One of the world’s most popular soccer clubs welcomes a new look for the 2014-15 season, as today FC Barcelona unveiled its new Nike home kits, a modernized take on the team’s iconic uniforms.
Most notably, Barca’s new shirt features widened stripes rendered in darker shades of red and blue, for a bolder, more striking look that doesn’t depart too much from the team’s established style. Further, the relaxed collar is done in blue and integrates the Senyera flag into the V-neck, the first time the Catalan flag has appeared on the club’s shirt. The shirt is then finished with the familiar FC Barcelona crest, which has been subtly updated and tweaked for a more vibrant style.
Shifting inside the back of the neck, a blue pennant tab is emblazoned with the club’s founding year, 1899, and its inspirational motto: “Mes que un club,” or “More than a club.”
The new FC Barcelona kits are finished with a renovated short, solid blue with a thin red stripe up each side, and the home socks are blue with a red band at the top and chevrons striped along the back.
