Nike & Barcelona Drop 24/25 Home Shirt For Club's 125th Anniversary

Paying tribute to the first ever Barça kit from the year 1899, Nike launch the Barcelona 24/25 home kit, which sees the return of that iconic split design to celebrate the club’s 125 year anniversary.

2024 marks FC Barcelona’s 125th anniversary, and to mark that occasion, Nike have produced a shirt that’s inspired by the Club’s legacy, history and beginnings. For that, they’ve gone all the way back to the beginning and the first team kit from the year 1899, which was a 50/50 split of the iconic blaugrana colourings – a look that has been replicated several times throughout the club’s history, probably most notably on the centenary shirt from 1999.

Following very much in the footsteps of that centenary shirt from the 1999/00 season, the new home shirt sees the club crest taking up a central position on the chest. Unlike that centenary shirt though, the Swoosh branding stays on the right side of the chest, and, of course, there’s the presence of the Spotify sponsor logo in the centre, both of which take on some gold hues. Darker tones of navy then border the design on the collar and cuffs.

The kits for the FC Barcelona men’s and women’s teams for 2024/25 are made with Dri-FIT ADV, Nike’s highest quality for technical pieces. Thanks to the work done by the Nike Sport Research Lab (NSRL) and the data collected with advanced body mapping technology, the kits for this season bring agility, breathability and ventilation exactly where they are needed.
