A look at the more than 100 kits that FC Barcelona has worn throughout its history

Nike. 1998-2019
Barça became a global brand and the shirt became a source of income. As a result, Nike created a new, radically different design, with bolder colours and designs. After a few years, the away kit was also changed every season and subsequently there were three kits. The material underwent rapid changes, with more elastic, lighter, breathable materials, while Barça wore the name of a sponsor for the first time in its history.
In 2015 the stripes were horizontal for the first time in the club’s history. This season Barça and Nike will unveil a new style of checked shirt, inspired by Barcelona’s Eixample district. The Catalan flag will be more visible, being worn on the front.
The pale pink shirt sported a drawing of the Eixample district and a diagonal stripe, in reference to the avenue which crosses the city from end to end, as a tribute to Barcelona.

A distinct third team was created. Up until then Barça had used the second team kit from previous years. It reused the black from two seasons earlier, though the back was of a darker shade. The polo neck had three buttons.
Barça issued a limited-edition kit of 1,899 units for the 2009 Gamper Cup. The shirt was blue with three vertical stripes and featured the MES logo: a charity project supported by the club, Acnur and Nike.
Nike chose a similar design to its 100th anniversary edition, with a half blue, half scarlet shirt. The Catalan flag was printed on the back of the collar, while the interior featured the Barça anthem and the team’s motto 'Més que un club' [More than a team].
During the 80s Barça wore a yellow shirt with a blue and scarlet stripe down the right side; this season’s kit was the same but with the stripe on the other side.

The shirt commemorating the club’s centenary, half blue and half scarlet, was inspired by Barça’s first well-known kit. Nike once more used a polo neck shirt, a design which they continued to use for several years.

Nike continued with Kappa’s orange, while changing the socks and the shorts. They also changed the direction of the stripe across the shirt, which became horizontal.
Kappa. 1992-1998
Kappa took over from Meyba, opting for designs which broke with the sober line which was typical up until the 90s. For the first time the blue and scarlet stripes were irregular and included certain white elements which created a degree of controversy at the time. The choice of designs was clearly motivated by commercial interests, in that they were increasingly different and were worn for shorter periods.

The shirt used for playing abroad featured five vertical stripes on the front, and the pattern on the sleeve was different from the first team.
Meyba. 1979-1992
Meyba, a Catalan firm, joined forces with Barça to introduce big changes in this respect by no longer making the clothes from cotton, which had been used up to then. The introduction of colour TV allowed Meyba to incorporate new designs in different shades and to move away from the custom of wearing a blue and scarlet kit when playing at home and a white kit when playing away.

After having played in a totally red shirt, Meyba decided to copy a design they had used before with blue and yellow: and a vertical blue and scarlet stripe.
A special edition after club had won its first European Cup. It was the first time orange was used. Barça used the same shirt with some slight variations in some of the qualifying rounds.

The design which introduced by Meyba featured five stripes down the front and a blue collar. It featured a pattern on the sleeves, something missing in earlier seasons. It also appeared on the shorts, some of which had pockets.
For four years, until their 1-4 defeat against Metz at Camp Nou in the UEFA Cup Winner’s Cup, Barça’s away kit consisted of a yellow shirt with a blue and scarlet stripe.
One of the shortest-lived designs was a plain yellow shirt, with no stripes and a pattern which only appeared on the sleeves. It was used after the yellow.
Meyba produced a design with a polo neck collar with two stripes, one blue, one scarlet. In the earlier editions, Meyba’s signature stripe was missing from the sleeves, as was the company logo.

Meyba’s debut led to changes in the manufacture and material used for the kit, although for the first few seasons the shirt did not feature the design on the sleeves which were typical of the Catalan company. The design of the socks changed after having remained unchanged for many years.
The white shirt was used until the start of the 80s, when Meyba decided to use new designs with different colours.
1940-1979
Shirts with wide stripes, blue shorts and striped socks became the norm during this period. The kits were still made of cotton. However, the cut was more suited to playing sport. Short-sleeved shirts were brought in at the start of the 1960s. Monthalt was awarded the contract to make the team’s kits in the period before Meyba took over. The fact that Barça had a second kit meant that the black and white TVs of the time were better able to tell the teams apart. In 1957 Barça wore the shortest-lived kit in its history.

