LEAKED: FC Barcelona’s Home Kit for 2024/25 Season

The classic Red & Blue shades of FC Barcelona need no introduction. After all, this color combo is the reason why the club has been named the “Blau-Grana”. To everyone’s surprise, the official home jersey for the 2024/25 season has been leaked. This version looks quite different from the current home kit, interestingly, while still managing to remain true to the Blau Grana roots.

Fcbarcelonacollection leaked the render for Barcelona’s home jersey for the next season. Four different color schemes are used- deep royal blue, midnight navy, noble red, and club gold. The Gold is used in the Spotify Logo and for the Nike one. This is in contrast to the current home kit, which uses a plain white color for the Spotify logo. Another noticeable change is the positioning of the Barcelona Logo. This time, it seems they have kept in on the center, unlike 23/24 where it is on the left.

Also, the current home kit features red & blue strips in tandem. The upcoming kit seems to have taken a more minimalistic approach by segmenting the shirt into red & blue halves. It is likewise for the arms as well with the Red Half getting blue arm and vice versa.

Nike first started doing Barca kits in 1998. Since then, the Sports giant & Barcelona have had a successful partnership which even saw Nike handing out a record sponsorship deal in 2016. But, the collaboration could come to an end with Barcelona reported to have an agreement with Nike’s biggest rival.

FC Barcelona could end 26-year-old Nike partnership for ‘record-breaking’ Puma deal

Things have been tough lately for Nike. After losing Tiger Woods, they could be without Barcelona. The major reason is money. FC Barcelona currently earn around $114 million a year from Nike which could jump to $169 million, including variables. Although a lucrative deal, enter Puma with an even better one. Puma, who also happen to be Man City’s sponsor has offered the Catalan club $124.5 million in a fixed amount as per SPORT. This could amount to a staggering $216 million with incentives, which in turn makes it the most lucrative sponsorship deal in soccer history! Barcelona, have no doubts regarding which is the better deal.

Yet, there is a stumbling block along the way. Nike’s current deal runs through 2028. If FC Barcelona walks out of the deal soon, then Nike could be hit with losses of around $378 million. Hence, the current sponsors have no intentions of walking out with compensation. Puma on the other hand, will not be agreeing to any contract, unless Nike is out of the picture. In fact, they are even willing to offer a bonus to Barcelona to do so. The Spanish giants have a big decision on their hands. Will they continue with Nike? Or is a new era with Puma on the cards?
