Barcelona and their devoted fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of the club’s 2024-25 away kit. Despite already playing two away games in LaLiga this season, the team had to resort to wearing last season’s yellow fourth alternate kit for their first match under new coach Hansi Flick. Finally, ahead of the Catalan derby at Girona on Sept. 15, Barcelona unveiled their latest away kit.
This year’s away kit marks only the fourth time in Barcelona’s history that they have donned a black kit. The new design features a stripped-back look, with the club crest and Nike swoosh blacked out and given an iridescent blue and red sheen. The asymmetrical placement of the famous blaugrana stripes adds a touch of modernity to the traditional design. Additionally, as part of Barcelona’s 125th birthday celebrations, a special anniversary scroll logo is printed inside the shirt.
While the new away kit may be visually striking, history has shown that success does not always follow when Barcelona dons black. In past seasons where Barcelona wore black kits, they have only managed to secure domestic cup titles, such as the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup. LaLiga and Champions League titles have eluded them when wearing black. Will the 2024-25 season break this pattern and bring Barcelona success in their stealthy new away kit?
The Barcelona away kit for the 2024-25 season brings a fresh and sleek design to the team’s wardrobe. With a unique black color scheme and iridescent accents, the kit captures the essence of Barcelona’s rich history while looking towards the future. As fans eagerly await the team’s performances in this new kit, only time will tell if it will be a lucky charm for success in the upcoming season.
