After a disappointing LaLiga campaign, Barcelona will look to mend their season in the Champions League with Napoli set to visit Camp Nou in early August. Ahead of the Barcelona vs Napoli clash, the Catalan giants unveiled their new away kit for next season. The home kit was introduced earlier in July.

The colours are within: Motto of Barcelona away kit 2020-21

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezman were among the stars sporting the new jersey in the photoshoot. The Barcelona away kit 2020-21 is based on the motto "The colours are within", with the club opting for a black jersey with gold detailing. The Barcelona away kit 2020-21 will be covered with black for the third time in the history of the club. In the 2011-12 season, the away kit was black in colour, while the same colour was used in the third kit in the 2013-14 season. 

This time around, the Barcelona away kit 2020-21 will bear logo imprints of gold, along with a similar coloured trim on the collar as well as the sleeves. Another striking feature is the club's logo which sees a surprising change. In the new kit, the club logo will be all-gold, shedding the multi-colour logo as seen in seasons so far. Similarly, the shorts will be all black, except for the Barcelona and Nike logo.

Recycled polyester material has been used in the making of the kits, which was obtained from recycled plastic bottles.
