Barcelona's 2025-26 Home and Away Jerseys Leaked: Bold New Design Shocks Fans
The alleged new Barcelona home kit for the 2025-26 season will feature a more artistic interpretation of the club's iconic red and blue striped design.
Comprehensive photos of the Nike uniform, marking the first release under the extended partnership agreement confirmed in December 2024, have been revealed online through FootyHeadlines.
Every stripe, regardless of whether it begins as red or blue, will progressively transition into the contrasting color, creating a distinctive and modernized appearance. The club badge, which was positioned centrally during 2024-25, has been moved back to the player's left side.
Nike's signature swoosh appears in bright yellow for the first time since the 2020-21 campaign, departing from the gold and white versions used in recent seasons. Spotify's emblem, which has consistently matched Nike's logo color since debuting on jerseys in 2022-23, is also rendered in yellow. For the consecutive second year, the streaming platform's symbol will stand alone, without the accompanying Spotify text.
The official unveiling is anticipated for Wednesday, July 2.
Preview images of Barcelona's 2025-26 away kit have also emerged. The light gold jersey, while remaining under Nike's production, represents the first football shirt to showcase the late Kobe Bryant's Black Mamba emblem—through a collaboration similar to Paris Saint-Germain's arrangement with the Jordan brand.
Coinciding with the Lunar year of the snake, Nike has already declared 2025 as the Year of the Mamba, honoring Kobe while continuing his "dedication to excellence".
An anticipated release date in late July or early August will provide the new away jersey and Black Mamba logo significant exposure during Barcelona's summer tour across east Asia.
Through their partnership with Nike, Barcelona aims to expand retail operations, targeting consolidated revenue of €200 million ($230.5 million) annually from retail and licensing activities in the near future, with goals exceeding €300 million ($345.7 million) in the medium term.
