Barça will not be able to wear a new kit in their LaLiga debut: they will play in last season's green kit.
Hi community!
Hansi Flick's team will not be able to wear either the blue and red jersey or Kobe Bryant's gold one, as the black shorts could lead to confusion with those of the 'vermillion' team.
The countdown is dwindling. FC Barcelona debuts this afternoon at Son Moix against Mallorca (7:30 PM / Movistar LaLiga), and more and more details about the match are emerging. With Rashford and Joan García now confirmed, but without Szczesny, Gerard Martín, and Roony Bardhji, the Catalans made another surprising announcement in the run-up to the match.
In the build-up to the match, Barça's social media revealed that Barça will be playing in last season's third jersey, which was green. Mallorca, which wears a red shirt with black details, will be playing in the main jersey, so the Catalans will have to adapt their kit to avoid confusion between the colors, preventing them from displaying the blue and red and the gold. Kobe's design for the shorts could cause confusion with the "vermillion" team's, as both are black.
It's surprising that Barça can't debut either of the two available designs, but it's nothing new. Last year, in the Valencia-Barça matchday 1, the Blaugrana team played with the 'senyera' kit at Mestalla. A move that seems more symbolic, since last season's Blaugrana or black shirts didn't give rise to confusion with the white 'ché'.
See You soon!
