Barcelona have announced that they will be wearing a special edition home jersey featuring The Rolling Stones’ logo for this month’s Clasico against Real Madrid. This partnership is part of the club’s sponsorship deal with Spotify.
Spotify has been taking advantage of their partnership with Barcelona by featuring unique sponsors on the club’s shirt in recent seasons. This time, they have chosen the iconic band The Rolling Stones. The special matchday shirt won’t be limited to just one appearance, as the Barça Femení side will also wear them during their home match on November 5th.
To celebrate the release of The Rolling Stones’ new album “Hackney Diamonds” on Spotify, El Clásico provides the perfect opportunity to bring together two legends from the worlds of music and football on one pitch. The jerseys available for purchase will be inspired by the club’s founding year in 1899. Additionally, there will be a collection of 22 jerseys signed by the 11 starting men’s and women’s team players.
For the first time ever, Spotify and FC Barcelona are launching a limited-edition lifestyle collection, which includes t-shirts, hoodies, bomber jackets, bucket hats, and more. These items will feature the Tongue and Lips logo, along with the football club’s badge and Spotify logo in a custom football design.
Barcelona’s Vice President of Partnerships, Marc Hazan, expressed his excitement by stating, “It’s an honor to feature the legendary Rolling Stones on the legendary FC Barcelona shirt. Only Spotify could bring The Rolling Stones to the global stage of El Clásico – one of the few stages they haven’t played!”
The Rolling Stones also shared their enthusiasm about the collaboration, saying, “We’re huge football fans and honored that Spotify has brought our Tongue and Lips logo to grace the FC Barcelona shirt to celebrate the release of the Stones’ new Hackney Diamonds album. We’ll be cheering on the players on the pitch as well as fans around the world who will be tuning in to watch this iconic match.”
The limited-edition Barcelona x The Rolling Stones shirt will be available for purchase on the official FC Barcelona store website, with a presale beginning on October 19th and general availability on October 23rd. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of this unique collaboration between two iconic entities.
