Barcelona will wear a ‘special’ shirt to play the Champions League

BARCELONA – Barcelona officially presented this week the shirt that it will use during the next season but keeps the designs of the other substitute outfits a secret … And this Friday it became known that, as it had already done for a couple of seasons in the decade of the 90s of the last century, he will wear a uniform specially designed for his participation in the Champions League.

The design has nothing to do with the one presented last Tuesday in which a large red cross can be seen on the right side that breaks the vertical lines and presents vertical stripes in red and blue tones but with a print on the same ones in which different elements of the city of Barcelona can be appreciated.

Nike, which in past years already made T-shirts for Barcelona with references to the Eixample neighborhood, Avenida de la Diagonal or even the Montserrat Mountain that inspired the black away kit with the shield and gold letters, is now It has been inspired by the neighborhoods of Les Corts (where the Camp Nou is located), Sant Antoni, Sants, El Raval or Poble Sec.

The new kit is considered ‘revolutionary’ and, as such, as soon as it was known through social networks it did not receive exactly good reviews from the fans, nothing that is not known around the Camp Nou, when there was already a lot of discrepancy so much in 2015 with the first design of horizontal stripes or in 2019, when Nike surprised with a checkered design.

While waiting for it to be made official, in this way, it is already known that Barça will wear a special shirt in the Champions League … And the presentation of the second kit is also expected in the next few days, which will be purple, in a shade lighter than the lilac color that the Barça team already wore during the 2016-17 season.
