You’ve experienced the album, more than once. Sung its title track loudly with besties. And how you wished you’d seen it performed live.
Now, Pink Floyd is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here with a sportswear tie-in that you never saw coming.
The prog-rock masters have teamed up with Italian soccer giants FC Internazionale Milano (Inter Milan) and Sony Music Italy for another round of Pink Floyd Football Club (PFFC), with a new capsule inspired by the friendly team founded by the band in the 1970s.
The PFFC collection includes two exclusive, limited-edition goodies, including the “anthem jacket” (priced at $290.10), one of just 400 numbered pieces with exclusive packaging which the Nerazzurri will wear prior to the team’s match again Cagliari at San Siro on Friday, April 17. Fans can also snap-up a bundle consisting of an original T-shirt and an exclusive blue vinyl, limited to 1,908 copies (and priced at $64.70), plus retro PFFC jerseys, scarves, plectrums, drumsticks, tote bags and more.
PFFC kicked off the start of the ‘70s, a squad that played during breaks from touring and featured David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, the late Richard Wright and crew.
The iconic PFFC photo by Kim Gottlieb-Walker “inspires the collection,” reads a statement. Look closely at the groovy blue-and-white retro jersey, which carries the PFFC lettering at its center as a tribute to the shirt worn in the original photograph. The back is emblazoned with 50th anniversary logo of “Wish You Were Here,” adapted for the club, and the sleeves are embellished with the Inter logo and the iconic Pink Floyd burning man handshake symbol.
The PFFC merch is available at the official Inter online store and at Inter Stores Milano, Castello, and San Siro.
Wish You Were Here is here to stay. The album was the U.K.’s Christmas No. 1 last year, five decades after it first hit the top spot. A new digital and physical reissue of the 1975 LP features several previously unreleased alternate versions and demos of songs such as “Shine on You Crazy Diamond” and its title track. It was Floyd’s second No. 1 album of the 2025 after the re-release Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII, a live show from 1971, hit the top spot in May.
“Wish You Were Here” is one of eight curated classics from 1971-79 that will appear on Pink Floyd 8-Tracks, a new compilation album due out June 5. The tracklist includes hits “Money,” “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2,” “Time,” “Comfortably Numb” and an exclusive full version of “Pigs On The Wing,” previously available on the 1977 Animals 8-Track cartridge release.
The music and merch lives on, but Pink Floyd is no longer active. “I’m done with it,” Gilmour told Classic Rock magazine in 2015, a year after the release of what turned out to be the British band’s final album, The Endless River.
