Watford have unveiled a special-edition kit in honour of their most famous supporter and former chairman, Sir Elton John.
Inspired by the artwork for his 2017 "Diamonds" greatest hits album, the shirt features a faint star motif across the front, silver Watford crest and Kelme logos, and the clubs retro Happy Hornet badge on the hem.
The collar and cuffs carry additional star details, while the reverse is embossed with lyrics from one of his most iconic songs, "Your Song".
The strip designed in collaboration with Elton himself will be worn when the Hornets host Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.
It marks the beginning of celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the music legend becoming Watford chairman back in 1976, a role in which he oversaw the clubs remarkable rise from the Fourth Division to the First.
To launch the release, current players recreated some of Eltons most famous album covers in full kit. Defender Kevin Keben channelled "Jump Up!" with a bowler hat, while Mattie Pollock paid tribute to "Rock of the Westies".
Half music, half football, all Watford this ones a showstopper worthy of the Rocket Man himself.
