Exclusive: FC Barcelona 27-28 Away Kit to Be Pure Lakers Tribute

Footy Headlines can exclusively leak that FC Barcelona's away kit for the 2027-28 season will pay direct homage to the Los Angeles Lakers, featuring a yellow and purple color scheme.

Following the first two modern Nike x Kobe Bryant Mamba kits, Nike and Barcelona are taking the basketball inspiration to the forefront. Rather than subtle tones, the 2027-28 release will embrace an unmistakable "pure Lakers" aesthetic.

The Nike FC Barcelona 27-28 away jersey will be dominated by a vivid yellow main color paired with purple trim and detailing. While the exact graphic elements and layout remain under wraps, the iconic purple and gold combination famously associated with the Showtime Lakers and the late Kobe Bryant will serve as the complete aesthetic foundation for the kit.

Yellow and purple are both familiar colors in Barcelona's shirt history, but have not been combined yet. The Catalan club has enjoyed some of its most iconic European nights wearing bright yellow away kits, while shades of purple were prominently used in both the 2016-17 and 2021-22 seasons. Merging the two colors into a direct NBA crossover is set to create one of the most talked-about releases of the 2027-28 campaign.

The Nike FC Barcelona 2027-2028 away shirt is scheduled to hit shelves in July or August 2027.
