After four years apart, FC Barcelona have been reunited with salmon-colored away kits. Back in 2009/10, the look saw the Catalan giants win the league, the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup, and finish in the semifinals of the Champions League, going out to eventual winners Inter Milan over two legs. For 2014/15, the color is back (albeit in a different shade) and is now called "bright crimson."
FC Barcelona return to salmon away kit for 2014/15
According to Nike, the new away kit captures the "youthful spirit of La Masia. La Masia is FC Barcelona's revered youth academy responsible for producing so many of the club's leading players today. The bright crimson kit is fresh and unexpected, reflecting young players' desire to stand out from the crowd."
Unlike the recently-introduced home kit, the new away shirt features a crew neck collar that matches the color of the rest of the shirt. The deep cuffs on the sleeves are a dark red on the front and blue on the back to connect Barça’s blaugrana home kit and heritage to the away. The inside of the neck features the Catalan flag, the Senyera, between two side stripes with one being red and the other blue. There is a pennant tab directly underneath the flag that bears the club’s famous motto of “Mes que un club” and the year of the club’s founding, 1899, in yellow writing on a blue backdrop.
The shorts that accompany the away shirt continue the solid color look save for a thin blue stripe that runs up both sides. The socks are also bright crimson with navy blue logos and a tonal chevron strip down the back of the legs.
The kits go on sale immediately and expect to see in action soon.
