Barcelona Carries Over Kit Font for 7 Seasons in a Row
- Kit Font Continuity: FC Barcelona will use the same kit font for the seventh consecutive season in 2025-26, a highly unusual move for an elite club.
- Font Introduction: The FC Barcelona kit font was first introduced in the 2019-20 season when Lionel Messi was still a player for the club.
- Consistency vs. Change: Barcelona's long-term use of the same kit font creates a consistent visual identity, contrasting with the typical practice of top clubs who change fonts more frequently.
For the upcoming 2025-26 season, FC Barcelona will once again use the same kit font that has graced the back of their shirts for years. In a highly unusual move for an elite club, this will mark the seventh consecutive season that Barcelona has used this specific typeface.
Barcelona Carries Over Kit Font for 7 Seasons in a Row
The FC Barcelona 25-26 kit font was first introduced for the 2019-20 season, a time when club legend Lionel Messi was still leading the line for the Blaugrana.
Now, seven seasons later, the very same font will be worn by the club's new generation of stars, including Lamine Yamal, who will inherit Messi's number 10.
Barcelona's decision to stick with one kit font for seven years is a major outlier among Europe's top clubs. Most teams change their custom fonts every one, two, or at most, three seasons.
This is often done to refresh the overall look of the kit each year and to create a new aesthetic that matches the jersey's design. By retaining the same font for so long, Barcelona has created a consistent visual identity on the back of their shirts, for better or worse.
It remains to be seen if the 2026-27 season will finally bring a new typeface to the back of the Barcelona jersey.
What do you think of Barcelona using the same kit font for seven seasons in a row? Is it a sign of a strong identity, or is it time for a change? Let us know in the comments below.
