Umbro have partnered with the Joe Strummer Foundation for a new charity football shirt, and the launch of JSF FC (Strummer United).
The new initiative has been launched ahead of the World Cup later this year, with its aims to 'promote equality, inclusivity, and diversity whilst providing opportunities to young people and raising funds for the Foundation and the projects it supports'.
The initial focal point is a new red Umbro football shirt, which goes on sale tomorrow (Friday, July 1).
"Joe was a big football fan, and during rehearsals at Vanilla Studios for the recording of London Calling, he and the rest of The Clash played lots of five-a-side, using football as a means of bringing the band closer together," reads a statement.
"JSF FC (Strummer United) aims to incubate the culture clash of football and music in a World Cup year to promote equality, inclusivity, and diversity, whilst providing opportunities to young people and raising funds for projects the foundation supports."
