Tyler, The Creator Puts GOLF WANG on Barça’s Clásico Shirt

FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona and Tyler, The Creator have unveiled a collection from his label GOLF WANG, together with Spotify. It includes a special shirt for El Clásico against Real Madrid.

When Barcelona face Real Madrid in El Clásico on 25 October, a different name will appear across the front of their shirts. Instead of Spotify’s usual logo, the players will wear the GOLF branding of GOLF WANG, the streetwear label founded by American rapper and producer Tyler, The Creator. The partnership also extends to a wide-ranging collection of clothing and accessories.

The collaboration marks another step in Barcelona’s growing tradition of featuring artists on their shirts. For the first time, Spotify has given an artist and his brand full creative control over the accompanying visual and video campaign.

GOLF WANG Meets the Colours of FC Barcelona

Created together with Nike, the collection pairs FC Barcelona’s club colours and branding with elements from GOLF WANG’s streetwear world. Since its launch in 2011, GOLF WANG has grown into a fashion label in its own right, known for bold colours, striking patterns and a playful take on classic streetwear.

Alongside a bomber jacket, the range includes a retro tracksuit and a second outfit in leopard print. T-shirts, hoodies, socks, a beanie, a water bottle and a scarf complete the line-up.

The collection has been available since 15 October from Barça Stores, the club’s online shop, Nike.com, SNKRS and selected Nike stores. It is also stocked by GOLF stores in Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Sydney and London, as well as on golfwang.com.

Barça Femení to Debut the Special Shirt

Barcelona’s women’s team will be the first to wear the special shirt in a competitive match. They will take to the pitch in the design in Liga F on 24 October, a day before El Clásico.

Several limited editions will also be available for collectors. A match-quality version is limited to 1,899 pieces. There are also 22 shirts signed by players from both matches, plus a further 11 signed by Tyler, The Creator.

From Drake to Tyler, The Creator

Since the club’s partnership with Spotify began in 2022, FC Barcelona have used selected matches to put artists and their work on the shirt. Drake came first, with his OVO owl appearing on the front of Barça’s shirts in October 2022.

Rosalía, the Rolling Stones, Karol G, Coldplay, Travis Scott, Ed Sheeran and Olivia Rodrigo followed. Tyler, The Creator is the ninth artist in the series, which now stretches into the world of his fashion label.

The collaboration also reaches beyond the pitch. On 24 October, Spotify will host the “Copa De Golf” in Barcelona, an evening bringing together music, football and fashion. Yung Taco headlines with a DJ set.
