Five unforgettable FC Barcelona's jerseys A trip between sponsors, colours and beautiful patterns of the Catalan club's history
On the FC Barcelona shirts, the entire centenarian tradition of the Catalan club is imprinted. Legend says that the Blaugrana colors were chosen by the founder Hans Gamper inspired by those of Basel, the last club where he played before arriving in Barcelona to found what would become one of the most important clubs in the history of football. The sponsors change - only three over time: Meyba, Kappa and Nike, uninterruptedly since 1998 - but since 1900 the Barça shirt has been renewed from season to season, using blue and garnet colors in different ways. Vertical and horizontal stripes, transversal sash and new patterns concerning the home kit, while for away games the Catalans wore (almost) everything: highlighter yellow, aqua green, black, light-blue and orange. On the other hand, fantasy has always been one of the characteristics that has characterized the whole Barça universe, both on and off the pitch. And so we decided to pay tribute to five suggestive and untraditional jerseys that made the history of Barcelona, absolutely impossible to forget both for their beauty and for the champions who wore it.
