this barca will play again white next season. It was approved by the president Joan Laporta and the board a few months ago.
If there is one thing that cannot be talked about with Laporta, it is that he is a brave president. The departure of Leo Messi, the leverages, the sale of rights or the signings this season is a risky bet but they have given Barcelona back the illusion.
Yesterday the team showed that it can now face the big guys again, although as Xavi pointed out it should be more competitive. And I say this because the decision to play white with the second jersey will not leave anyone indifferent.
Until the end of the 70s, Barça played many matches in white and Johan Cruyff He is the last player to play for Barça in the 1977-78 season, but whenever this possibility comes to the fore, a controversy opens up.
three wide stripes
It should be noted that before the 1970s, when Barça matched the colors of the opposing team, white shirts were common. Even in 1952, Barça won the Latin Cup final against Nice in Paris. In short, Barça will once again wear white more than once in the 2023/24 season.
There was discussion at the club before the decision was made, but it was approved, and agency sources are confident the new white jersey will appear regardless of initial criticism. It will become one of the best selling shirts in history.. In fact, the first sample to reach club offices was very successful among the few employees who could see it.
As for the first jersey the A team will wear next season, it will return to the most classic model used from 1912 until the first major changes were made in 1992. In other words, the three widest lanes will once again dominate the front. . Therefore, the new shirt will again reduce the front bands, the colors will be classic blue and burgundy, and only a few light water will show that there are 21st century designs.
