May 14, 2026, by Chris
- Ranking Task: Drake Froomer ranked FC Barcelona's home kits from the last decade, covering Nike designs and various shirt styles.
- Bottom and Top Picks: The 2021-22 home kit is ranked last due to its controversial design, while the 2020-21 kit is favored for blending tradition and modernity.
- Top Three Kits: The top three kits are 2020-21, 2016-17, and 2024-25, with the 2020-21 kit standing out for its classic Blaugrana stripes and yellow pinstripes.
Our very own Drake Froomer (DMFroomer) took on the task of ranking the FC Barcelona home kits from the last decade. Looking back at the past ten years of Nike designs, the Catalan giants have worn a wide variety of shirts, ranging from deeply traditional vertical stripes to heavily experimental patterns. This countdown provides a look at the best and worst Blaugrana primary strips of recent memory, highlighting the distinct aesthetic eras of the club.
FC Barcelona 2015 - 2026 Home Kit Ranking
At the bottom of the pile, the highly controversial 21-22 home kit takes the unfortunate spot of dead last due to its jarring, crest-inspired structural graphics. Just ahead of it in tenth place sits the heavily polarizing checkerboard design from the 2019-20 campaign. On the opposite end of the spectrum, last season's 2024-25 half-and-half anniversary kit secured a very respectable third-place finish. Second place comes the 16-17 kit, launched 10 years ago.
Barcelona Top 3 Home Kits (2015-2026)
Claiming the number one spot as our absolute favorite Barcelona home shirt of the last decade is the 2020-21 release. This specific Nike design successfully blended tradition with a sharp modern edge, featuring classic wide Blaugrana stripes neatly separated by thin yellow pinstripes. The overall look was beautifully tied together by a matching yellow crew-neck collar, resulting in an instantly recognizable and incredibly clean football shirt.

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.
Dominik Szoboszlai Reveals Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool'
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has officially debuted the upcoming Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool', a special-edition release designed in partnership with JD Sports ahead of their annual 1.10 Day celebration. Deeply rooted in local street culture, where the model has long been nicknamed the '110' after its original UK retail price, the sneaker is packed with bespoke details paying tribute to Merseyside. The shoe features mismatched accents of dockland-inspired 'Rust Factor' orange alongside 'Steam' green referencing the city's Liver Birds, complemented by a reflective brick pattern, a River Mersey map printed across the insole, a custom 'Liverpool' tongue badge, and 'SCOUSE' lettering visible beneath the outsole.
