CHECKBOARD REPLACES TRADITIONAL STRIPES
For 2019-20, the Blaugrana deviate from its traditional striped home jerseys. Instead, it will debut a checkboard print inspired by the gridded streetscape of Barcelona’s Eixample district.
The neighbourhood pulses with creativity, and its residents are acknowledged as the building blocks of the city’s future.

In 2015-16, Barcelona’s kit swapped its traditional stripes for hoops. The checkboard design is only the second shift from the club’s norm and provides a fresh interpretation of Barca’s world-famous colours.

The 2019-20 Barcelona Home Kit includes blue shorts and blue socks topped with a red trim. The jersey’s V-neck collar is decorated by the stripes of the Catalan flag.
