Barcelona x Drake Shirt On-Pitch Debut
Update: Following Friday's big reveal of the first artist to appear on Barcelona's shirt as part of their Spotify deal, their home kit featuring Drake's OVO Sound logo was worn in today's game against Real Madrid. Check out the photos below.
The shirt will not bring back happy memories for Barca fans, unfortunately, as they lost the game 3-1. While Drake himself may not have been too emotionally invested in the outcome of the match, he did lose a €633,000 bet because of the result.
All Barcelona layers did also wear the No. 50 on their pre-match jerseys to celebrate the Drake's 50 billion Spotify streams.
How do you think the shirt looks on-pitch? Comment below.

Barcelona Shirts to Carry OVO Sound Logo vs Real Madrid
To celebrate Drake being the first artist to achieve 50 billion streams on Spotify, the logo of his record label, OVO Sound, will take the place of Spotify's logo on the front of Barcelona's shirts this weekend. It is the first of what we hope will be many variations on the shirt as part of the Spotify deal, as the music streaming service have been talking about plans to use the space of the front of the jersey in innovative ways.
Drake himself broke the news this morning with an Instagram post of the shirt sent to him with the gold logo emblazoned on the front. His name and the number 50 are printed on the back in reference to the record number of streams he has set. The Barcelona squad will warm up with the number 50 on the back of their training shirts before the match.
Juli Guiu, Vice President for the marketing area of FC Barcelona said:
“Our alliance with Spotify goes beyond a mere commercial relationship. It is a strategic relationship through which we seek to bring together two worlds that can arouse emotion, namely music and football.”
It seems as though the limited edition OVO shirts won't be for sale, but Barcelona have announced that they will do a giveaway for some fans and club members.
How do you think OVO's owl logo looks on the shirt? Who else would you like to see appear on the Barcelona's shirts in future? Comment below.
Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.
Black & Gold Liverpool 26-27 Lifestyle Shirt Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom
QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.
The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.
From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.
