FC Barcelona 16-17 Kit Will Be Inspired by 1992 Kit

FC Barcelona president Bartomeu today confirmed in an interview with RAC 105 that the new FC Barcelona 2016-2017 Jersey will return to the traditional vertical stripes. He also announced that the new Barcelona 2016-2017 Jersey will draw inspiration from the shirt worn in the 1992 Champions League final.

Some weeks ago, it was already rumored that the new Barcelona 2016-17 Shirt will feature the iconic blaugrana vertical stripes after this season's home shirt introduced radical new horizontal stripes.

FC Barcelona 2016-2017 Shirt Returns to vertical stripes

This is a mock-up of how the new Barcelona 16-17 kit could look like.

To honor the 25-years anniversary of Barcelona's first-ever UEFA Champions league title won in 1991-92, the new FC Barcelona 2016-17 Shirt will be similar to the shirt worn in the early 1990s. Barça's 1991-92 Home Kit was made by the Barcelona-based sportsbrand Meyba.

Barcelona's president revealed various details of Barcelona's 16-17 Home Kit. The new Barcelona 2016-2017 Shirt will feature a more reddish color than recent shirts, which feature blue and crimson stripes.

It's very probable that the new Barça Kit will boast two red and three blue vertical stripes with subtle tonal pinstripes, and it's also possible that it will feature classical Polo collar, similar to the 1992 shirt. In fact, Atlético Madrid's and Inter Milan's 15-16 Kits were both inspired by the shirts worn 25 years ago, and featured an almost identical design to the kit worn 25 years ago.

While FC Barcelona wore the striking orange away kit in the Champions League Final against Sampdoria, Barcelona's president talked about the home shirt. However, it's also very likely that the new Barcelona 16-17 Away Jersey will boast the main color orange with red and blue details.

Back in vertical stripes. It's already confirmed that Barcelona will return to traditional vertical stripes, despite the fact that Barcelona hasn't worn the hooped kit yet.
