Barcelona drop Olivia Rodrigo kit for El Clasico

Barcelona have released their latest shirt for El Clasico, this time featuring American singer Olivia Rodrigo. The Blaugrana have made something of a tradition out of their partnership with sponsors Spotify, featuring some of the world’s biggest artists on the front of their shirt for their clashes with Real Madrid, in place of where the Spotify logo normally goes.

Earlier this season it was Ed Sheeran that featured on the front of the Barcelona shirt during their 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Others such as Drake, Rosalia, the Rolling Stones and Coldplay have also appeared on the front of the Barcelona top, as has Travis Scott, who attended Barcelona’s 4-3 victory last May at Montjuic.

Their latest edition sees Rodrigo’s initials ‘OR’  in a stylised font on the front of their home kit. Barcelona intend to sell 1,899 limited edition versions of the shirt, a further 22 exact replicas, and 11 signed shirts by Rodrigo herself. The shirt will be worn by the men’s shirt during El Clasico on the 10th of May, and the women’s shirt on the 6th of May. It comes as part of Spotify’s promotion ahead of Rodrigo’s third album, which is to be released on the 12th of July. Rodrigo is the eighth artist to feature on the front of the Barcelona shirt since the partnership with Spotify began.
