ashley Marusak, the Global Sports Marketing Manager for Cisco, which helped develop the product. Ryan Shaw, Creative Director of Octagon UK, which partnered with Cisco in the project, said 'The Connected Scarf' would help them understand the physiological emotions fans go through.
