A Bold Black-to-Purple Statement
The 2026/27 away shirt breaks completely from Barcelona's usual look. Instead of the classic Blaugrana, Nike has built the kit around a gradient that fades from a black top into a rich purple base. The palette of black, purple, and gold is a direct nod to Kobe Bryant and his years with the LA Lakers.
A Tribute to the Mamba Mentality
This is the second season of Barcelona's collaboration with Nike and the Kobe Bryant brand, and the design leans fully into it. The colours stand for determination, intensity, and the pursuit of greatness, values shared by the club and the late Kobe Bryant.
Design Details That Set It Apart
Every detail on this shirt is made to be seen.
Snakeskin Texture and an Iridescent Crest
The fabric carries a knitted weave pattern inspired by snakeskin, a signature of the Mamba identity. The Barcelona crest appears in an iridescent finish that shifts tone as the light moves across it. Kobe's three-horned Mamba logo takes pride of place on the chest, while brushed gold accents lift the whole design. Inside the collar sits a hidden Kobe line: "Leave the game better than you found it."
Player Version Fit and Fabric
Built to match-grade standards, the Player Version has a slim athletic fit that mirrors the on-pitch shirt. Lightweight, breathable fabric keeps you cool and lets you move freely, whether you are playing, training, or styling it off the pitch. If you prefer a roomier everyday fit, simply size up. For a more relaxed cut, the Fan Version football jersey range offers the same look with extra comfort.
