Barcelona have taken their friendship with Celtic to a new level by launching a brand new HOOPED kit.
For the first time ever the Catalan side have ditched their traditional stripes in favour of red and blue hoops with the new kit expected to smash all box office records.
Celtic have been to the Nou Camp five times in the last dozen years with the popularity of the hoops being taken up by the club and Nike.
Announcing the new look the Barca website said: “FC Barcelona next season will have a new kit from Nike in which the famous blaugrana stripes will be horizontal by the horizontal stripes of the blaugrana flags that are waved by the fans on match day at Camp Nou.
“The horizontal stripes have been seen before on kits for the basketball, rugby and track and field teams at FC Barcelona. However, it is the first time in the long and rich history of the Club that the football team will have horizontal stripes on their kit.
“The four maroon horizontal stripes stand out on a blue background, a design that is 100% blaugrana for fans all over the world. A yellow gold rivet with four thin red stripes surround the outside part of the collar, stylised and modern and on the inside of the collar the club’s famous logo ‘More than a Club’ can be seen, just as it can be in the stands at Camp Nou.
“The yellow golden stripe on sides of the shirt continues down the shorts which are in the classic red of FC Barcelona.
“The new socks for the first team are blue with a red stripe in the top part where a wide stripe of small chevrons in the calf area can be seen in golden yellow.”
Nike are expected to launch a new range of ‘C’mon the hoops’ merchandise next month.
