Barcelona Unveils Unique Collaboration with Coldplay Ahead of El Clásico
A Musical Touch to the Beautiful Game
Get ready for a thrilling match-up between Barcelona and Real Madrid on October 26, as the Catalan giants take to the pitch wearing a special edition jersey featuring Coldplay’s logo. This unique collaboration is part of an ongoing partnership with Spotify, which has seen some of the world’s most iconic musicians leave their mark on the team’s shirts.
Coldplay’s Cosmic Inspiration
The British band’s logo, inspired by their latest album “Moon Music,” will replace the Spotify branding on the front of Barcelona’s shirts. This design is a series of moons that will undoubtedly make the team stand out on the pitch. Coldplay joins an elite group of artists, including Drake, Rosalía, Karol G, and The Rolling Stones, who have all created one-off shirts for Barcelona.
A Cherished History
Coldplay has a special place in Barcelona’s recent history. Pep Guardiola, the team’s former coach, used the band’s hit song “Viva la Vida” as the soundtrack to a motivational video before the 2009 Champions League final against Manchester United, which Barcelona won. The song has since become an anthem for the team’s supporters. The band’s members have also been invited to training sessions at the club’s Sant Joan Despí base and have performed sold-out concerts at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona.
A Lucky Charm?
Barcelona will be hoping that their collaboration with Coldplay brings them good fortune against Real Madrid next weekend. Their previous partnerships have yielded mixed results, with a defeat to Los Blancos in the Clásico in October 2022, followed by a win in the next Clásico with Rosalía’s “Motomami” logo on their shirts. The women’s team has fared better, winning against Real Madrid, Sevilla, and Villarreal while wearing special edition shirts featuring Rosalía, The Rolling Stones, and Karol G’s logos.
A Limited-Edition Merchandise Collection
To commemorate this unique partnership, Spotify, Barcelona, and Coldplay are launching a limited-edition lifestyle collection of merchandise, including T-shirts, hoodies, and scarves. Fans can get their hands on these exclusive items and show their support for the team and the band.
