Barcelona‘s have revealed their striking new away kit for the 2025/26 season, which replaces the traditional Nike swoosh with Kobe Bryant’s ‘Kobe Sheath’ logo.
In a groundbreaking move, the club has teamed up with the late NBA icon’s brand, with the Kobe emblem set to feature on Barça’s shirts for the next three seasons.
“FC Barcelona and Nike have signed a bold and emblematic partnership,” the club stated in an official release on Tuesday. “The new shirt will incorporate the ‘Kobe Sheath,’ symbolising a shared culture of sporting excellence.”
The design pays tribute to Bryant’s legacy and aims to bring the Mamba Mentality into football, further strengthening the link between Nike, Kobe Bryant‘s, and FC Barcelona.
The move mirrors PSG’s collaboration with Michael Jordan’s brand and marks another ambitious step in Barça’s growing global merchandising push, which also includes new ranges featuring the club’s Cat mascot and Lamine Yamal‘s iconic No. 10 shirt.
