Official: Barcelona unveil their away kit for 2025/26 season
FC Barcelona have officially unveiled their away kit for the 2025/26 season — and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before.
In a groundbreaking collaboration between Nike and Kobe Bryant’s brand, the design fuses Barça’s football DNA with the legendary “Mamba Mentality” that defined Kobe’s career.
The launch video, titled “Mamba Rondo”, sets the tone — a stylish concept piece centred around the symbolic rondo drill, which represents Barça’s signature values: quick decision-making, possession play, and collective unity.
Star players from both the men’s and women’s teams feature in the video, including Alejandro Balde, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Alexia Putellas, and Salma Paralluelo, among others.
Design That Honors the Black Mamba
The jersey stuns in a bold Team Gold base, with Persian violet and black detailing — a clear nod to the iconic colors Kobe wore during his unforgettable NBA journey.
At the center of the chest sits the Kobe Sheath logo, brought to life with a snakeskin-textured 3D silicone finish, symbolising strength and precision.
Spotify remains the main sponsor, printed in black, while sleeve sponsors differ: Ambilight for the men’s shirt, and Bimbo for the women’s — both in black as well.
The shorts complete the look with a black foundation, violet highlights, and a snakeskin-inspired print, reinforcing the “Black Mamba” essence. The Barça crest is placed on the left leg, while the Kobe logo is featured on the right, beneath the player’s number in gold.
Black socks with “Barça” emblazoned in violet round off the full kit.
