Special-Edition Nike FC Barcelona 1998-99 Remake Kit Released
Apr 10, 2019, by Chris
Update: The Nike Barcelona '98 remake shirt is now available to buy.
Following up on the unworn Mashup jersey last fall, Nike have launched a brand-new special-edition Barcelona kit.
Similar to the aforementioned Mashup effort, the Nike Barcelona 2019 El Clasico kit celebrates Nike and Barca's partnership with a retro-infused look, this time taking inspiration from the first-ever Nike FC Barcelona shirt from 1998.

FC Barcelona 2019 Special-Edition Kit
This is the Nike FC Barcelona 1998-99 remake football shirt.
The special-edition Nike FC Barcelona 1998 - 2019 remake jersey features Barca's classic colors, combined with a retro design and a more vibrant yellow Swoosh that's centered on the chest, just like on the 1998 kit. There's just one red and two blue stripes on the front of the FC Barcelona 2019 special-edition kit.
Based on the Vapor template, the Nike Barcelona El Clasico 2019 soccer jersey features the new roundel authenticity tag on the bottom left above the hem, whilst the sleeves red with a single blue stripe on the bottom. The sleeve cuffs are navy, as is the collar, which additionally boasts the Catalan flag on the back.
The FC Barcelona 2019 special-edition shirt will be available as authentic and replica version on 10 April 2019. It will retail at the same price as Nike's regular FC Barcelona kits (140 Euro for the authentic Vapor Match version, 90 Euro for the replica version). It will be relatively limited, similar to the Mashup shirt last year.
Initially planned to be worn in the Clasico, we will in the end not see the FC Barcelona Nike 98-99 remake soccer jersey make an appearance on the field.

Emiliano Martinez Takes Chelsea's Number 1 Shirt
Emi Martinez has officially switched from No. 26 to No. 1 at Chelsea after just one match. The Argentine goalkeeper wore No. 26 in Chelsea's 4-3 win over Brighton.
With Robert Sanchez joining Como on loan, the No. 1 shirt became available, allowing Martínez to make the switch. Chelsea is now the third professional club where Martinez has worn No. 1, following Getafe and Aston Villa.
In a nice gesture to supporters who had already purchased his previous shirt, Martinez will sign all official “Martinez 26” jerseys bought through Chelsea's Megastore or official website. Fans can bring their shirt and proof of purchase to Stamford Bridge before October 4.
Japan U20 Debuts All-White Away Kit Variant

Previously, Japan premiered the original ensemble (black shorts and white socks) in a friendly match against Scotland, followed by an all-black shorts and socks variant during their 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32 clash with Brazil.
Leicester City 26-27 Away Retro Collection Released
Expanding on their retro-inspired aesthetic for the season, Leicester City and Adidas have officially dropped a new lifestyle apparel collection under the Adidas Originals banner. Following the popular launch of their Trefoil away shirt earlier this summer, the latest range focuses on timeless club heritage infused with classic Three Stripes street style.
The standout piece of the collection is a royal blue long-sleeve jersey adorned with an intricate all-over diagonal jacquard pattern. Much like the 26-27 away kit, the piece prominently features the iconic Adidas Trefoil alongside Leicester's nostalgic 'Running Fox' crest, which famously adorned the club's shirts until 1992. Matching royal blue three stripes run down the shoulders and sleeves to complete the vintage look.
Alongside the long-sleeve shirt, the collection includes an archival blue t-shirt with a bold white chest stripe, classic track jackets, hoodies, and matching track pants. The full Leicester City x Adidas Originals range is available now at the club's official online store and the Foxes Fanstore at King Power Stadium.
