“We couldn't be more excited and proud to finally introduce the Jimi Hendrix kit to the world; a true intersection of sports, music and pop culture.

The tribute shirt was made by Adidas, the brand that sponsors the aforementioned club, and combines violet, orange and yellow, psychedelic colors, linked to rock.
