Barcelona’s kits for next season mix the old-school with the new rave

Colourful

Irish people for the most part don’t tend to wear very bright colours.

Our pasty skin does us no favours when Barcelona brought out a very luminous kit on more than one occasion over the last number of years.

But it seems that they are sticking with the bright theme for next season’s kit, but toning it down a tad according to reports from Spain tonight.

Newspaper Sport has somehow gotten their hands on what they feel are the three kits the club may be wearing in La Liga next season as well as the Champions League.

And it’s a major change at least for the first-team kit as the horizontal stripes we’ve seen so far this campaign have been dumped after just one season.

The second and third strips are not that hugely different, even if the purple third kit may make some more rotund gentlemen and women look a little like Barney the dinosaur.

Still, if you have the skill of a Lionel Messi or Neymar, who cares.

The only thing that has us questioning, always questioning of course, is the fact that Qatar Airways is not confirmed as the club’s sponsor for the 2016/17 season yet.
