MUNDIAL and Admiral Sports team up for limited edition Bob Marley collection

To coincide with the release of Bob Marley: One Love, football culture magazine MUNDIAL has teamed up with Admiral Sports for a limited-edition Bob Marley capsule collection.

The range is inspired by Marley’s visit to Battersea Park in 1977. He would visit and play football with the locals in breaks between recording the Exodus LP.

The collection features a reissue of his full iconic tracksuit, alongside the yellow ‘Rico’ t-shirt from Rico Rodriguez MBE, worn by band members during the games. It also includes two Marley-inspired football shirts.

“These sprawling semi-organised pick-up games are the way everyone started playing football as a kid – it’s football in its purest form and, of course, Bob and The Wailers did it in their own inimitable style,” said Owen Blackhurst, Editorial Director at MUNDIAL.
“It’s an honour for MUNDIAL to be able to celebrate Bob’s legacy.”

Theo Hamburger, Head of Sales and Marketing at Admiral Sports, added: “Being part of the Bob Marley story is an honour. He is an icon who’s message and music filters through the generations. Engaging with people from across Battersea and telling their stories through both music and football just goes to show the great legacy Bob `and the band had on the area. Both music and football have an ever-connected link and none more so than in Marley himself.”
