Blending Gibson heritage with the beautiful game, these limited-edition shirts are perfect for fans who move fluidly between music and sport
Gibson has teamed up with custom football kit maker Icarus Football for its first-ever football shirt collection, bringing together music and sports in two unique designs. The collaboration reflects the Gibson mission to connect with fans beyond music through something wearable, collectible, and rooted in its identity and history.
With a summer of international football taking over the USA, it’s a reminder of how sport can bring so many people together, just as music does. The limited-edition Gibson x Icarus Football kit collection reinterprets classic football aesthetics through the lens of Gibson heritage with two styles: a white Gibson USA Shirt, in a long-sleeve silhouette, and a blue Gibson Stars Shirt, presented in a short-sleeve cut with a bold star-patterned backdrop.

Each piece blends the attitude of Gibson with Icarus Football’s reputation for storytelling through kit design. Wear them at home, in stadium stands, on festival grounds, or even put them on display in a studio, or your own rehearsal space. Gibson chose to partner with Icarus Football for its distinctive position at the intersection of football and music culture. Beyond its reputation for original, story-driven kit design, Icarus Football has longstanding associations with numerous bands, including Motörhead and Broken Social Scene.
Looking ahead, Gibson and Icarus Football plan to explore future collections inspired by the approach of the world’s top football clubs, with the ambition of creating annual kits that incorporate design elements drawn from the Gibson Garage London, Gibson Garage Nashville, and Gibson Garage Miami, as well as each city’s local music culture, heritage, and creative spirit.
While future executions are being considered, this inaugural release stands alone as a bold first step into a new cultural arena. With limited quantities, the Gibson x Icarus Football collection is designed to be both rare and collectible.
The limited-edition Gibson x Icarus Football shirts are available now via Gibson.com and Gibson Garage locations.
