Rolling Stones and Barcelona Collaborate for a Special Kit Edition for the Clasico

In an electrifying fusion of music and sports, the renowned Spanish football club, FC Barcelona, is gearing up for a unique jersey transformation. In the eagerly-awaited Clasico against arch-rivals Real Madrid, Barcelona’s players will proudly sport the iconic “Tongue and Lips” logo of the legendary rock band, the Rolling Stones. The club unveiled this groundbreaking collaboration on Thursday, setting the stage for an unforgettable match experience.

Barcelona has been sponsored by the music streaming giant Spotify since the 2021/22 season. Over the course of their partnership, the club has creatively melded the world of football with the dynamic sphere of music. In previous campaigns, renowned global artists like Drake and the Spanish sensation Rosalia have been highlighted. Now, with this latest venture, rock aficionados are set to revel in delight. In the words of the club, “FC Barcelona and Spotify have done it again. The jersey that Barca will wear at El Clasico on October 28 will once again become an icon that will attract the attention of the whole world.”

The decision to feature the emblematic “Tongue and Lips” logo, synonymous with the Rolling Stones’ identity – helmed by the indomitable trio of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood – signifies a bold statement. Instead of the familiar Spotify insignia, this universally recognized symbol of rock rebellion and spirit will grace the FC Barcelona kit, marking an ingenious blend of music and sport.

The timing couldn’t be more apt. The Rolling Stones are on the cusp of launching their latest musical venture, “Hackney Diamonds,” set for release this Friday. Furthermore, fans of both football and music can get their hands on this exclusive jersey, which will hit the shelves on October 23. In a testament to the inclusive spirit of this collaboration, Barca’s women’s team is also set to wear this special shirt during their clash against Sevilla on November 5.

Expressing their exhilaration at this unique union, the Rolling Stones remarked, “We’re big football fans and we’re honoured that Spotify has put our Tongue & Lips logo on the FC Barcelona jersey to celebrate the release of the Stones’ new album ‘Hackney Diamonds’. We will be cheering on the players on the pitch as well as the fans around the world who will be watching this iconic match.”

But that’s not all for the enthusiasts. Those who might miss out on snagging the limited edition jersey will have a wonderful alternative. A special limited edition album package has been curated. This package will consist of a vinyl version of the album boasting the Barca crest, coupled with a retro-styled jersey, ensuring fans have a piece of this historic collaboration. As the worlds of rock and football come together, one thing is certain – the upcoming Clasico promises to be a spectacle like no other.
