The new Barcelona kit sees the club move back to its traditional stripes design after last year’s controversial kit.

The club revealed more information about the new kit on its official website. Talking about the Barcelona home kit 2020-2021, the club revealed that the jersey’s design has been inspired by the 1920s, which is regarded to be the club’s first Golden Era. The club’s crest has been designed in a way that pays homage to the shirt’s worn by Barcelona players during that period. Another new feature of the Barcelona home kit 2020-2021 is the round neck collar that features a gold-coloured rim, with the Catalan ‘Senyera’ flag appearing at the back of the collar.

While announcing the new kit, the club also made a reference to its fans, revealing that the kit is only for Culers. The term Culers is famously used to refer to Barcelona fans. Several fans reacted to the new Barcelona kit. Some expressed their satisfaction at seeing Lionel Messi in the new kit, while others said that they liked the gold collar on the jersey. The new Barcelona home kit, however, got seeped in controversy even before its launch. Kit manufacturer Nike had to withdraw the kit from its stores after it was found out that the kit was losing its colour when it came in contact with sweat or when it was washed.
