It will be a very special shirt that Barca’s players will wear for El Clásico in just over a week, because it is adorned with the Rolling Stones’ iconic logo and the three rock legends happily posing with the Barca shirt.
It’s through the sponsorship agreement with the music service Spotify that Barca has the opportunity to advertise a music artist or a band. An example of this was seen at this spring’s Clásico, when it was the Catalan superstar Rosalía’s logo that was on the chest of the players.
Now it will be none other than the world’s largest active rock band, the legends from the Rolling Stones, who, on the occasion of the release of their new album Hackney Diamonds, adorn Barca’s shirt instead of Spotify’s name. Incidentally, Hackney Diamonds comes out tomorrow.
The three members of the band, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, wore big smiles as they posed in Barca jerseys with the famous Stones logo as a prelude to El Clásico.
