Nike FC Barcelona What The 20th Anniversary Jersey Released
Nov 21, 2018, by Pat
Nike today finally revealed the FC Barcelona Mashup shirt. It is officially dubbed the Nike FC Barcelona What The 20th Anniversary Jersey, set to be available from November 21 2018.
The limited-edition Barca 'mashup' jersey is similar to what the brand did for Arsenal before the Gunners left for Puma. The Nike FC Barcelona Mashup jersey will be not worn in an official match.
“This idea really came out of the blue," says Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director. "We wanted to do something different to celebrate the 20th anniversary. The main challenge was ensuring all the previous shirts were represented, but also that each one was carefully placed. We had to be mindful of the overall design, rather than just placing each one anywhere on the garment."

This image shows the FC Barcelona 2018 Mashup shirt.
The Nike FC Barcelona Mashup soccer jersey features elements of all Barcelona kits worn by the club over the last two decades.
Nine panels each on the front and back of the Barcelona 2018 Mashup shirt showcase the stripe designs of all Barcelona home shirts worn between 1998-99 and 2017-18. On the front, we can see the iconic collar of the 2014-15 shirt, with the 2008-09 halves just below it, containing the club crest. Then there's 2009-10, 2015-16, 2017-18, whilst on the back we can see 1998-00, 2012-13 and 2016-17 amongst others.
The right sleeve of the Barcelona 20 Years Mashup jersey is dedicated to the 2013-14 home shirt.
The swoosh and club crest sit inside the 2008-09 halves on the chest of the Nike FC Barcelona Mashup kit, with no sponsor logos present either on front or sleeves.
The authentic FC Barcelona mashup jersey comes with a special black / gold box. The official tag "20 Years - 20 Shirts" can be seen on the side.
The Nike FC Barcelona mashup jersey will be available from November 21 2018.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
