In a statement, Paris Saint-Germain announced: “The enigmatic icon kept an apartment in Paris for many years and performed countless concerts in the French capital starting in the mid-1980s, including pop-up club shows, late-night afterparties, and a historic June 16, 1990 performance at the Parc des Princes, the home of Paris Saint-Germain.”

The football jerseys feature Prince’s characteristic symbol on the front, each individually hand-dyed in purple and pink silk lining. The kit capsule will also include joggers, hoodies and a leather bucket hat all embellished with Prince’s signature symbol.
