FC Barcelona 20-21 Home Kit Released - Replica Finally Available After Quality Issues
Update: Almost two months after the launch of the new FC Barcelona 2020-21 home shirt, the €90 replica version of the kit is finally available for sale. The long wait is explained by a manufacturing problem by Nike that made jerseys fade with sweat or when being washed.
The new FC Barcelona 2020-21 home strip was officially released by the club this morning, and is available to buy in the official store as well as from select retailers. Only the €140 Vapor Match version of the FC Barcelona 2020-2021 home strip is available right now, due to production issues with the 'replica' edition.
The release date for the replica / stadium jerseys will be announced in the future:
"Due to a technical issue, [Stadium] models were withdrawn from the distribution controlled by FC Barcelona, and once the problem is solved, the Club will inform when the garments will be available through the usual stores and distribution channels."

FC Barcelona Nike 2020-21 Home Shirt
Check out Nike's FC Barcelona 2020-2021 home jersey below.
The Nike FC Barcelona 20-21 home shirt introduces a classy look that's inspired by the 2011 Champions League winning shirt as well as the club's successful 1920s period.
It's the ten-year anniversary of the 2010-11 season, which saw Barcelona win the league and Champions League. Similar to the classy kit worn that season, the Nike FC Barcelona 20-21 home football shirt has a yellow crew-neck collar and two red stripes on the front, back and sleeves.
Inspired by the 1920s, there are thin gold stripes that appear between the traditional blue and red on the Nike FC Barcelona 2020-21 shirt. Such a style was used by the Catalan giants throughout the 1920s, including when they won the Copa del Rey in 1928 and the first La Liga in 1929.
There's also a subtle halftone gradient towards the sides of the stripes, which reminds us a bit of the 2012-13 kit.
Blue shorts and hooped socks round off the look of the new FC Barcelona 2020-2021 kit by Nike.
