Barcelona Denies Leaked 24-25 Away Kit
Jan 8, 2024, by Chris
- Kit Denial: FC Barcelona has officially denied the leaked design for their 2024-25 away kit.
- Nike Design: The leaked design is confirmed to be a real Nike design, but it was not approved by Barcelona.
- Club-Nike Crisis: The denial is likely due to a growing crisis between Barcelona and Nike, with the club missing order slots.
In a very uncommon move, FC Barcelona has officially denied last weekend's leaked 24-25 away kit.
Actual Nike Design, But Not Approved by the Club?
In an official press statement published on the club's website this evening, the club says that the design for the second kit for the 2024-25 season has "neither been approved nor ordered by the club". It is in the details here - Barcelona did not say the design is wrong.
The design is real, but Barça apparently does not want to approve it
Instead, Footy Headlines has information that the design leaked by @esvaphane is real. It's what Nike intended for the club but Barça apparently doesn't want to approve it.
The crisis between Barcelona and Nike has reached a new level with Barça's announcement
Indeed, the denial of the leaked kit is likely due to Barcelona's ongoing relationship crisis with Nike. According to Foot Mercato, the club has yet to place orders for next season. "The point of no return was reached when Barça missed two order slots".

Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.
Black & Gold Liverpool 26-27 Lifestyle Shirt Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom
QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.
The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.
From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.
