Barcelona Teams Up With The Rolling Stones For Cheeky New ‘Classico’ Look
In a rather unexpected collaboration, FC Barcelona is set to sport The Rolling Stones’ iconic Tongue and Lips logo on their jerseys for the upcoming El Clásico match.
On October 28, 2023, as the team takes on arch-rivals Real Madrid, players will don the band’s instantly recognizable emblem.
This special look will commemorate the release of its latest album, Hackney Diamonds—the group’s first album of original material in a staggering 18 years.
The cheeky motif will also grace the front of the women’s jersey for the Liga F game against Sevilla on November 5, 2023.
To celebrate El Clásico in style, Spotify has curated a special “Matchday Playlist,” featuring some of the greatest rock music tracks in the lead-up to the big game.
For those looking to own a piece of history, exclusive matchday jersey editions will be available for purchase starting October 23, 2023.
Fans can opt for the FC Barcelona x The Rolling Stones Limited Edition, which consists of 1899 matchday quality jerseys, or the FC Barcelona x The Rolling Stones Signed Limited Edition.
The latter, which includes player signatures, will only have 22 pieces produced for the entire world.
For those eager to get their hands on Hackney Diamonds, a special blaugrana edition is on sale, featuring a limited edition package that includes the vinyl album adorned with the Barça crest and the band’s logo.
The set comes with a Barça retro jersey inspired by the early 1960s, a nod to the era when the band was formed.
“We’re huge football fans and honored that Spotify has brought our Tongue & Lips logo to grace the FC Barcelona shirt to celebrate the release of the Stones’ new Hackney Diamonds album,” said The Rolling Stones.
“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.”
DONE DEAL! 🤘💥
