FC Barcelona is preparing to unveil its away jersey for the 2023-2024 season before its friendly match against Arsenal on Wednesday evening. The Spanish press has already indicated that the outfit will be completely white, a first since the 1970s.
The formalization of the FC Barcelona away jersey is imminent. Wednesday evening, as part of its summer tour in the United States, the Catalan club should play with its new tunic against Arsenal. For the occasion, as indicated the spanish press, Xavi’s players will evolve completely in white. This design had been missing since March 1979.
The away shirt was white in the 1970s
Last season, FC Barcelona already had a white background for its third jersey, but horizontal and vertical stripes were a reminder of the historic colors of the Catalans. For the leaders, this new jersey will be an opportunity to pay tribute to history since FC Barcelona already wore a white away kit in the 1970s, the Johan Cruyff period (1973-1978).
Saturday evening, FC Barcelona will meet Real Madrid in a match again disputed in the United States. Initially, the summer tour was to start with a poster against Juventus but the meeting was canceled due to an epidemic of gastroenteritis in the Blaugrana ranks. Initially, FC Barcelona was to receive 12 million euros for this North American tour, but will therefore receive a little less with this cancellation.
Holders of the La Liga title, FC Barcelona will resume official competition on the weekend of August 13 with a league match against Getafe. The following week, the Blaugrana club will live their first home game of the season, at the Lluís-Companys Olympic Stadium while the Camp Nou is currently being renovated.
