Pink Floyd have announced a new collaboration with Italian football club Inter Milan.
This collaboration has been revealed by Inter, in collaboration with Pink Floyd and Sony Music, celebrating the 50th anniversary of their album, Wish You Were Here. This will include an anthem jacket which will be worn by players ahead of their Serie A match v Cagliari on Friday (April 17).
This merch will also include a t shirt and vinyl, as well as scarves, guitar picks, tote bags, drumsticks and the PFFC Collection, a capsule which is inspired by the football, founded by Pink Floyd.
The album's cover also featured reimagined retro jerseys, which display the 50th anniversary logo of Wish You Were Here.
