Athletic Bilbao to Wear The Last of Us Logo On Kit This Weekend

Athletic Club has announced a unique collaboration with MAX to promote the second season of the hit series The Last of Us.

Athletic Club x The Last of Us Season 2 - Pre-Match Only?

The Basque club will wear the logo of the HBO series on their pre-match and, possibly, playing shirts during their match against Rayo Vallecano at San Mamés on Sunday, April 13.

Indeed, there is some unclarity if Athletic Club will wear The Last of Us Season 2 on the match kits. The pictures show the pre-match jerseys with the added logos. Meanwhile, the text on the website reads that the logo will be worn "on the playing kit." However, Athletic is actually sponsored by Kutxabank, whose logo usually appears on every match kit.

As part of the agreement, San Mamés stadium (nicknamed "La Catedral") will be illuminated for the premiere of The Last of Us from April 9 to 15. The second season of the acclaimed series debuts on April 14.

Athletic Club president Jon Uriarte made a connection between the team's philosophy and the series: "The title of the series perfectly reflects the uniqueness of Athletic's philosophy. We are the last team in the five major European leagues to compete with players from the land we represent. The last of the romantic teams that, as in the series, also struggles to defend its identity in an unfavourable environment."
