"When Will We Get the Commission?" Kappa Claim Nike Stole Barcelona 19-20 Kit Design
In a a bit of Twitter banter, Kappa Spain just reacted to the leak of the Barcelona 19-20 fourth kit by Nike, claiming that it uses a design of their creation.
The picture shared by Kappa puts the leaked Barcelona shirt next to the Kappa-produced shirt of Catalan rugby team Unió Esportiva Santboiana, which does feature a relatively similar look. The captain reads "When do we get the commission?"

As written before, it's likely just a bit of banter and Kappa will not actually ask for a commission from Nike. There's a bit of truth to Kappa's statement, however, as both shirts have a very similar theme.

The Barcelona 2019-2020 fourth kit is set to be launched in October 2019 and will be worn for the away games at Atlético and Real Madrid, as per the leaked information.
