FC Barcelona to Launch 26-27 Home Kit in Early July
FC Barcelona and Nike have officially agreed to schedule the launch of their 2026-2027 home kit for early July. According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the club made this strategic decision because the current 25-26 jerseys are still generating massive sales figures following a highly successful campaign.
Following the home release, the highly anticipated away kit is scheduled to launch in late July, just in time to debut during the squad's pre-season tour. This secondary strip will introduce a striking black and purple colorway and is confirmed to be released under Nike's special Kobe Bryant sub-label. The club's 26-27 wardrobe will then be completed in the second half of August with the official launch of a fresh turquoise green third kit.
While fans wait for the new collection, current shirt sales continue to soar at the official stadium store, with Lamine Yamal comfortably topping the charts ahead of departed club legend Robert Lewandowski.
Which of the three upcoming Barcelona 26-27 designs are you most excited to purchase? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Toronto Police Seize Record 16,000+ Counterfeit Shirts Worth CA$3.5M
Toronto police have carried out the largest seizure of counterfeit soccer jerseys in Canadian history, recovering more than 16,000 fake items with FIFA, Nike, Adidas and Puma branding, as well as flags and two counterfeit FIFA World Cup trophies. The haul has an estimated street value of CA$3.5 million and includes replicas of Team Canada, Argentina, Portugal and Croatia kits. Two suspects, 41-year-old Ramy Jaber and 62-year-old Walid Sarhan, were arrested after police acted on a tip about a Mississauga warehouse and executed a search warrant.
The pair allegedly supplied the fraudulent merchandise to retail stores through a legitimate trading company, with customers charged full price under the impression they were buying authentic products. Some NFL jerseys were also recovered in the operation.
