Europa Press, E-Noticies Nike makes it official, Flick already knows: 'He'll be at the Barça-Athletic match in January'
The sports brand that outfits Barça is introducing a major innovation that has not gone unnoticed in the Catalan capital
It's clear that Flick's arrival on the Barça bench has given the team a new lease on life. Last season, the German's first in the Catalan city, already showed signs of the great project that was taking shape. Even though the current season hasn't started as well as one might expect, excitement among the fans is at its highest.
The Barça faithful are aware of the very young and talented squad that Barça has. Flick has many solutions at his disposal for any situation. The difference with the previous project led by Xavi Hernández is enormous.
The team presses better, regains possession sooner, and shows more fluidity in the attacking half. In addition, Flick knows there's still room for improvement, since the squad is young and needs time to absorb all the concepts. The fans have regained their optimism and the good news keeps coming.
Nike brings great joy to Flick's Barça
Meanwhile, the club has surprised fans with a very special announcement. Nike has officially unveiled Barça's fourth kit for the 2025/26 season. The announcement has come at a symbolic moment and with maximum impact.
This kit will serve as an alternative for both home and away matches, and its design has a strong historical component. The jersey pays tribute to Barça's legendary 3-0 win at Santiago Bernabéu in the 2005/06 season.
That night was etched into the collective memory of Barcelona fans: it was one of the greatest displays of the Ronaldinho era. The club and Nike have decided to launch the jersey exactly on November 19, the exact date of the twentieth anniversary of that match. Samuel Eto'o opened the scoring with his usual opportunism and Ronaldinho finished the job with two unforgettable goals that earned a standing ovation from Bernabéu.
Nike's new jersey will debut on the field in January
Nike knows that a product of this caliber could mean an extra source of revenue for FC Barcelona. The initial promotion, carefully choosing the launch day and the message it conveys, has been a complete success, but the club and the American brand want much more. That's why they intend to present it to the public next January, during the Barça-Athletic match that will take place as part of the Spanish Super Cup.
The choice is not random. The Super Cup is played in Saudi Arabia and the jersey will have much more impact in that tournament. In addition, the novelty of seeing Barça with a new special kit created exclusively by Nike could be a major draw for fans and expert collectors.
