FC Barcelona 18-19 Home Kit Released
May 19, 2018, by Pat
Barcelona and Nike just unveiled the new Barcelona 18-19 home kit with an event at the iconic 1992 Olympic swimming facilities of Montjuïc. Barca will debut their new kit in the last match of the season against Deportivo, which will also be Andrés Iniesta's final appearance for the club. The new Barcelona home jersey will be available to buy from May 21.
Produced by Nike, the Barcelona 2018-2019 home shirt introduces a new look with thin blue and red stripes. In fact, there are exactly 10 red stripes on the blue background, each one representing one Barcelona district: Les Corts, Sants-Montjuïc, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, La Barceloneta, Sant Martí, Ciutat Vella, Gràcia, Horta-Guinardó, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu.
“Barcelona is a place where the football club is absolutely fundamental to people’s lives,” explains Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director. “Iniesta is an icon and a hero to the people who live in those districts, so I think it’s very apt he will get to wear the new kit for his final game for the club.”

The Barcelona 18-19 kit drops this year's fading stripes design in favor of regular stripes which are much thinner than usual. Apart from the striping, Barcelona's 2018-19 shirt has the the same colors as this season's and once again uses gold for the Swoosh and white for the sponsor logos.
The collar of the Barcelona 2018-2019 jersey is navy with a Catalan flag detail at the back, while the sleeves continue to be solid blue just like in the last few years.
Template-wise, the Barcelona 2018-2019 home kit is based on the same as Nike's World Cup kits. The next generation of Nike Aeroswift, the template of the Barcelona 18-19 jersey introduces new knit pattern and a lighter overall construction.
Finally, dark navy shorts and socks complete the Barcelona 18-19 home kit. It's a clever little nod to Nike's first two seasons at the club. The brand took over from Kappa in 1998, which will have been exactly 20 years ago next summer.
The Barcelona 18-19 kit will be available to buy from May 21.

Brusque 2026 Pink October Kit Released
Brazilian club Brusque FC and kit manufacturer Junpe have officially unveiled a special commemorative jersey for Outubro Rosa (Pink October). Designed to raise awareness for breast cancer prevention and encourage women's health checkups, the release continues the club's tradition of dedicated awareness kits for the month of October.
The shirt combines two tones of pink, featuring an eye-catching chevron graphic across the chest over an intricate sublimated fabric texture. Bold black detailing provides strong contrast on the thick ribbed V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, as well as on all sponsor prints and the Junpe manufacturer logo. The club's traditional yellow, green, and red crest sits in full color on the left breast, topped by three stars.
A bespoke circular seal appears on the lower front with the campaign motto "Jogue pela vida! Cuide de você - Um toque pode virar o jogo" (Play for life! Take care of yourself - One touch can turn the game around), drawing a direct parallel between the sport and the importance of self-examination. The limited-edition jersey is sold through the club's official retail space next to the Augusto Bauer stadium.
Stunning Kashima Antlers 26-27 35th Anniversary Kit Released
Kashima Antlers and Nike have officially released a special 35th anniversary kit to celebrate the founding of the iconic J1 League side on October 1, 1991. The release also pays homage to Brazilian football legend Zico, whose spirit and influence remain foundational to the identity and DNA of the Ibaraki-based club.
The Nike Kashima Antlers 26-27 35th anniversary shirt boasts an elegant two-tone dark navy half-and-half design inspired by the night scenery of Kashima Bay. Breaking away from the club's standard colors, the kit applies full gold detailing throughout, highlighted by the club's first-ever matte gold crest featuring a commemorative 1991/2026 engraving. All sponsor marks, the Nike Swoosh, and the sleeve badge are finished in matching metallic gold.
Navy shorts and socks with gold accents round off the sophisticated look. Fans can customize the kit with gold printing in either Nike's current 26-27 squad font or a recreated version of the club's original 1990s founding-era typography, with Zico's legendary number 10 among the selections. Kashima Antlers are scheduled to wear the special uniform on December 19, 2026, against Tokyo Verdy at MUFG Stadium (Japan National Stadium).
