FC Barcelona has launched its striking new away kit for the 2025/26 season, and it’s much more than just a new jersey. The design is a powerful and touching tribute to the late basketball legend and lifelong Barça fan, Kobe Bryant. This unique partnership between the club and the Kobe Bryant brand showcases a deep shared respect for excellence and a relentless pursuit of improvement.
The shirt features a vibrant gold base with purple and black details, colors made famous by the Los Angeles Lakers. A subtle snakeskin texture runs through the fabric, a direct nod to Kobe’s famous “Black Mamba” nickname. In a historic move, the traditional Nike Swoosh has been replaced by the “Kobe Sheath” logo, a symbol that represents the dedication and skill Bryant brought to his craft.
