Which shirts will Lionel Messi be playing in next season, alongside his compatriot Sergio Aguero?
Barcelona kits are often iconic and they’ll be eager to make the 2021-22 offerings as memorable, even if only through what they do in them on the pitch.
Ever since the departure from the vertical blaugrana and brief adoption of horizontal stripes in 2015-16, Barca’s home kit has been a canvas for experimentation.
Their away and third kits have also seen some variance, though the colours of the Catalan Senyera – yellow and red – tend to feature strongly.
Barca fans will be eager to rekindle the glory days under the new tenure of past president Joan Laporta, but how will they look?
Barcelona 2021-22 home kit and release date
Nike continues as the Barcelona kit manufacturer and the brand officially revealed the Spanish side’s new home kit in June.
The design appears to be a rendering of the club crest, with a section on the top right of the torso mimicking the St George’s flag – Sant Jordi to Catalonians – while the left features thin vertical stripes.
Unusually, the kit features half-and-half shorts and socks, with one leg being blue and the other being garnet.
Such a daring design is actually consistent with the apparent alternation of styles, with experimentation followed by a more traditional vertical striped look.
Barca reverted to basic vertical stripes in 2020-21 after playing in a chequered kit in 2019-20.
Barcelona 2021-22 away kit and release date
The Barcelona away kit for 2021-22 was launched on July 15.
This season, the second kit for Barca is inspired by a desire to support women’s empowerment, with the colourway being a blend of blue and red – light purple.
The new jersey still sports the traditional blaugrana stripes on both sides, and the club logo has an iridescent effect, with numbers and the name at the back also highlighted in purple.
Interestingly, it has been suggested that one of the change kits could be orange, inspired by the kit worn by the 1992 European Cup-winning team. That final was won thanks to a Ronald Koeman free kick.
How much will they cost and where can they be bought?
The 2021-22 Barcelona kits will be available to buy from most high-street sports retail stores and online through the official Barca club shop.
Barcelona’s web store sells replica jerseys (home and away) for €89.99 and that remains the same for the 2021-22 jerseys.
