Barcelona unveil new away kit for 2023/24 season.
Barcelona have revealed their Nike away kit for the 2023/24 season, with La Blaugrana set to don white shirts which are typically associated with arch-rivals Real Madrid.
Blue shorts and red-and-blue hoop socks will be worn with the contentious white shirts. The Nike logo and Spotify sponsor are both blue, and the jersey will also include red and blue trim.
Johan Cruyff, a club legend, wore white away jerseys for Barcelona during the 1970s, although the team hasn’t done so since Ipswich Town eliminated them from the 1978–1979 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup.
Barcelona was first said to be considering switching back to a white away shirt in 2022, which caused some controversy among fans due to associations with Real Madrid.
When Barcelona plays Arsenal in a preseason friendly on Wednesday night or Thursday morning, the new away uniform is anticipated to make its premiere.
As part of their respective preseason tours in the US, Xavi’s men face Mikel Arteta’s team in Los Angeles. A virus epidemic among the Barcelona team prompted the cancellation of the team’s opening match of the tour against Juventus on Sunday.
After that, Barça will play Real Madrid in Dallas and Milan in Las Vegas before going back to its home country of Catalonia to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Joan Gamper Trophy match. This will be their first game at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, their temporary home while Camp Nou is being renovated.
On August 13, Barcelona plays Getafe in their first La Liga game.
