Inspired by the club crest, the Nike FC Barcelona 21-22 Jersey is striking and distinctive. This time the Nike Barcelona 2021-22 football shirt has a new look, no longer featuring blue and red stripes or half-stripes or any of the variants used in recent years, instead taking graphics from the club crest and applying it to the entire front. In addition to this, the design transitions from red on the right to blue on the left, and a simple blue crew neck also completes the look.