At the end of 1974 the crest once again featured the club’s original initials: FCB. In a change from previous years, the shirt had a V-necked collar (without lapels). The short-sleeved shirts were used during the summer, and the shorts (much shorter) featured small pockets.
During the 1975-1976 season Barça used yellow for the first time. The shirt was used for several matches and featured a blue and scarlet diagonal stripe.
Although they used yellow in the 70s, they also continued to use the white kit, which was over 60 years old. This time, however, they sported the club’s crest.

To compete in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup from the 1957-1958 season the shirt was white with the city of Barcelona’s crest, instead of the club’s, as the competition was between cities and Barça represented the Catalan capital.
In a friendly match against Manchester City on 8 May 1957, Barça was forced to change their kit after the fans invaded the les Corts pitch: the shirt was white with a blue and scarlet stripe on the chest. The fans objected to the kit the players were wearing, forcing them to stop the game in order for them to change into their usual Barça shirt.

In 1949, on the occasion of the club’s 50th anniversary, the crest once again featured the four stripes of the Catalan flag. A lighter blue was used on the kit and the design of the socks continued to change until the blue and scarlet stripes of the same width became the norm.
“During the 40s, when Barça played teams wearing the same colours, such as Levante and Pontevedra, the players swapped their usual shirts for white ones."
1899-1940
There are different versions as to how the first blue and scarlet shirt came about. The most popular version of the story is that Hans Gamper used the same colours as Basilea, the team he played for before coming to Barcelona. Nevertheless, it is possible that Barça played its first matches in white. The design featuring vertical stripes began to take hold after 1910, with slight differences depending on who manufactured the shirts, and featured an early version of the current crest.

During the Franco dictatorship, the club was forced to change the acronyms of its coat of arms to CFB (Club de Fútbol Barcelona) instead of the anglicized FCB (Football Club Barcelona). Also, the four stripes of the Catalan flag were reduced to two. The shorts were shortened to make them more comfortable and blue and scarlet were added to the socks.

The stripes became wider, creating the classic image that was retained throughout the first half of the century. The blue stripe moved to the centre and came to be used on future kits. The shirt had a lace-up neck and the shorts continued to be white.
On 16 January 1910, Barça wore a shirt with vertical stripes for the first time, made from lightweight material instead of the flannel shirts worn during the early years. The kit was first seen on the pitch on Carrer Indústria in a match against FC Central. That same year, Barça held a competition to design its crest. It was won by Santiago Femenia. Since then the basic design has been preserved, with slight changes made throughout the years. The socks were completely different and the shorts were shortened in order to make them more comfortable.
The earliest photograph of Barça dates from 1900, in which it can already be seen that the kit was divided into two halves, with the scarlet and the blue in equal parts. It was made from a type of flannel which was impractical for playing sport, and which, according to advertisements of the time, was made at the Kneipp shirt factory on Carrer del Call.
Initially Barça wore the city of Barcelona’s crest and the shorts were held up by a belt.
From Zamora to Ter Stegen
Throughout the first 50 years of the club’s history, the Barça goalkeeper wore a turtleneck shirt. Ramallets used to wear a white polo neck, while the last three great goalkeepers in the club’s history had one thing in common: they wore green.
Ricardo Zamora, 'The Divine', only played for Barça for three years, but he was one of the most important figures in the first half of the century. Most people picture him wearing a tutleneck shirt in one colour, usually white.
The Hungarian Ferenc Plattko wore a polo or turtleneck shirt during the years he spent in Barcelona. There is a famous photo of him in his white collar, in contrast to the rest of his shirt.
Following the tradition set by his predecessors, the Aragonese Juan José Nogués, who was Barça’s goalkeeper during the 30s and early 40s, wore a turtleneck.
Salvador Sadurní wore different designs during the 15 seasons he played for Barça, but he particularly stood out because of his blue and black polo neck shirts, which sometimes had buttons.
Urruti’s most famous kit was the one he wore during the famous Valladolid penalty: Meyba’s blue socks, shorts and shirt, with a red stripe round the neck and shoulder.
Víctor Valdés was Barça’s goalkeeper during a time when the design changed constantly: nevertheless, the green shirt with black shorts is the kit which is associated with the Champions Cup Final in Paris.
Also dressed in green, Marc-André ter Stegen, though he often wore black and red, lifted the Berlin Champions
