Rolling Stones to release MLB themed vinyls for new record Hackney Diamonds

The Rolling Stones and Major League Baseball have teamed up to release limited edition vinyl of their new album Hackney Diamonds.

Available exclusively at TheRollingStones.com, and designed to be a limited edition collectors’ item, the vinyl sleeve will feature custom art for each of the 30 MLB Clubs. housing a single disc, baseball-white vinyl. The album already went viral once this year for their lead single’s music video for the song Angry featuring Sydney Sweeney, which has over 15 million views.

What I specifically love about this collaboration is its use of team colors, where the Rays columbia blue and navy color combination really shines:
