Barcelona have unveiled their new away kit for the 2026-27 season and it’s another Kobe Bryant collection for the new campaign.
The kit is a black and violet number with a snake skin pattern, featuring the Kobe logo along with an iridescent Barcelona crest.
The shirts also feature a hidden quote from Kobe Bryant inside which reads: “Leave the game better than you found it.“
Here’s some more blurb from the club’s official website:
“The creative campaign is built around the idea of confidence earned through hard work, conviction and the constant ambition to push beyond your own limits. It is an attitude that naturally reflects both FC Barcelona’s competitive identity and Kobe Bryant’s legacy, with both icons sharing the same relentless drive: to keep competing in order to go even further.
“The new kit is a visual expression of that mindset. Inspired by the aesthetic universe of the Kobe brand, it features black as its dominant colour, a symbol of the determination and competitive intensity that define both FC Barcelona and the Kobe Bryant brand, combined with a gradual fade into purple at the bottom of the shirt, a colour closely associated with Bryant’s sporting career. Gold detailing reflects the constant pursuit of major challenges and trophies, while a series of graphic elements incorporate subtle references to the Kobe Bryant brand identity.”
