With just a few months remaining before the start of the new season, FC Barcelona fans are already ecstatic about the new kits.
Barcelona’s 2024/25 kits, after all, received widespread praise for their designs and aesthetics. Fans are expecting the 2025/26 season to be the same.
To that end, Footy Headlines has leaked the official picture of Barcelona’s 2025/26 away kit, which is inspired by Kobe Bryant’s Nike Mamba Collection.
Leaked design of Barcelona’s away kit next season
As per images shared by Footy Headlines, Barcelona’s away shirt next season features a striking and elegant colourway, officially listed as Team Gold/Black/Persian Violet.
The base is a light yellow-gold tone, paying tribute to Bryant’s legacy, while the detailing comes in bold black and deep purple.

A standout detail is the collar and sleeve cuffs, which use a black-violet-black design clearly inspired by the iconic Los Angeles Lakers jersey.
The influence of Bryant’s NBA roots is unmistakable here, blending seamlessly with Barcelona’s identity.
On the chest, the jersey showcases the black “Sheath” logo – Kobe Bryant’s emblem – opposite a blacked-out Barça crest.
The crest itself features a faint snakeskin texture, a subtle nod to the “Black Mamba” nickname that defined Bryant’s career.
The sponsor logo, Spotify, also appears in black to match the overall monochrome aesthetic.
This is in stark contrast to Barcelona’s home kit, which follows the traditional Blaugrana colours but with a twist.
