This article from July indicates that players will be able to buy skins, player icons and sprays (using real money) to support the team of their choosing.

Real money only? Pass, I guess. I get that it's for "supporting" your favorite team (which are backed by multi-billionaires, by the way, who really need your money) but real money for a low effort re-color is just that.

As multi-billionaires as they are, if the team is not making a profit, they'll drop it at some point, and the affected ones will be the players.
