Barcelona’s first jersey adopted a half blue and half red design that is still used today. It is said that the color and original design of Barcelona’s jersey were inspired by the Swiss club Basel, which was the club that the founder of Barcelona, Joan Gamper, played for before.
Since the first jersey was released, Barcelona’s home jersey has undergone many changes and attempts, especially after the 1990s. In 2015, Nike released the first jersey in Barcelona’s history with horizontal stripes, which in some ways denied the club’s history.
In Barcelona’s 117-year history, they have only had three jersey suppliers: no supplier from 1899 to 1982, the supplier from 1982 to 1992 was the Meyba sports brand, the supplier from 1992 to 1998 was Kappa, and since 1998, Barcelona’s jersey supplier has been Nike.
1990-1991 Barcelona jersey
Barcelona kicked off the 90s with Meyba Jerseys, Meyba had been the clubs kit manufacturer all through the 80s and continued into the early 90s. The home jersey presented a red and blue striped pattern, accompanied by a blue collar and Meyba embellishments along the shoulders. The away jersey was a lighter shade of blue, featuring two distinct red and blue stripes on the right-hand side. This jersey shared the same collar and shoulder details as its home counterpart.
During the 90/91 season, the club achieved success under the guidance of Johan Cruyff. They claimed La Liga, finishing 10 points ahead of Atletico Madrid. The Barcelona team of the 90s comprised notable players such as Pep Guardiola, Michael Laudrup, and Ronald Koeman. Bulgarian Hristo Stoichkov emerged as the top scorer, netting 22 goals in all competitions and earning the affectionate nickname ‘El Pistolero’ (The Gunslinger) from the Spanish fans.
1991-1992 Barcelona jersey
In the 91/92 season, Barcelona retained the same home jersey. However, Meyba furnished them with a stunning orange away shirt. The brand’s logo was discreetly imprinted on the jersey, adding a touch of elegance. The away kit was equipped with a blue collar and blue sleeve details. Additionally, there was a subtle homage to the home shirt, as the blue and red accents ran down the chest, creating a cohesive look.
On the field, the Spanish powerhouse achieved even greater triumphs. Not only did they successfully defend their league title, but they also made history by clinching the European Cup for the very first time. In the final at Wembley, Barcelona emerged victorious over Sampdoria with a 1-0 scoreline. The decisive goal came from Ronald Koeman in extra time, etching his name into the club’s glorious history.
1992-1995 Barcelona jersey
In the 1992/93 season, Barcelona made a significant change in their jersey manufacturing. They swapped one renowned brand for another as Kappa entered the scene. Kappa’s initial foray into designing Barcelona’s kits was a remarkable success, producing some of the club’s most outstanding jerseys. These kits were used for three consecutive seasons.
The home jersey boasted thick red and blue stripes, with ‘barca’ and the Kappa logo printed all over it, reminiscent of what Meyba had done with the 1991/92 away kit. It also featured the iconic sleeve tape, which had the Kappa branding running along its length.
The away jersey was a unique teal color and shared similar details with the home shirt. The ‘Barca’ lettering and Kappa logo were also printed throughout. Kappa drew heavy inspiration from the previous Meyba kits, as the away jersey also incorporated red and blue stripes across the chest, paying homage to the club’s home colors.
Barcelona continued to assert their dominance in domestic competitions. They won the title in both the 1992/93 and 1993/94 seasons, achieving an impressive streak of four La Liga titles in a row. This accomplishment has not been replicated since. This particular Barcelona team is widely regarded as one of the greatest in football history. Nicknamed ‘the dream team’, it included players such as Hristo Stoichkov, Romário, Michael Laudrup, and Ronald Koeman, all of whom were considered among the best in the world at that time.
1995-1997 Barcelona jersey
As the 95/96 season arrived, it was deemed necessary to revamp the kits, and Kappa took on the task of creating new Home and Away Jerseys that would be utilized for the subsequent two seasons. The redesigned home jersey had stripes that were somewhat thinner compared to its predecessor, yet it retained all the ‘Barca’ and Kappa markings that had been present in the previous kits. The collar and sleeve taping also underwent a makeover, now incorporating the colors red, black, blue, and white.
The Away Jersey maintained the same teal base color and received comparable updates to those of the home kit. The same shoulder taping was applied to the away jersey, and the collar was modified to match that of the home jersey as well. The references to the home colors of red and blue were still evident on the away jersey, with streaks of these colors placed across the chest area.
