Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger is known to be a passionate football fan. He will be all the more pleased that the iconic band logo will soon be seen in one of the most important football duels in the world. Because FC Barcelona is supposed to advertise for the Rolling Stones in the upcoming game against Real Madrid.
Drake was at Barça before the Rolling Stones–shirt
The Stones are on everyone’s lips right now, as Jagger, Keith Richards and Ron Wood only announced their first album in almost 20 years in a livestreaming event. In order to ignite the euphoria of “Hackney Diamonds” even further, the band came up with a very special place for advertising: the FC Barcelona jersey.
The football club is one of the most well-known brands in sport and is known for only advertising special occasions on its jerseys. Since the Swedish music streaming service Spotify became the main sponsor of FC Barcelona, other musicians have found their way onto sportswear. The rapper Drake was already represented on the jersey with his owl logo. The Spanish singer Rosalia also promoted an album with the “Blaugrana”.
In the league duel between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, the so-called “El Clásico”, it is the Rolling Stones’ turn. Maybe Mick Jagger will also be there at the home game in the Catalan capital.
The match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will take place on October 16th. The Rolling Stones’ “Hackney Diamonds” will be released just a few days later on October 20th.
