PIC: This ‘fake’ kit prank from Barcelona is genius

Dani Alves would look so groovy in this psychedelic strip

We’ve seen worse actual jersey’s than this

We have a feeling that somebody might actually go out and make this kit a reality but for now we’ll have to make do with Barcelona’s attempt at an April Fool’s joke.

The 28th of December in Spain is known as Inocentada Day, and newspaper Mundo Deportivo and the club came up with a great idea to run a story that showed an early glimpse of the club’s new 2016-17 jersey.

And boy is it a whopper:

Barca jersey

It kind of looks a bit like the graphics they used at the start of ‘That 70’s Show’ and there is definitely a very Austin Powers theme to the creation.

Maybe there’s someone out there who actually would have bought this thing.

Shudder.