The 1995/96 season marked Johan Cruyff’s final season at the helm of Barcelona after an eight-year tenure. The team concluded the league in third place and suffered a 1-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid in the Copa Del Rey final. In the following season, Barcelona fared better in the league, narrowly missing out on the title to Real Madrid by a margin of just two points. Ronaldo had an outstanding season, scoring a remarkable 34 goals.
1997-1998 Barcelona jersey
Two years had passed when Kappa once again introduced new Home and Away shirts, this time making quite significant alterations to both. The Home Shirt presented a novel take on the traditional striped design. It had two blue stripes positioned in the middle, flanked on either side by two red stripes. This time, the club opted to do away with the collar. The Kappa and ‘Barca’ details could only be spotted within the red stripes, adding a subtle yet distinct touch to the overall look.
The Away Jersey underwent the most substantial transformation. It reverted to the color orange for the first time since Meyba’s design in 1991. A thick blue stripe ran down the center of the jersey, accompanied by thinner blue stripes along the sleeves. For the first time in Barcelona’s shirt history, black was incorporated. There were two thin black stripes running parallel to the central blue stripe, and the sleeve taping was in black, bearing the Kappa branding.
In this season, Louis van Gaal made the move from Ajax to take on the managerial role at Barcelona. Following the club’s sale of Brazilian star Ronaldo to Inter Milan, van Gaal brought in another Brazilian, Rivaldo, to lead the attack. Rivaldo had an outstanding season, scoring 28 goals across all competitions. His goal-scoring prowess propelled the Spanish giants to a domestic double, clinching both the league title and the Copa Del Rey.
1998-1999 Barcelona jersey
With the arrival of the 1998/99 season, Kappa’s six-year association with Barcelona came to an end, and Nike took over the production of the club’s kits. Nike designed a very conventional home shirt, featuring thick blue and red stripes. Notably, for the first time in the club’s history, the badge was relocated to the middle of the shirt.
The away jersey underwent a major transformation. Barcelona donned a silver jersey for the first time. To maintain the club’s identity, the jersey incorporated blue and red accents under the arms. Additionally, Nike introduced a third jersey for the club this season. It had an orange base, with a thick blue stripe running horizontally across the chest, creating a unique and eye-catching design.
Louis van Gaal achieved an impressive feat by winning two La Liga titles in just two years. He brought in the De Boer brothers from Ajax, along with Patrick Kluivert. Rivaldo continued to display his goal-scoring prowess in Spain, netting another 29 goals in all competitions, further solidifying his status as a key player for the team.
1999-2000 Barcelona jersey
In the 1999/00 season, Nike crafted a new home jersey to mark a momentous occasion – Barcelona’s 100th season, as the club was founded in 1899. The Home Centenary shirt was a unique design, divided precisely down the middle, with one half being red and the other half blue. The Barcelona badge was positioned in the center, and on either side of it were the numbers 1899 and 1999, commemorating the club’s century-long history.
However, Louis Van Gaal and Barcelona were unable to secure their third consecutive La Liga title. They finished in second place, behind the unexpected frontrunners, Deportivo. Despite the lack of silverware for Barcelona during this season, Kluivert and Rivaldo continued their great form, scoring 23 goals each in all competitions.
2000-2001 Barcelona jersey
For the 00/01 season, Barcelona retained the same away shirt for the third consecutive season. However, they introduced a new home jersey. This new home shirt bore a strong resemblance to the one used in the 98/00 seasons, as it maintained the thick red and blue stripes. The sole distinction between the two was that Nike had incorporated a collar into the design for the current season.
It was the second consecutive trophyless season for Barcelona, a significant contrast to the club’s highly successful run throughout the 90s. The club’s decision to controversially sell the legendary Luis Figo to their fierce rivals, Real Madrid, led to a rift with the fans even before the season had commenced. Amidst these circumstances, Rivaldo continued to assert his dominance and was undeniably one of the premier players in the world. The Brazilian striker had an outstanding season, scoring 36 goals. Among these, none was more crucial than a spectacular bicycle kick that secured a Champions League spot in the final game of the season, highlighting his importance and ability to deliver in clutch moments.
