New Barcelona kit: Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez help unveil new strip for 2020-21 season

Barcelona have officially launched their new kit for the 2020-21 season.

The strip sees the Catalan club return to their traditional red and blue vertical stripes after this term's chequered shirt, and also features a yellow collar reminiscent of the team's 2010-11 jersey.

"Today, FC Barcelona officially presents the new jersey for the 2020/21 season, whose design is inspired by the 1920s, considered the Club’s first Golden Era," the Catalans said on their website.

"This season, the jersey is recovering its traditional vertical stripes, but is including gold as a distinctive element. The ‘blaugrana’ stripes are bordered on each side by gold strips, which evoke the design of the Club crest that the team wore on their shirts throughout the 1920s.

"Another outstanding feature of the new design is the roundneck collar that also has a gold-coloured rim, while the Catalan ‘senyera’ flag appears on the back, just underneath. The full kit also includes blue shorts, with a vertical maroon stripe on the side, which also has a gold rim, and horizontally striped socks that imitate the shirt design."

The shirt and shorts were produced using 100% recycled polyester, obtained using recycled plastic bottles, Barca revealed.

Barcelona's new strip is on sale now in club shops in the Catalan capital and also via the club's online store.
