Leaked images reveal that Nike is reviving the classic raglan sleeve design for FC Barcelona's 25-26 home jersey, paying homage to iconic kits from the club's rich history.
A raglan sleeve is a sleeve that extends in one piece fully to the collar, leaving a diagonal seam from underarm to collarbone.
FC Barcelona 25-26 Home Jersey with Raglan Sleeves
The FC Barcelona 25-26 home jersey features the traditional blaugrana vertical stripes with a significant design throwback - raglan sleeves in solid navy blue. This distinctive sleeve construction, where the sleeve extends in one piece to the collar, creates a diagonal seam across the chest and shoulders.
This design element marks a notable departure from recent Barcelona home shirts, which have featured set-in sleeves for several seasons. The raglan style was previously used in several beloved Barcelona kits from earlier eras, creating a blend of nostalgia and modern performance features.
The last time the Barcelona home kit featured raglan sleeves was in the 2022-23 season. Before that, Barcelona regularly used the raglan sleeve design in the 2000s, in the 2015-2020 period, but fell off.
The long-sleeve version showcases how the raglan design allows for clean color blocking between the striped body and solid sleeves, creating a distinctive silhouette that many traditional Barcelona supporters have requested for years.
