FC Barcelona 16-17 Kit Returns to Vertical Stripes
Jun 22, 2015, by Chris
The new FC Barcelona 2016-2017 Home Kit will return to the traditional vertical stripes design after this season's home shirt introduced totally new horizontal stripes.
Even though the pre-season preparations for the 2015-16 La Liga campaign have not started yet, Spanish newspaper Sport reported today that the new FC Barcelona 16-17 Jersey will feature the iconic vertical Blaugrana stripes.
FC Barcelona 16-17 Kit Will Feature Vertical Stripes
Barça's 2015-16 Kit introduced radical new horizontal stripes.
Usually, the US-giant Nike presents the kits to Barcelona's board 10-12 months ahead of the launch. Due to Barcelona's presidential elections on July 18, Nike already submitted the designs of the new Barça 16-17 Shirts three weeks ago. Sport reports that the board has approved the kit, while the kit features no main sponsor yet as the contract with Qatar Airways expires.
Most importantly, the new FC Barcelona 2016-2017 Kit returns to the iconic vertical stripes. Additionally, Barça's new kit won't feature the Catalan flag on the collar and the back of the neckline.
It is due to Barcelona's recent achievements that Nike decided that the new Barcelona 16-17 Kit will feature a classic vertical stripes design and doesn't need a radical new look to boost sales as it was with previous shirts.
It's also very likely that the new FC Barcelona 2015-2016 Home Kit will return to the traditional blue shorts.
Back in vertical stripes. It's already certain that the new Barcelona 16-17 Kits will feature a classic design, although Barça hasn't debuted the hooped home kit yet.
