Nike Set to Upgrade Quality of Barcelona Kits for 2026-27 Season

  • Kit Upgrade: Nike plans to upgrade Barcelona's kits for the 2026-27 season due to player complaints about the 2025-26 kits.
  • Player Discomfort: Barcelona players experienced issues with sweat absorption, weight, and discomfort with the current Nike kits during the 2025-2026 pre-season.
  • Aero-FIT Technology: The new Nike 2026-2027 kits will incorporate Aero-FIT technology to improve airflow, cooling, and comfort, debuting in the 2026 World Cup.

Nike is planning a major upgrade to Barcelona’s kits for the 2026-27 season, following player complaints about the current 2025-26 kits, it is reported by Barcelona shirt insider @memorabilia1899. However, it is not only Barcelona’s kits that get an upgrade.

In the 2025-2026 pre-season, Barcelona players struggled with sweat absorption, weight, and discomfort during hot and humid pre-season tours, with key figures like Raphinha questioning why other Nike teams weren’t affected.
