Equipo FC Channels Island Heritage In UD Ibiza’s 10th Anniversary Prematch Shirt

UD Ibiza is turning 10, and to mark the occasion, the club has teamed up once again with Spanish creative studio Equipo FC to create a pre-match shirt that’s as steeped in heritage as it is sharp in execution. A piece that walks the line between fashion and folklore, this one’s less about hype and more about homage.

The result? A jersey that captures the island’s soul — not in loud statements, but in quiet, intricate elegance. Inspired by the traditional Ibizan peasant dress and the elaborate emprendada — a dazzling combination of chains, rings, and golden necklaces — the shirt features a custom pattern that tells the story of the island and the club's rise over the past decade.

Those golden ornaments aren’t just for show. Each symbol is either directly drawn from the original designs of the emprendada or reimagined with UD Ibiza’s own DNA — initials, founding year, and anniversary marks all embedded in the visual language. The overlap of motifs mirrors the layering of jewelry in the traditional outfit, creating a sense of richness and depth that gives the shirt its signature edge.

Flip it over, and there’s more storytelling. A bold ‘X’ sits proudly on the back, a Roman numeral nod to the milestone year. One arm of the X is formed from a section of the ornate Ibiza necklaces — a smart detail that ties everything back to the roots. It’s more than merch; it’s a wearable tribute.

Tying the look together is a gold-threaded club crest, woven into the fabric itself rather than slapped on top. It blends in — subtle, sleek, confident. Like the island, it doesn’t shout to be noticed.

For the launch, Equipo FC staged a campaign that spanned generations — a contemporary vision that respects Ibiza’s past while speaking to new audiences. It’s a bridge between tradition and now, with the club’s culture front and centre.

This isn’t the first time UD Ibiza and Equipo FC have linked up. Last season saw a lifestyle-heavy capsule inspired by summer on the island, proving the creative chemistry runs deep. The studio — known for bringing football’s cultural side to life with clubs like Real Betis, Osasuna, and brands like Kappa and Under Armour — continues to position Ibiza as a club with a creative identity that reaches far beyond the pitch.

The UD Ibiza 10th Anniversary prematch shirt is available now at the club’s official Palladium Can Misses store.
