Sources: New Barcelona away kit could be the best-selling jersey in club history

Earlier today, Barcelona revealed their new away kit, featuring blue shorts and an all-white shirt reminiscent of their white jerseys from the 1970s during the Johan Cruyff era.

The tribute to the past stretches beyond just the colours of the kit, with the Catalans reverting to the iconic club badge that was used between 1975 to 2002 to make it even more distinctive.

As is often the case with kit reveals, this new Barcelona away kit was met with some criticism, but the overall response seems to be incredibly positive, with fans flocking to the club website to get their hands on one.

Reports from CAT Radio’s program Tot Costa even went as far as to say that club sources believe this kit may end up being the best-selling kit in the club’s history after launch, as the reaction has exceeded all expectations.

Cruyff wasn’t the only player who popularised this white kit, however, with players like Alcántara, Samitier, César and Kubala, among others, also sporting white jerseys between the 1920s and 1970s.

The sleeve cuffs also include the iconic blue and claret colours to add a distinctive feature despite the simple and clean overall design. And to complete the set, the players also have the Blaugrana stocks.

After missing out on their first pre-season tour game against Juventus, the Catalans will soon face Arsenal and get their USA tour back on track. With two more games following that clash, there is a good chance fans will be able to see the new shirt in action.
