Details have been leaked about the shirt that FC Barcelona will use in the Clásico against Real Madrid on October 26, in a collaboration with the band Coldplay and with very striking details.

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona, for quite some time now, has been experiencing something quite peculiar in high-profile matches such as the Clásicos against Real Madrid in LaLiga EA Sports, thanks to a sponsorship agreement with the digital audio and video streaming platform, Spotify. In these encounters, Barça usually swaps the sponsor's logo on their shirt for that of a globally iconic artist or musical band.

The first agreement of this kind became valid in the year 2022, during the Clásico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona on October 16 of that year. On that occasion, the team replaced the usual Spotify logo with the owl emblematic of the singer Drake. In the second Clásico of the 2022-23 season, another artist involved in this agreement was the singer Rosalía, whose album logo 'MOTOMAMI' adorned the Blaugrana shirt in the duel between these 'colossi' of Spanish football that took place on March 19, 2023.

Now, for the 2023-24 season, in the first leg match, the Catalan team swapped the Spotify logo for that of the legendary British rock band, The Rolling Stones, displayed in the Clásico on October 28, 2023. Additionally, in the second leg match, the Barça shirt showcased the logo of Colombian urban singer Karol G in the Clásico on April 21.

In the 2024-25 season, ahead of the first Clásico in LaLiga EA Sports to be held at the Santiago Bernabéu on October 26, Barcelona has confirmed that the British pop rock band Coldplay will be the new image replacing Spotify for that encounter. This information has been known for some time, but details about the shirt's design, its cost, and the release date have been recently revealed.

Details surrounding this new collaboration between FC Barcelona and Coldplay

As reported in 'Jijantes', it is expected that FC Barcelona will officially unveil the details about this shirt on Thursday, October 17. The design, so to speak, pays homage to the recent album released by the London-based band called 'Moon Music'. It will feature the use of several moons in all their phases, specifically eight moons, arranged on the shirt in a way that gives the impression of spelling out the name of the band Coldplay. It is also worth mentioning that these moons will be dyed in the characteristic golden color that the Blaugrana team usually has in the details of its shirt.

Regarding the cost, being an exclusive piece, according to sources close to the club, it is estimated to be around 399.99 euros and will be available starting on Friday, October 18 at the Barça Store and on the team's official website. It is also important to note that in this aspect, the price of the shirt will not vary compared to other special editions previously released by the club, as part of an initiative that has undoubtedly been a marketing success by FC Barcelona.
