- Inspiration and Popularity: The article suggests San Lorenzo may have drawn inspiration from Barcelona's popular away kit, possibly aiming to replicate its aesthetic appeal.
San Lorenzo has unveiled their 2025-26 third kit, and the similarities to Barcelona's previous away shirt are impossible to ignore. Both clubs have opted for near-identical black base colors with subtle tonal patterns and matching red-blue gradient elements around their respective crests.
San Lorenzo 25-26 Third Kit
Check out Nike's Barcelona 2024-2025 away shirt and Atomik's San Lorenzo de Almagro 2025-2026 third shirt below.
The Atomik San Lorenzo de Almagro 2025-26 third jersey features a black base with a subtle pattern of circles, lines and crows surrounding the central crest. Most notably, both the San Lorenzo badge and Barcelona's crest are framed by the same red-to-blue gradient border treatment, creating an almost carbon-copy aesthetic approach.
In contrast to Barcelona's plain design, San Lorenzo's shirt incorporates club-specific imagery including crows - a nod to their "Cuervos" nickname.
Whether this represents a case of parallel design thinking or direct inspiration is unclear, but the timing suggests San Lorenzo may have taken cues from Barcelona's well-received away kit. Nike's design for Barcelona has been popular among fans, making it an understandable reference point for other clubs looking to capture a similar aesthetic.
