FC Barcelona to Wear 'Rolling Stones' Kit in El Clásico

The Rolling Stones are gearing up to make a rock 'n' roll statement on the football field. That's right, they're about to feature on FC Barcelona's iconic jersey during the Clásico showdown against Real Madrid on October 29th. Now, that's something you don't see every day!

This collaboration is a part of Barcelona's exciting partnership with Spotify, which has opened up some seriously cool branding opportunities. Previously, we've seen the likes of Rosalía and Drake gracing the team's jerseys, and it's been nothing short of epic.

Remember Rosalía's album logo taking the spotlight on the Men's Clásico on March 19, 2023, and the Women's Clásico on March 25, 2023? Those special edition kits featuring her unique logo were a hit with fans, even if they did come with a slightly higher price tag.

But let's not forget about Drake, who was the trailblazer for this musical-meets-football trend. He earned his spot on Barcelona's kit by hitting a monumental milestone on Spotify – 50 billion streams! Talk about a superstar moment. These artist collaborations have injected a fresh cultural vibe into Barcelona's jerseys, shaking things up from the usual sponsor logos we're used to seeing.

What makes this even more exciting is that The Rolling Stones are dropping their first album in 18 years, "Hackney Diamonds," right around the same time as this epic partnership announcement. Coincidence? I think not! It's like the stars aligned for this rock 'n' football fusion.

Now, before we break out the air guitars and celebrate, there are still a few final details to iron out, as reported by RAC 1. But rest assured, the anticipation is building, and this Clásico promises to be one for the books.

So, what are your thoughts on this unique collaboration? Are you as psyched as we are to see The Rolling Stones rocking the Barcelona jersey? Share your excitement and opinions in the comments below. It's going to be a matchday to remember!