2001-2002 Barcelona jersey
During the 2001/02 campaign, Barcelona’s home jersey retained its classic look. The familiar red and blue vertical stripes were still there, but this time, two gold lines were incorporated, gracefully descending from the sleeves down the length of the jersey.
The away jersey took on a distinct appearance. It was primarily gold in color, with a prominent thick black line running straight down the middle. On either side of this black line were single red and blue stripes, creating a unique and eye-catching design.
The third jersey was a simple yet stylish all-blue ensemble. Across all three jerseys, the Barcelona badge and the Nike swoosh were consistently centered, ensuring a recognizable and unified brand image.
In this particular season, Pep Guardiola bid farewell to the club. As a result, the captaincy was handed over to the Spanish full-back Sergi. Unfortunately, the club faced another challenging season. In La Liga, they managed only a fourth-place finish, lagging 11 points behind Valencia, who emerged as the league champions.
2002-2003 Barcelona jersey
In the 2002/03 season, the Barcelona home jersey underwent a significant transformation, the most substantial alteration to the home shirt in quite some time. The jersey was designed with a blue base, and two red stripes descended from the shoulders, gradually narrowing as they reached the bottom of the garment. Notably, the Barcelona badge and the Nike swoosh returned to their customary positions on the jersey, shifting away from the center for the first time since the 1997/98 season.
The away shirt, meanwhile, was a dark blue shade, with the home colors prominently displayed in a diagonal sash that cut across the jersey, adding a touch of flair and identity.
Barcelona were a mess of the pitch this season, with president Joan Gaspart’s last season at the club, they changed manager 3 times throughout the season. The club had its worst domestic season in 15 years finishing 6th and failing to get past the round of 32 in the Copa del Rey.
2003-2004 Barcelona jersey
For the 2003/04 season, the home jersey reverted to the classic thick vertical stripes. The Barcelona badge and Nike swoosh were placed in their traditional locations, while the kit also incorporated darker blue sleeves and a dark blue collar, giving it a somewhat refreshed yet familiar look.
The away shirt, interestingly, bore a resemblance to Manchester United’s third jersey from the same year. It was a gold-colored design, suggesting that Nike was perhaps using a common template during that period.
Off the pitch, Barcelona made significant changes by bringing in numerous new personnel. On the field, the addition of Ronaldinho proved to be a game-changer. After a few lackluster years, the club managed to rebound. They achieved a second-place finish in La Liga and also reached the quarter-finals of the Copa Del Rey. Ronaldinho had an outstanding season, emerging as the top scorer with 22 goals in all competitions, firmly establishing himself as a key figure in the team’s resurgence.
2004-2005 Barcelona jersey
In the 2004/05 season, Barcelona, like many other Nike-sponsored teams, was provided with the T90 jersey template. This particular template was designed to be lightweight, aiming to offer players an unhindered experience during play, free from any distractions. A number of European clubs adopted the T90 jersey. In the English Premier League, Manchester United and Arsenal donned it, while in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund was among the users. In La Liga, Atletico Madrid and Valencia also had their players wearing the T90 Jersey.
The 2004/05 season marked a significant milestone for Barcelona as they finally ended a six-year trophy drought. They clinched La Liga, a feat they hadn’t achieved since the 1998/99 season. The team had undergone a remarkable transformation. Carles Puyol led the side as captain, Samuel Eto’o spearheaded the attack, Xavi and Ronaldinho controlled the midfield, and it was also the season when a young Lionel Messi made his debut, heralding the start of what would become a legendary career.
2005-2006 Barcelona jersey
During the 2005/06 season, Barcelona’s home jersey underwent a notable change. For the very first time, it featured thinner red and blue stripes. The placement of the Nike Swoosh was slightly higher on the chest compared to the Barcelona Badge, a similarity it shared with the previous season’s design. In addition, Nike introduced a fluorescent green away jersey, which was a first in the club’s history.
Barcelona was beginning to enjoy the benefits of recruiting young and promising talent. This season proved to be a historic one for the club. They successfully defended their La Liga title and triumphed over Arsenal in the Champions League Final. Samuel Eto’o continued to establish himself as one of the top strikers globally, netting an impressive 34 goals across all competitions. His goal tally included the crucial equalizer in the Champions League Final. This was also Lionel Messi’s first season as a regular in the team. He made 25 appearances and managed to score 8 goals, showing glimpses of the talent that would later make him a football icon.
