Barcelona generate hefty profits as special Travis Scott shirts run out of stock in less than two hours | OneFootball

Although the team’s attention would currently be focused on the league match against Real Valladolid, FC Barcelona have two critical games awaiting them right after this match.

The first of these is against Inter Milan, which will decide which of these two teams goes into the final of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25. The other will be the La Liga El Clasico against Real Madrid, which can prove to be decisive for the La Liga race.

Travis Scott shirts sold out

For this latter game, the Blaugranes will play with a special shirt, one that will feature the American rapper Travis Scott. This special shirt has been made because of the contract between Spotify and Barcelona, and has already brought other high-profile artists like Drake, Rosalia, the Rolling Stones, Karol G, and Coldplay to the Blaugrana shirt for league El Clásico.

It was only today that the Catalan side confirmed these shirts and put them on sale in their official stores. But according to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan club had already sold out all of these shirts, raising €1,585,161.80 in only around one hour.

Big earnings

Barcelona released four editions of these shirts, two for men and another two for women. One of these was a limited edition, of which 1899 units were produced and every unit was sold for €399.99. The other was an exclusive signed version, with only 22 products in total, 11 men’s and 11 women’s, on which there were signatures of all the players. This shirt was sold at €2,999.99 each.

The limited edition shirts thus generated €1,519,162.02, while the signed edition shirts generated another €65,999.78. Thus, the total earning from these shirts for Barcelona stands at €1,585,161.80, or €1.5 million.

The Catalans had put these shirts up for sale just after 9 o’clock in the morning, and a few minutes after 10 AM, all of these shirts were already out of stock.

This high demand for the shirts show the successful collaboration between one of the biggest football clubs in the world and one of the most popular music artists in the world, Travis Scott. Hopefully, will also provide beneficial results on the pitch on May 11th.
