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

Nike is planning a major upgrade to Barcelona’s kits for the 2026-27 season, following player complaints about the material of 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.