2006-2007 Barcelona jersey
In the 2006/07 season, the home jersey of Barcelona was designed with the thickest stripes the club had ever employed. This design bore a striking resemblance to the Kappa jerseys from the early 90s. The away jersey, on the other hand, was a vibrant orange color, clearly paying homage to the Meyba shirt of the 1991/92 season. Notably, this away jersey also made history by featuring a front shirt sponsor for the first time. However, it was not a typical commercial arrangement but rather a non-commercial agreement with UNICEF.
Following a couple of consecutive prosperous seasons, Barcelona’s hopes of securing a third La Liga victory in a row were dashed by goal difference. They ended the season with the same number of points as Real Madrid but had to settle for second place. The club did not manage to win any trophies during this campaign. Nevertheless, Ronaldinho continued to be a goal-scoring force for the club, netting 24 goals. At the same time, Messi was steadily emerging, contributing 17 goals to the team’s tally.
2007-2008 Barcelona jersey
The 2007/08 season holds great significance when it comes to Barcelona’s jerseys. It was a landmark moment as, for the first time ever, Barcelona had a front shirt sponsor across all of its jerseys. This was part of a non-commercial agreement with UNICEF, which had previously been featured on the previous year’s third jersey. The home shirt maintained the traditional Barcelona look, while the away shirt was a unique gradient blue. Both jerseys were adorned with a special badge that commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Camp Nou.
In the 2007/08 season, it was also time for another transformation of the squad. Ronaldinho was playing his final season with the club, and Thierry Henry was making his debut. The club’s performance in La Liga saw them finish in third place, trailing the champions, Real Madrid, by 18 points. Additionally, the club managed to reach the semi-finals of both the Copa Del Rey and the Champions League, showing glimpses of their potential despite not winning the league.
2008-2009 Barcelona jersey
During the 2008/09 season, Barcelona’s jersey design took a trip down memory lane. They reverted to a half red and half blue jersey, drawing inspiration from two significant eras. Firstly, it was reminiscent of the very first jersey the club donned way back in 1899. Secondly, it echoed the centenary shirt from 1999. The away jersey, on the other hand, was a bright yellow with a blue and red strip. It was quite evident that this design was influenced by the Meyba away shirts from the 80s.
This season also witnessed a significant change in the managerial position. The club brought in Pep Guardiola, who had previously managed the Barcelona B team and was also the captain during the 90s. Pep’s debut season as the manager turned out to be truly historic. He led the team to an extraordinary treble. In La Liga, they dominated the competition, winning the league by a margin of 9 points and boasting an impressive goal difference of +70.
The club’s success didn’t stop there. In the Champions League, they faced Manchester United and delivered an iconic performance, securing a 2-0 victory. In the Copa Del Rey, they triumphed over Athletic Bilbao with a convincing 4-1 scoreline. The attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto’o, and Thierry Henry was in scintillating form throughout the season. Collectively, they managed to score an astonishing 100 goals, underlining their prowess and the team’s attacking strength.
2009-2010 Barcelona jersey
In the 2009/10 season, Nike and Barcelona opted for a home jersey design that harked back to the 2005/06 season, with thinner red and blue stripes. The away jersey, however, took a bold step away from convention. Instead of the typical orange, it had a pinkish-orange base color. This particular away jersey was quite unique in Barcelona’s history, as it was one of the first to not incorporate the home colors anywhere on the shirt, except for the club crest. Additionally, the club created a special edition shirt for the Joan Gamper trophy, a pre-season tournament they host. This commemorative shirt, in honor of the club’s 110th anniversary, was a dark blue with a red, orange, and light blue stripe running down the center.
Under Pep’s leadership, Barcelona maintained their domestic dominance. They claimed another La Liga title, losing only a single game throughout the season and finishing three points ahead of Real Madrid. There was a significant transfer activity as the club made a swap with Inter Milan, parting ways with star striker Eto’o and acquiring Zlatan Ibrahimović in return. Ironically, Barcelona’s Champions League campaign was cut short in the semi-finals by Eto’o and Inter Milan. Lionel Messi had a remarkable season, being named the world’s best player for the first time as he won the Ballon d’Or. He also went on to score an impressive 47 goals in all competitions, further solidifying his status as one of the game’s greatest talents.
