The countdown is on for Saturday’s Clásico in which the Tongue and Lips logo of The Rolling Stones (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood) will replace the Spotify logo on the Barça kit. To celebrate this, for the first time FC Barcelona and Spotify are launch-ing a limited edition collection of clothing, the Barça x Rolling Stones Capsule.
This collection and two limited editions of the match shirt are on sale from this Monday online via the FC Barcelona e-commerce platform -exclusively in Europe-, and physically at Barça Stores.
The Barça x Rolling Stones Capsule is a lifestyle collection that will be a daily reminder of such a special moment that has brought football and music together. It’s a daring col-lection so fans can dress comfortably while proudly showing off their love for Barça and rock-and-roll.
It consists of the following garments: black and white cotton round-neck shirts in either regular or oversized format; cotton hoodies with front pockets; zip-up bomber jackets; bucket hats; scarves with the words “Start Me Up”; and a retro shirt inspired by the designs that Barça wore in the early 60s, the era when The Rolling Stones were formed. The creative for the collection was shot at Electric Lady Studios, in NYC where songs from Hackney Diamonds were recorded, as well as the Barça facilities in Barcelona.
This Monday also brings the launch of the FC Barcelona x The Rolling Stones Limited Edition 1,899 match shirts with the Tongue and Lips logo replacing the Spotify logo, and the FC Barcelona x The Rolling Stones Signed Limited Edition, which is even more exclusive, for only 22 units will be produced that will be signed by the players who start the men’s Clásico, and also the women’s game next November 5. Both collections are Match quality, meaning that they are exactly the same as the ones that the players themselves will be wearing in the games.
Statement by Juli Guiu, Vice-president of FC Barcelona Marketing Area:
“Music and football, through Spotify and the Stones, will be experiencing an unrepeatable, iconic moment at the upcoming Clásico. Immortalising this symbiosis in a fashion collection is an idea that our fans most definitely deserve. We will bring life, beyond the 90 minutes of the game, to an association that we feel immensely proud of, that has gone all round the world, and has shaken the world of sports sponsorship.”
Statement by Marc Hazan, VP Partnerships at Spotify:
“It’s an honour 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!”
