To coincide with the release of Bob Marley: One Love, we’ve teamed up with Admiral and the Bob Marley estate to create a limited edition collection inspired by Bob’s iconic kickabouts in Battersea Park while recording the Exodus LP in 1977.
Bob spent long hours playing football with The Wailers and the local community around him, and the photos and anecdotes from those matches are deeply woven into London’s musical and football folklore.
The collection features a reissue of the beautiful navy tracksuit Bob wore, home and away kits inspired by the Exodus album, and a graphic tee and long sleeve that pays homage to the ‘Rico’ T-shirt celebrating legendary reggae trombonist Rico Rodriguez.
We’ve always loved those pictures and dreamt of one day being able to pay tribute to Bob’s love of football and our enduring love of him and his music.
To celebrate the launch, we’ve also made a short film with director and cinematographer Matt Sellers that explores the relationship between Bob and the city he called his spiritual home. “Football is a part of I,” Marley once said. “When I play, the world wakes up around me.” Remember to put the sound on to get the full experience.
The film features the local community around Battersea, the fans who were irrevocably changed by his music, and a grassroots coach who was actually in the park when the Wailers were playing. It’s beautiful, moving, and brought us a lot of joy when making it. We hope it’s a joy for you to watch, too.
The MUNDIAL x Admiral Bob Marley collection is out now, don't miss out.
