Should Nike Have Combined the Alternative Barcelona 22-23 Home Kit With Blue Shorts?

This week, FC Barcelona debuted their alternative red shorts and socks in the Spanish Super Cup. Would it look better with alternative light blue shorts? Thanks to @KitCrimes for the idea for that article.

The FC Barcelona 22-23 home kit is combined with navy shorts by default. The red option is the official alternative variant for the 22-23 season, while there exist no light blue shorts and socks officially.

FC Barcelona 22-23 Home Kit Wih Blue Shorts & Socks

The FC Barcelona 22-23 home kit looks with blue shorts & socks looks more traditional than the red option, as visible in our mock-up.

Indeed, we have just used the lighter blue of the tricolor FC Barcelona 2022-23 home shirt.

Compared to the standard navy shorts/socks look, it becomes obvious that both of the two alternative work. But which is the best?

Which is the Best? A Matter of Personal Preference

In the end, it is a matter of personal preference. Some people may prefer the standard navy shorts, while others may prefer blue shorts, while some prefer the red shorts worn by the team. Ultimately, the look that is considered "better" is subjective and can vary from person to person.
