Update: It has been revealed that it was Barcelona themselves that want to wear black shorts and socks. According to Mundo Deportivo journalist Fernando Polo (@ffpolo), Barcelona had modified their third kit color combination from green shorts & socks to black shorts & socks because neither the players liked the initial combination, nor the club’s business area.

Moroccan Botola Pro side FUS Rabat has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, manufactured by Spanish brand Joma. The capital club steps into the new campaign with a coordinated and sharp visual identity across both strips.

Inverting the look, the 26-27 away shirt relies on a clean white base centered around a bold red vertical stripe and matching red accents.
