Barca-based brand MEYBA continue their triumphant return to football, releasing a series of collaborative shirts with a selection of brands that continues their unique pitch style that’s dripping in lifestyle-focused energy.
MEYBA launched a new capsule collection back in November, announcing their return to the game, albeit with a new approach that at once drew on their rich heritage whilst also bringing something fresh to the future of football fashion. Now MEYBA, which carved its reputation and heritage on the backs of some of Barcelona’s most famous players through the 80s, is partnering with several other brands – SoccerBible included – to produce a super-limited range of football shirts.
The brief was simple enough: brands were given the opportunity by MEYBA to customise a few base templates as well as adding their own touch. We opted for the Blue/Purple and Pink/White trippy numbers and we created a warped SoccerBible logo to tie into the tie dye nature of the shirts. As mentioned, the shirts are super limited edition – only 20 per brand are available, but the collection as a whole highlights MEYBA’s return to the arena, making us crave a potential move back into the club game.
MEYBA wanted the shirts to feel real, building a connection as a brand that works on both levels – high end fashion thinking meets real football fans, and to accomplish this the shirts were modelled by a local a grassroots team, giving the shirts that real world feel.
Looking good both on the pitch but on the streets also is the essence of MEYBA’s new mindset, and the thought of that translating into club wear is certainly a tantalising one. That creative spirit combined with such a rich heritage, melded together with a new outlook could well mean a breath of fresh air in the footballing arena. A space to certainly watch…
