Meyba

This sports brand was established in Terrassa, by Josep Mestre and Joaquim Ballbé in the 1940s,^[2] with its name coming from the founders' initial syllables.

After years of successfully creating shorts, shirts and shoes for the popular beaches of Barceloneta, it was not until 1981 that Meyba became an internationally known. By signing an agreement with FC Barcelona to provide sports– and leisurewear, the dream of Mestre and Ballbé was about to come true. During the 10 years that FC Barcelona wore Meyba apparel, the team won many prizes and honors. The team, with players such as Michael Laudrup, Ronald Koeman, José Mari Bakero and the young Pep Guardiola, will forever be remembered as "the Dreamteam V1". And Meyba, with its bold designs, daring use of colour and the Mitica M symbol, will likewise forever be remembered with them.

However, in 1994, the company fell into receivership, leading to its closure in 1997. It was then acquired by Pulligan Group, owned by Joan Canals.^[3] In 2013, the brand rights were acquired by the Dutch brand Premium, which manages the brand rights of Johann Cruyff.^[4][5]
