FC Barcelona and Nike Trouble Continues
Update: Nike has released its 24-25 Elite third kit collection featuring every team except for FC Barcelona and PSG (Jordan kit, so not featured). Fans are wondering why Barça is not featured, and we can reveal the reason for it.
The absence of Barcelona is likely due to recent issues and ongoing contract talks between Nike and the Catalan club. It's uncertain when Barça will release its third kit, but the press release suggests that "additional club jerseys will be released throughout the upcoming soccer season," which most likely includes Barça's kit and the Jordan PSG third shirt.
