Barça recently unveiled the new season’s away kit. As a fan who has lived in Barcelona for many years, I must say the design of this season’s Barcelona away kit is a real eye-catcher. Today, I’d like to discuss some details about this jersey and share my experiences buying it locally in Spain.
Design Style Analysis
This season’s away kit features a rather unusual orange-yellow tone, accented with dark blue details. The design is said to be inspired by the sunset scenes in the Catalonia region, a color scheme that really stands out on the pitch. The front of the jersey uses a gradient effect, with the color gradually deepening from top to bottom. The Nike design team has really put in the effort this time.
The collar is a V-neck design, with the slogan “Més que un club” printed on the inside. Both the cuffs and the hem have elasticated trims, making it comfortable to wear. The fabric uses Dri-FIT technology, offering excellent breathability and sweat-wicking performance, which is perfect for the high temperatures of a Spanish summer.
Price and Purchase Channel Comparison
Locally in Barcelona, there are quite a few places to buy the jersey. I’ve compiled a price comparison of the main channels:
| Purchase Channel | Replica Version Price | Authentic Version Price | Advantages |
|---|
| Official Camp Nou Store | 90€ | 140€ | Widest selection, customization available |
| Official Nike Store | 90€ | 140€ | Frequent sales and promotions |
| El Corte Inglés | 85€ | 135€ | Easy returns and exchanges |
| Online Shopping | 90€ | 140€ | Home delivery |
My personal advice is that if you’re not in a hurry to get the Barcelona away authentic jersey, you can wait for a promotion on the Nike official website, where you can usually save 15-20 euros. Also, while the official Camp Nou store doesn’t have a price advantage, you can get names and numbers printed on the spot and see the product in person, which is a safer bet for first-time buyers.
Sizing Advice
A special note on sizing: Nike jerseys generally run small. I usually wear a size M, but I have to buy a size L for the jersey to fit well. If you prefer a looser fit, I recommend going one size up. The authentic version has a slimmer, more athletic cut, suitable for those with a fitter build, while the replica version has a more relaxed fit, making it more comfortable for everyday wear.
You need to be even more careful with women’s jersey sizes; it’s best to try them on in a physical store before buying. Additionally, the kids’ versions are actually quite cost-effective. If you are under 165cm tall, you might consider buying the largest kids’ size, which can save you around 30 euros.
Styling and Care Tips
This orange-yellow away jersey is actually quite easy to style. I usually pair it with dark jeans or sweatpants, and either white or black sneakers work well. Definitely don’t pair it with red pants—that would be way too flashy.
In terms of care, I recommend hand washing in cold water or using the delicate cycle on your washing machine. Be especially careful with the printed numbers and crest; it’s best to turn the jersey inside out before washing to avoid direct friction. When drying, avoid direct sunlight. Just let it air dry in a cool, ventilated place. I had a jersey where the edges of the numbers cracked due to sun exposure, so this is really something to watch out for.
Personally, I’m a big fan of the design for this season’s Barcelona away kit. Although it’s not cheap, it’s a worthy addition for any fan’s collection. If you have any questions about purchasing or styling, feel free to leave a comment below to discuss.
