Outkast, in collaboration with MUNDIAL, has unveiled an exclusive capsule collection titled Stankonia FC, commemorating the 25th anniversary of their iconic hip-hop album, ‘Stankonia’. This partnership also coincides with the duo’s upcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The collection, available at mundialmag.com/collections/store, marks Outkast’s first foray into the realm of soccer, merging the worlds of hip-hop and football. Released a quarter-century ago, ‘Stankonia’ represents a pivotal moment in music history. The album encompasses a diverse array of sounds, blending funk, rock, psychedelia, and rave influences, and has left an indelible mark on the hip-hop genre. MUNDIAL, known for its innovative approach to football culture, aligns perfectly with Outkast’s boundary-defying artistic vision. The limited-edition capsule reimagines the essence of ‘Stankonia’ as a fictional soccer club, Stankonia F.C. The collection features a striking soccer jersey inspired by the album’s iconic black and white Stars and Stripes cover art, alongside contemporary soccer design elements. The jersey boasts a nostalgic 90s style, complete with a perfectly proportioned collar, Outkast’s logo, and a monochrome U.S. flag on the chest. The design is further accentuated by the lyrics ‘Foreva Eva’ from their hit single ‘Ms. Jackson’ and the number 25, symbolizing the album’s milestone anniversary. Accompanying the jersey are a short-sleeved tee featuring the custom Stankonia F.C. crest and the album artwork, a long-sleeved tee adorned with the club’s name in a gothic typeface, and a black hoodie emblazoned with the lyrics ‘The sky is falling, ain’t no need to panic’ from the track ‘So Fresh, So Clean’. As Outkast prepares for their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Atlanta gears up for the 2026 World Cup, the Stankonia F.C. collection celebrates the duo’s groundbreaking legacy. This collaboration exemplifies the seamless integration of music and soccer culture, highlighting Outkast’s lasting influence 25 years after their seminal album redefined the hip-hop landscape.
