MEYBA Launches Unique Football Shirt Collection Inspired by The Beatles

MEYBA has introduced a fresh collection of football shirts that pays homage to the iconic albums ‘Abbey Road’ and ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.’

What sets the ‘Yellow Submarine’ shirt apart is its broader cultural significance, showcasing the psychedelic colors and vibrant visuals from the 1968 animated film, which followed the album’s release by two years. The influence of ‘Yellow Submarine’ is credited with spearheading a resurgence in vivid artistic styles in animation over subsequent decades.

In this modern reinterpretation, MEYBA has crafted each shirt as a tribute to different locations depicted in the film. The black-and-white design represents the Sea of Holes, while the recognizable images of the titular submarine and the Blue Meanies are accented with their signature color palettes.

Additionally, the collection includes limited edition graphic t-shirts featuring either the quote ‘All You Need Is Love’ or the submarine depicted in a reversed color scheme. While the main colors of these t-shirts—white, black, and grey—may appear understated, they provide a striking contrast to the vibrant graphics, embodying the spirited aesthetic of the late sixties Beatles era.

Another standout item is a coveted varsity jacket, adorned with caricatures of the band members: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, set against jet black sleeves. The body features a deep blue reminiscent of the Blue Meanies, and the jacket is completed with a ‘Yellow Submarine’ patch alongside the MEYBA logo on the front, with a cartoon depiction of the band on the back.

The latest MEYBA x The Beatles collection is now available for purchase at MEYBA.com. Originally one of Spain’s most prominent sportswear producers, MEYBA has a rich history, including a partnership with FC Barcelona during their first European Cup victory in 1992. The brand has expanded its football shirt offerings to celebrate various cultural intersections, from festivals to music.

Jonathan Jones, MEYBA’s Head of Global Marketing, expressed: “This collection encapsulates the essence of MEYBA—creativity, nostalgia, and cultural storytelling through football design. ‘Yellow Submarine’ enabled us to merge sport, art, and music in a joyful and playful manner.”

This collection is especially remarkable as it concludes with a Spanish brand celebrating art linked to ‘Yellow Submarine,’ which shares its name with Villarreal, one of Spain’s most successful football clubs located in a town of about 50,000 residents.

However, this launch is not the conclusion of MEYBA’s journey back into the football scene. The brand has ambitious plans ahead, having secured partnerships with clubs worldwide.
