Barcelona supporters remained stunned by seeing their heroes in the third kit of last season for the weekend victory in Mallorca. But it appears that there is a very good reason that they could not wear any of their kits for the 2025-26 campaign.
The Green-Lime Kit worn by Barcelona with son Moix has painful memories for some, since it was worth Hansi Flick during their semi-final defeat of the Champions League against Inter. On this occasion, however, it was not bad luck, because Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal's goals provided an opening day victory for the ruling La Liga champions.
Nevertheless, there will be hope among fans that Barcelona will be able to debut one of the new kits for this weekend's trip to Levante – but unfortunately this will almost certainly not be the case.
According to the sport, none of the three kits of Barcelona for the 2025-26 season has the not yet released Orange Third-Kit 'kit-selection process' process used for the match against Mallorca, and the expectation within Barca is that this will also be the case for the Levante Clash.
According to La Liga, Levante's home kit contains “a chromatic combination that clashes with the three new kits” that Barcelona has, which means that Flick's side probably reused the green lime kit when they play in the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia on Saturday evening.
Barcelona will hope that the next weekend they are more lucky for their MD3 collision, which is against Rayo Vallecano. And given the fact that they carried their home kit during last season's collision in Vallecas, they should not experience any further problems as soon as the Levante match is avoided. However, it cannot yet be taken for granted.
