In my opinion, they destroyed their brand many years ago, by selling out to commercial entities like Dressman (Norway). Mick flew down to Buenos Aires to attend their company celebration, and they sold tons of tongue shirts to non-fans in Norway.

Selling their brand to Barcelona FC is almost like making a polical statement. I wonder if they will sell their tongue to a team in the UK premier league. They are probably too smart to do that.

It's no political statement. Spotify has a sponsoring contract with Barcelona and part of the deal was an artist collaboration (they did it with Drake and a Spanish artist). If it was not Barca, but Man Utd, they would surely 'sell their tongue logo' to them. It's just business.

Yes, I'm not sure how it is a political statement in any way.

After this, album sales will rise in Cataluña, but will fall in the rest of Spain

This was all about increasing streaming of the older catalogue of songs on Spotify, not a political statement. With Hackney Diamonds as a ‘way in’

The deal between Spotify and FC Barcelona is 95 M€ each year (sponsor on the jersey, during practice and naming of FCB stadium).

For the Stones, this was seen by 650 millions people all over the world.
Not a big deal for the sales if Madrid, Valencia or other spanish fans are unhappy.

Naomi Klein was right: We live in a Logo world. The Rolling Stones, FC Barcelona and Spotify are just a few examples of that. Nothing new there.

Cool shirt, but €399 is just sickening.
Made in China, where they sell reps for $15

The entire FC Barcelona merchandise is sickening. The word maffia comes to mind.

(Google translate might help you if you don't know Spanish)

I said "almost" like a political statement. Just like "almost" like a religious statement, and most certainly 100% choosing side in sports matters.

Mind you for many football is the most important thing there is. Imagine Mick and Ronnie and Matt Clifford went to Etihad Stadium, and Manchester City walked out on the pitch with their home jersey and the Stones tongue. I am sure some of us would not like to see that happening.

May be they need the money, may be it is all about the money these days.

Barça-Madrid match played in Montjuïc will be remembered as the Rolling Stones classic . Mick Jagger and Ron Wood enjoyed the match in the box at the Estadi Olímpic , where two blows from Jude Bellingham left the Barcelona fans frozen on the day that Xavi's players wore the iconic tongue of the legendary rock band printed on their shirts. The Barça defeat by 1-2 did not discourage the guests of the occasion from completing the trip to the Catalan capital in one of the city's acclaimed restaurants .

Hours after the meeting, the two members of the Stones went to the Ribera neighborhood and had dinner at Estimar , located near the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar and with a reputation for providing the best fish in the Catalan capital. Together with their companions, Jagger and Wood feasted on fish. The menu included Roses prawns , crayfish , toast with butter and caviar and grilled fish

I hope the worldwide headline is this:

"Barça gets Licked!"

From Instagram :



Which t-shirt is Mick's favorite?

Flat hair Mick ......... too much cap wear

There’s a heap of “cheap knockoffs” available at dodgy brother online stores. Be careful giving your credit card details to them!!

And always ask for the complete set, including the black box, and the certificate with the number on it.

This is the (or one of many) replica ('s). Don't know if this is 'official' of 'original'. It's in any case not the numbered 'exclusive' one, sold on the Barca site (only 1899 were made and come in an exclusive box with a certificate.

Yes received it.

Not sure what the 2 brainiacs above are going on about the number 10 on the sample photo.
It comes without a name and number, though you can add them if you like to have Jagger on it.

But hey, enjoy the €399 version that was also made in China (and is sold out, so go pay the resale price of €650+).

Photo of the fan version of the shirt (they also have a players version).

Good enough for me, for a tshirt I'll probably wear a few times each summer.

Got mine few days ago from another chinese seller.
The fake one is on the right.
Of course, the fabric is not identical, there is no pattern in the copy.
The most glaring difference is that the tongue on the real jersey is not the official tongue. On the jersey worn during the match, a tongue with a specific design has been used.
(And on all copies, the classic tongue leans to one side).
For 20 euros...never mind.
