Ajax, Barcelona, Chelsea & More: Sand Soccer Jerseys Of 22-23 Season
The new away/third kits of several big teams feature a sand golden main color - AFC Ajax, FC Barcelona, and Chelsea FC. This evokes memories of the kits of the 2000s, when many teams had sand golden kits.
In terms of the exact shade of color, each kit is a bit different. Those of Adidas x Ajax ("Savann") and Nike x Chelsea (Sesame) are very sandy, Barcelona's is a true gold ('Club Gold'), while Club America's kit is more a light yellow (Lemon Chiffon).
