2019/20 Club Soccer Kits

[Teal 956]

It begins...

Barcelona home.

 

I also have it on good authority that Barca away will be Yellow.

 

In more 19/20 kit news, Inter Milan away will be white/black with "Tropical Twist" (mint green) socks.

WTF IS THAT, DID NIKE RUN OUT OF IDEAS, BECAUSE THAT LOOKS LIKE THE CROATIAN KIT WITH A DIFFERENT SHADE OF BLUE AND PATCHES ON IT

[MJWalker45 4,465]

They do this from time to time to shake things up. Reportedly it's based on some of the flags that the fans wave at the Nou Camp.

Excatly this kit is based on flags not Croatia.

“Designed by Rakitic”

 

In all seriousness though, I think as a one-year-only thing it’s fine. I like variety every once in a while.

Barcelona's modernizing their crest for next year, too. Blessedly minimalist on the logo graphic explainer copy.

That looks like a concept, not something they would actually do. Plus, look at the top right - it has the actual current logo there.

It’s not a concept, the club announced the updated crest (which is still pending member approval) earlier today:

There’s also a new exclusive font that hasn’t been fully revealed yet, but can be seen below the crest in the image in that first tweet.

They've got a deal with Konami and now might look like generic team from PES. I hope it gonna be drop like Leeds United crest.

Here’s a great video showing their crest evolution:

I like this update. Losing the interior black is a huge improvement, as is shifting the ball up.  The thicker stroke on the ball makes it more legible at smaller sizes. 

 

I kind of hate to lose the letters, but when you’re that famous you don’t really need the initials.

It’s a very solid update, much cleaner and everyone recognizes the Barcelona crest without the FCB which could stand for loads of other clubs. My main gripe is that the red stripes would be a bit darker, after all they’re the blaugrana, not the blauvermell

[Digby 4,005]

Agreed with all of the above -- they've always been good about keeping the essence of their crest while staying updated for modern times and this is no different.

Inter are changing it up quite a bit next season:

[WBeltz 604]

I like when teams who have had such a classic design (like Barcelona) mix it up a bit, because you can only do so much with vertical stripes on a jersey, so I'm all for Inter Milan and Barca doing this.

[Teal 956]

Great news! Barca will be in teal in 19/20. "Cabana" will be Barca's third kit.

[upperV03 6,420]

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barça’s secondary kit next year will bring back the iconic yellow shirt with blaugrana sash from the late ‘70’s (though possibly with the direction of the sash flipped):

I hope they break up the sash for the sponsor logo, like they did with the vertical stripe on the ‘08-09 away shirt, but nonetheless this should be a fantastic and classic look for them.

[Teal 956]

Good to have confirmation about Barca being in yellow.

[Conrad. 2,081]

That 19/20 Barça road kit, if true (and if the sash is broken up for the sponsor), is an automatic buy for me. Beautiful.

Looks like MLS will be allowing sleeve sponsors starting the next league year (2019) via the Athletic.

Personally, it isn't something I'm too keen on, but it was bound to happen sooner or later, and money does talk. It'll be interesting to see how many teams jump on it immediately once the new season starts.
