- Campaign Launch: Celta Vigo initiated a campaign to find the 1989-90 home shirt worn by Madonna during her 1990 concert at their stadium.
- Public Outreach: The club sent a letter to Madonna and wore shirts with the message "MADONNA DO YOU HAVE IT?" during a match against Real Madrid to reach her.
- Madonna's Response: Madonna confirmed she has the shirt in her archives and shared a photo of herself wearing it during the concert.
In one of the most unexpected and brilliant crossovers between football heritage and global pop culture, La Liga side Celta Vigo recently launched a massive campaign to track down a very specific piece of club history: the 1989-90 home shirt worn by Madonna during her iconic concert at their stadium.
For those who might need a refresher, Madonna is universally recognized as the "Queen of Pop" and remains one of the most influential cultural icons of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Celta Vigo Launches Campaign to Find the Jersey Madonna Wore in 1990
Over the past week, Celta Vigo's current president, Marián Mouriño Terrazo, spearheaded a campaign to locate this mythical jersey. Recognizing the cultural weight of the photograph of Madonna wearing the shirt, the club took a direct approach.
First, Celta Vigo penned a heartfelt, formal letter directly to the American singer. In the letter, the president beautifully explained that her wearing the shirt "has become a myth and is now part of our history", before formally asking if she still had it in her possession.
To ensure the message reached her, the club took the campaign to the pitch. During their recent match against Real Madrid, the Celta players walked out of the tunnel wearing special sky-blue pre-match shirts emblazoned with a massive, bold message across the chest: "MADONNA DO YOU HAVE IT?".
Known for her constant reinvention and boundary-pushing music, her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour was a global phenomenon. It was during the Spanish leg of this legendary tour, specifically on July 29, 1990, that she performed at Celta's Estadio Municipal de Balaídos and famously donned the club's sky-blue home jersey on stage.
Madonna Responds
The viral campaign worked perfectly. Catching wind of the club's search, Madonna took to X (formerly Twitter) to give Celta Vigo fans the exact answer they were hoping for.
Sharing an incredible retro photo of herself passionately singing in the 1989-90 Celta shirt, she quoted the club's campaign and confirmed the shirt's safety:
This shirt is hanging in my archives! I am wearing and representing your team in spirit!!♥️
A Piece of History Preserved
Naturally, the club was thrilled with the response. Celta Vigo's official account quickly replied to the music legend, expressing their love and stating: "Thank you for replying - and for keeping a piece of Celta's history alive. Sempre Madonna. Sempre Celta.".
It is incredibly rare to see a club go to such lengths to reconnect with a pop-culture moment from over three decades ago, but it goes to show just how much these classic shirts mean to the identity of a team.
What do you think of Celta Vigo's campaign to reach Madonna? Are there any other famous pop-culture kit moments you wish clubs would acknowledge? Let us know in the comments below!
Adidas Messi Special-Edition Argentina Kit Leaked - 2 New Images
We have new images of the special-edition Adidas Lionel Messi Argentina kit, showing the design produced with authentic Climacool+ specifications. However, the jersey in the pictures is a counterfeit. Fakers have moved quickly to manufacture physical shirts that replicate Adidas' latest top-tier player-issue template based on earlier replica/fan leaks of the signature design. Following Messi's international retirement after the 2026 World Cup, it remains to be seen what Adidas will ultimately do with the official rollout of the special-edition Messi kit and accompanying collection, and if it will be available as authentic and worn in a match.

A retro-styled white polo collar with a crossover V-neck and contrasting white sleeve cuffs complement the classic aesthetic. Adding depth to the navy base is a subtle tone-on-tone geometric pattern featuring a diamond grid interwoven with the three interlaced crescents from the city of Bordeaux's coat of arms.
Hummel completes the jersey with its signature white chevrons running along the shoulders, alongside the Hummel wordmark and the club's crest displayed on the chest. Navy shorts and socks complete the full 26-27 home kit.

The Puma Stade de Reims 26-27 third jersey is predominantly black, accented by curved light grey brush-stroke graphics across the body that resemble skid marks on asphalt.

The new third kit is available through the club's official webshop.

Shuffle's logo will be displayed on the sleeve of Sunderland's kits throughout the multi-year partnership, providing global visibility for the platform as the Black Cats continue to overhaul their commercial lineup.
