Top Kits of 2016
#10: Barcelona 16/17 Home Kit
Coming in at #10 in our Top Kits of 2016 countdown is the Barcelona 16/17 home kit. The jersey pairs Nike Aeroswift innovation with design details that honor the 25th anniversary of the club’s triumphant 91/92 European campaign.
The secret to Nike’s Aeroswift technology is an entirely new yarn. Nike’s design team tested hundreds of yarns before identifying the perfect properties for ensuring advanced breathability. The result is a kit that wicks sweat away from the skin 20% faster, and dries 25% faster than Nike’s most recent soccer jerseys.
On the 16/17 home jersey the club’s classic broad vertical Stripes alternate FC Barcelona’s traditional red and blue with lighter shades of the same hues. Thinner tonal stripes, which also nod the club’s style during its seminal championship run, taper near the hem. The sleeves and shoulders feature contrasting agility rib fabric that reveals midnight navy and hyper cobalt stripes.
The 16/17 Barcelona home kit is available now!
