Barcelona Nike 20-21 'El Clásico' Fourth Jersey
This is the FC Barcelona 2020-2021 fourth football shirt, made by Nike.
The Nike FC Barcelona 20-21 Clásico football shirt introduces a unique design that's quite unusual - for the first time ever, the Blaugrana stripes and the Catalan flag are combined.
Predominantly blue, there are two red stripes on the front of the Nike Barcelona 2020-2021 fourth football shirt, fading into the five yellow and four red stripes on the Senyera towards the bottom.
A simple gold crew-neck collar and gold Nike and Rakuten logos round off the look of the Nike FC Barcelona 2020-2021 'Clásico' jersey. The Unicef logo on the lower back of the shirt is very small to fit in between the two stripes.
Blue shorts and socks are used for the Barcelona 2020-2021 fourth kit.
Similar to last season, the Barcelona 2020-21 fourth kit is set to be used exclusively in one "big" match - the Clásico in April.

Puma Kits Keep Ripping at the 2026 World Cup
Puma is facing significant criticism at the 2026 World Cup as multiple national team jerseys have easily ripped during matches.
Incidents involving players from Czechia, Morocco, Egypt, and Paraguay have highlighted an ongoing durability issue with the brand's latest kits - every torn shirt in the tournament so far belongs to a Puma-sponsored team.
The Puma 2026 World Cup kits incorporate the latest version of PUMA's ULTRAWEAVE “Thermoadapt” technology, which obviously is not tear-resistant enough.
The recurring wardrobe malfunctions have resulted in terrible PR for the German sportswear manufacturer and even prompted the viral resurgence of Xherdan Shaqiri's infamous quote from Euro 2016, where he joked that he hopes Puma does not produce condoms.
