Barcelona unveil new home kit for 2017-18

The Spanish football giant Barcelona have revealed their new home kit for the 2017-18 season, with a different look to the traditional red stripes.

The club has retained the iconic red and blue, however there is just one red stripe of traditional thickness vertically down the middle.

This then splits off into thinner stripes across the chest, with one more bar under the arms and none on the sleeves, which are left plain blue.

The shirt is designed by Nike, who call it an 'updated interpretation of the traditional Blaugrana stripes'.

The kit goes on sale on June 1, and any Barca fans wanting to get the genuine article as soon as it becomes available could be left with light pockets.

Although no official price has yet been announced, the 2016-17 adult shirt - for a season that has already finished - is still retailing at £69.99, reduced from £100.

It is very likely that the 2017-18 adult shirt will be officially available for a three figure sum, with a child's kit set to cost parents around £50.
