:doh: Same as last season, black away kit, black third/European. Once again a third kit that I love and a rather average away kit. It will probaly grow on me though.

And speaking of french teams, I'm wondering whether PSG will go back to their classic kit design, considering this season's kit wasn't particularly popular with the fans. It was fancy though, but that red stripe&white outlines was one of my favorite kit designs ever.

Fly Emirates = too close to Arsenal for me.

Loved how Barça away kits in the 1990s were quite often orange in homage to the Netherlands ones, until Nike took over and started doing random flashy s*** every season (gotta say that apart from that our 1990s kits were usually awful).

 

 

Of all the kits in football, I hate Barcelona's the most. Red and blue in the pattern its in is really ugly imo anyway.

 

Doesn't help that many of the grocery store employees who I'm guessing are Illegals wear them while they work.

 

I love it because it's very unique. We almost never had to wear an away kit until it became trendy to boost sales, or Levante got promoted.

 

Despite that, the kit is actually copied from another team:

Where our Swiss founder played before coming to Barcelona.

 

VI, I thought the Barca colours came from Merchant Taylors which is a private school near Liverpool

 

from the Wiki:

 

The Witty brothers; Arthur Witty, played for FC Barcelona in the first Copa del Rey final and later served as club president between 1903 and 1905. Ernest Witty, younger brother of above, also played for FC Barcelona, and was also a founding member of the Real Club de Tenis de Barcelona and a Spanish national tennis champion. Legend has it that the Witty brothers also modelled the legendary Barcelona colours, the blaugrana, after the original colours used by Merchant Taylors' rugby team. However, FC Basel - and other Swiss clubs that the club founder Joan Gamper played for - and his home canton of Zürich have also been credited with and/or claimed to be the inspiration.

Well, that wiki snip you posted also credits the FC Basel story. I have only heard the Merchant Taylors story from English sources, which makes me a bit wary of it (in the same way I have only seen English sources giving credit to London club Corinthians for the Real Madrid kits). The Basel one is the most accepted in Barcelona, and the one that makes the most sense to me since Gamper was who created and organized the team and the first Barça strips were exactly like the Basel one (halved, not stripped, the image I posted was a slight variation in Basel's traditional kit).

 

I'm gonna check something, the colors of the club were established in the fundational charter, and I'm not 100% the Wittys were in it yet.

 

EDIT: Aye, the Witty brothers joined the club later, and we already had those colors. As said, I just think this was originated by some Anglo-centric footie historian, can tell you this story has never had any traction in Spain.

 

This site is awfully designed, but it's the best online source for FC Barcelona history (in Spanish): http://www.webdelcule.com/varios/hiba.html

 

Oh, and not trying to diminish the Wittys involvement in our early history, by the way.

:thup:

 

It's a bit of a popular story around here so I've just always thought that it was the true history of the colours.

Wow that really is an atrociously s*** shirt.

 

If a random person came up to me in the street and offered me that or a bag of poo. I would genuinely pick the bag of poo.

 

The age old decision eh?

The whole new range of Puma stuff is meant to look like boxing stuff on purpose.

I believe that is a photoshop of an atletico shirt

 

Atlético's stripes are arranged differently. I admit the photo looks bad, but it's blown up from a low-res original.

 

It is printed in Sport's newspaper edition of today, pretty sure they would haven't run it without confirmation from Nike or Barça, since it also includes a detailed description of shorts, socks and away shirt. They will look damn silly if it's a fake since it will be officially unveiled in few days.
