For the 2016/17 season, FC Barcelona will be wearing a new Nike kit that that features the club’s classic broad vertical stripes alternate FC Barcelona’s traditional red and blue with lighter shades of the same hues. Thinner tonal stripes taper near the hem in a style that honours the model worn by the team in the 1991/92 season, when the club won its first ever European Cup at Wembley.

The sleeves and shoulders feature contrasting agility rib fabric that reveals midnight navy and hyper cobalt stripes.

The new shirt has gone on sale from Monday 30 May at Nike.com/fcb, FCBotigues and via official distributors.

Details of Wembley

A reference to the club's pride appears on both the interior and exterior of the shirt. “Barça” is knit into the back collar alongside a small woven Catalan flag, the Senyera, which FC Barcelona fans recreated with large yellow and red cards in the stands on the night of the club’s 1992 European victory in London. “Un Crit’” and “Valent,” which together mean “Our Cry is Bold” in Catalan, adorn the inside right and left cuffs, respectively. The phrase draws from the club’s official fan anthem “Cant del Barça”, customarily sung prior to kick-off, while the players’ names and numbers font takes inspiration from the curves of the city’s iconic architecture.

The sides of the kit feature a red stripe detail that runs the length of the shirt and classic FC Barcelona blue shorts. The stripe expands when the player is in motion providing greater ventilation and revealing bold flashes of blue underneath.

The new home socks are blue with a distinctive red linear graphic on the calf. The kit also features an alternate pair of red socks with a blue linear graphic.