2010-2011 Barcelona jersey
In the 2010/11 season, the Barcelona home jersey embraced the more conventional and thicker stripes, which had become a characteristic that fans had come to anticipate and associate with the Barcelona Home Jersey. Meanwhile, the away shirt was a distinct teal color. This choice of color was inspired by the Kappa Jerseys from the 90s. True to the club’s tradition, the home colors were prominently displayed across the chest of the away jersey.
Once again, it was a season filled with triumphs and trophies for Pep and his squad. In La Liga, Barcelona outperformed a formidable Real Madrid side, securing the title with a 4-point lead. Lionel Messi was the driving force, netting 31 goals in the league and an outstanding 53 goals in all competitions. The club’s success continued in the Champions League, where they faced Manchester United in the final. Lionel Messi delivered one of the most remarkable performances of the competition, steering Barcelona to yet another prestigious trophy, further solidifying their status as a dominant force in European football.
2011-2012 Barcelona jersey
In the 2011/12 season, Barcelona’s jerseys underwent a significant change. For the first time in the club’s 110-year history, a paid shirt sponsor was introduced. This move disappointed many Barcelona purists who had long admired the club’s resistance to large financial sponsorships. That season, the Qatar Foundation logo was prominently displayed on the front of all jerseys. The home jersey boasted a unique design, incorporating both thin and thick red and blue stripes, creating a distinct visual appeal. The away jersey, on the other hand, was an elegant all-black shirt with tasteful yellow accents, exuding a sense of class.
Barcelona continued to showcase outstanding football skills on the pitch. Lionel Messi, in particular, was in a league of his own, scoring an astonishing 73 goals across all competitions. However, the season wasn’t without its setbacks. In La Liga, Barcelona came up short, finishing 9 points behind a record-breaking Real Madrid side. Their Champions League campaign also ended in disappointment as they were knocked out in the semi-finals by a stoppage-time goal from Fernando Torres. Despite these losses, the season concluded on a positive note. Barcelona triumphed over Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final, providing a fitting send-off for Pep Guardiola.
2012-2013 Barcelona jersey
In the 2012/13 season, the Barcelona home jersey underwent what was arguably the most radical transformation in its history. The traditional stripes that had long been a hallmark of the home jersey were absent. Instead, it featured a dark blue base, with a single red stripe running down the center. This red stripe was designed in such a way that it blended seamlessly into the dark blue base, creating a unique and eye-catching look.
The away jersey, too, was a bold departure from the norm. It was a vivid combination of bright orange and yellow, clearly paying homage to the away jerseys from the 90s.
The 2012/13 saw a new manager at Barcelona for the first time in 5 years, with Tito Vilanova taking over who worked as an assistant under Guardiola. Vilanova hit the ground running with Barcelona reclaiming the La Liga title and set the record of scoring in every single La Liga match for that season. Messi scored another 60 goals in all competitions.
2013-2014 Barcelona jersey
During the 2013/14 season, the red and blue stripes reappeared, signifying the Barcelona home jersey’s return to its traditional design. This home shirt also incorporated a thick yellow collar, reminiscent of the one seen in the 2010/11 season. The away jersey was also striped, making history by featuring multi-colored stripes in the colors of the Catalan flag for the very first time.
Tito Vilanova had stepped down from his position as head coach, and sadly, he later succumbed to cancer. This led to Gerardo Martino taking charge of the team. Barcelona’s season could be described as one of “almosts.” They failed to secure any major trophies, finishing second in the league, being runners-up in the Copa del Rey, and being eliminated from the Champions League in the quarter-finals.
2014-2015 Barcelona jersey
In the 2014/15 season, the Barcelona home jersey was designed with thicker red and blue stripes. A unique and symbolic addition was the Catalan flag incorporated into the V-neck collar, adding a touch of local pride and identity. The away jersey presented a bright orangey-red hue, which was intended as a homage to the club’s renowned La Masia academy. The third kit, meanwhile, had a lime green color, reminiscent of the 2006/07 season’s design.
Luis Enrique took over as the manager, guiding Barcelona to one of the most triumphant seasons in the club’s illustrious history. With the addition of Luis Suarez to the front line, joining forces with Messi and Neymar, the attacking trio proved to be an unstoppable force. They amassed a staggering 122 goals across all competitions. The team’s performance was dominant, clinching La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League, etching their names in the annals of football history.
