Barcelona have been busy showing off their latest Clasico shirts for the upcoming clash with Real Madrid in La Liga at the Santiago Bernabeu.
As has been previously reported, the jerseys will feature the logo
of Ed Sheeran – as part of their sponsorship deal with Spotify – and the club have now revealed the new look on social media.
And here’s what the club has had to say about the new design:
“The seventh Spotify logo change on the Barça shirt will have the honour of welcoming Ed Sheeran. The British artist becomes the first male solo pop musician to feature on an FC Barcelona jersey, with the logo of his latest studio album, Play, taking pride of place.
“The emblem will first appear on 19 October for the women’s match against Granada CF, and will then return on 26 October for the men’s Clásico against Real Madrid.
“Displaying Play on the front of the shirt highlights the power of music to cross borders and bring people together. Barça is famed for its youthful spirit and expressive playing style, shaped by the talents nurtured at La Masia. Ed Sheeran’s love of both football and the city of Barcelona makes this collaboration even more genuine, built on the belief that creativity, music and football can move people, both on and off the pitch.”
Sheeran is the latest artist to feature on Barcelona shirt, following on from Coldplay and Travis Scott last season.
