Special-Edition Nike FC Barcelona El Clásico Kit - What We Know
Ahead of FC Barcelona's match against Real Madrid on March 2, the special-edition FC Barcelona 2019 kit got leaked and was already available in some stores. It was expected that Barca would wear in El Clásico against Real Madrid (the kit is dubbed 'El Clásico jersey'), but Barca used their regular home kit instead. We summarize up all you need to know about the shirt.
FC Barcelona El Clásico Kit To Be Released Soon - Will Very Likely Not Worn On Pitch
The kit was available for a few hours on popular sites such as Soccer.com and Nike's China store, but it has been deleted since then. However, the Nike FCB SE kit is still available on some Chinese website and eBay.
Design:
As already mentioned in the original article, the FC Barcelona 2019 SE jersey draws inspiration from the first-ever Barca kit from Nike - the 1998-99 home kit.
Price:
The Nike FC Barcelona SE kit will retail at the same price as Nike's regular FC Barcelona kits (140 Euro for the authentic Vapor Match version, 90 Euro for the replica version).
Availability
The Nike FC Barcelona Special-Edition Jersey will be launched worldwide in the coming weeks. There is no exact new launch date as of now, but it will be relatively limited, similar to the Mashup shirt last year.
Name
We could imagine that the jersey will be not called 'El Clásico' in the end - Since Real Madrid was eliminated in the Champions League, it is certain that there won't be another Clásico this seaosn.