2015-2016 Barcelona jersey
In the 2015/16 season, Nike introduced a significant alteration to Barcelona’s jersey design. Instead of the customary stripes, they opted for a red and blue hooped pattern. The away jersey was a bright yellow, with an interesting detail of red stripes on the back, closely resembling the Catalan stripes from the 13/14 season. The third kit had a light blue shade, complemented by black trimming, giving it a sleek and modern look.
Under the guidance of Luis Enrique, the club achieved remarkable success. In his first two seasons at the helm, he led Barcelona to back-to-back titles. In the league, they narrowly edged out Real Madrid by a single point. However, their Champions League journey was somewhat underwhelming, as they were eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals. Despite this setback, the team managed to claim the Copa del Rey, further establishing Barcelona as one of the most formidable forces in world football.
2016-2017 Barcelona jersey
For the 2016/17 season, the Barcelona jersey took on a retro aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the Meyba Jersey of the 1991/92 season, during which the club achieved victory in the European Cup. The away jersey presented a distinct dark purple design, enhanced by fluorescent pink accents, creating a bold and eye-catching appearance. Meanwhile, the third jersey was a teal color, harking back to the styles of the 90s.
Luis Enrique entered his final season in charge in 2016/17, following a highly prosperous tenure as the manager. However, the team did not manage to attain the same level of success as in previous seasons. In the league, they concluded the campaign in second place, trailing Real Madrid by three points. In the Champions League, Barcelona faced defeat at the hands of Juventus in the quarter-finals. Nevertheless, they did manage to secure one trophy, triumphing in the Copa del Rey.
2017-2018 Barcelona jersey
In the design of the jerseys, Nike added a distinctive touch to the traditional red and blue stripes by introducing a faded stripe design. The away jersey was a light blue, reminiscent of the away jerseys from the 90s and bearing a resemblance to the one used in the 2007/08 season. The third shirt had a maroon color that set it apart, with a geometrical pattern adorning the front. Rakuten, a Japanese e-commerce firm, became Barcelona’s front shirt sponsor, sealing one of the most significant sponsorship agreements in the football world.
Ernesto Valverde stepped in to replace Luis Enrique and continued the club’s winning ways without missing a stride. Barcelona had an outstanding season, clinching the league title with a 14-point lead and suffering only a single defeat. The club achieved a domestic double, also winning the Copa del Rey, with star player Lionel Messi leading the charge.
2018-2019 Barcelona jersey
During the 2018/19 season, Nike crafted the Barcelona home jersey with a unique and meaningful design. The blue-based jersey incorporated 10 thin red stripes, each of which was symbolic, representing one of the Barcelona districts. This added a local and community touch to the jersey. The away jersey was a vibrant lime green, and it was interesting to note that the design of the 2005/06 jersey had served as inspiration for several jerseys in the preceding years. The third shirt, on the other hand, was a soft light pink, and its design was based on an aerial perspective of Barcelona’s Eixample district, giving it a distinct and local flavor.
Under the management of Valverde, Barcelona continued its winning streak. They dominated the league, finishing a remarkable 19 points ahead of their fierce rivals, Real Madrid. The club also reached the Copa del Rey Final, although they unfortunately succumbed to Valencia in that encounter. In the Champions League, Barcelona seemed well-positioned to reach the final. After the first leg, they held a commanding 3-0 lead against Liverpool. However, the second leg was a dramatic turn of events. Liverpool managed to stage a stunning comeback, winning 4-0 and completing one of the most astonishing upsets in the history of the Champions League.
2019-2020 Barcelona jersey
In the 2019/20 season, the jerseys presented a diverse range of styles. The home jersey underwent a redesign with a checked pattern, which unfortunately did not meet with much approval from the fans. The away jersey, however, paid homage to the 80s Meyba away jerseys. It had a yellow base and was adorned with two blue and red stripes, giving it a retro charm. The third kit emerged as one of the more popular ones for the season. It was a teal-colored jersey, inspired by the Kappa Jerseys of the 90s. This jersey also boasted the classic Nike logo, adding to its appeal.
Valverde’s tenure only extended until January of this season, at which point he was replaced by Quique Setién. Barcelona had made significant investments in the transfer market, bringing in Frenkie De Jong and Antoine Griezmann. Despite these acquisitions, they finished second in the league, trailing behind Real Madrid. The club endured a humiliating experience in the Champions League, suffering a crushing 8-2 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. Their disappointment continued in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals as well, where they were defeated by Bilbao.
