Barcelona have unveiled a special shirt that carries the logo of Ed Sheeran’s new album Play. The design will appear for Barça Femení vs Granada on October 19 and again for El Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu on October 26.
Ed Sheeran is the first male solo pop artist to feature on a Barça kit in this series. Previous artists include Travis Scott, Coldplay, Karol G, The Rolling Stones, Rosalía and Drake. Ed Sheeran said that seeing Play on a Barça shirt is “one of those moments I can’t believe” and that sharing it with fans around the world “means a lot.” Robert Lewandowski added that Ed’s songs have been part of the dressing room playlist for a long time, so wearing the album logo in El Clásico feels special. Club general manager Manel del Río called the periodic logo change an iconic moment in the season, and said it shows how the Spotify collaboration keeps opening new ways to connect culture and football.
