Aston Villa and adidas celebrate the legacy of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath

Aston Villa has unveiled a new collaboration with adidas and rock icons Black Sabbath, bringing together the two passions of football and music.

The new launch features a limited edition Predator football boot and a specially designed Villa shirt which pays homage to the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, and the band.

Both pieces celebrate Osbourne’s influence in music and culture and offer a unique bridge between sport and rock history, continuing the creative journey of adidas x Villa and Black Sabbath, where Ozzy and Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath featured in a one-of-a-kind launch video to announce the partnership.

The custom version of the Predator 24 boot was hand-painted by artist Jordan Dawson, who drew inspiration from the iconic albums from the band.

While this exclusive Predator boot will not be for sale, fans can catch a glimpse of it on the pitch as Villa goalkeeper Emi Martínez will wear the custom boot in an upcoming fixture.

In conjunction with the launch of the Predator boot, adidas and Aston Villa are releasing a limited edition shirt emblazoned with ‘Black Sabbath’ on the back. The distinctive design debuted on the field when Aston Villa faced Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup earlier this week.

Only 250 adult men’s shirts will be available to buy with a Black Sabbath patch (200 home shirts, 50 black goalkeeper).

Speaking about the collection, Rock Hall of Fame Legend Ozzy Osbourne said: “My absolute favourite colours in the world have always been purple and black. It’s been Black Sabbath colours for over 50 years. Tony, Geezer, Bill and I look at this as a huge honour. Up the Villa!”
