The new Barcelona home shirt for the 2019/2020 season has a distinct resemblance to the Croatian national shirts. According to unconfirmed reports in the Spanish press the club have given Nike permission to go with the new design and work on preparing the new look kit is underway. For the first time in history, there will be no lines on the strip.
"Instead, Barça's home shirt will be squared, in a similar to design to the one worn by Croatia's national team, although it still will maintain the Blaugrana colours," reports the Spanish website sport.es.
The shirt will certainly be familiar to the Barcelona FC midfielder Ivan Rakitić who reached the finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
