FC Barcelona's new kits for El Clásico, a rivalry match against Real Madrid, are a unique collaboration with Tyler, The Creator. This marks the first time an artist has had full creative control over a Spotify artist kit collection. The kits feature Tyler's GOLF WANG brand logo on a gold block print, set against the club's red and blue striped home kit.

The jerseys will be worn by Lamine Yamal and the men's team during the Oct. 25 game at Camp Nou, and the women's team will wear them in their match against Granada the following day. Last year, FC Barcelona won the La Liga championship while wearing Olivia Rodrigo-branded kits. Previous collaborations have featured artists like Karol G, Ed Sheeran, Travis Scott, Rosalía, Coldplay, The Rolling Stones, and Drake.

The merchandise collection includes various items such as jerseys, longsleeve T-shirts, a varsity jacket, track jacket, T-shirts, hoodies, a water bottle, pin, sticker, a special edition blue leopard print soccer ball and brown scarf. Tyler, The Creator also directed a promotional video for the collaboration, playing an executive who holds auditions to join FC Barcelona.

The collaboration culminates with a Copa De Golf event in Barcelona on Oct. 24, where Odd Future member Taco will DJ a showcase of local artists.
