With a shift in focus and inspiration, breaking new ground for the first time, new Barcelona Home Shirt 23/24 from Nike is the first to be inspired by the women’s team. It has the classic broad stripes in original blaugrana colours, but with a significant detail – the badge set into a diamond. The diamond represents the first women’s team to ever play a game of football at the Spotify Camp Nou, an example of Barça’s pioneering spirit, always adopting a leading role in both sport and society, allied with continued success.
This Barcelona Home Shirt to commemorate this historic moment was officially released around the concept of "red and blue lights, illuminating the way forward". The special design on the crest draws on the pioneering spirit of the pioneering women who formed the team and played a women's game at Camp Nou in 1970. They lead by example, set a precedent, and pave the way for future generations as pioneers. Today, more than 50 years later, the young Barcelona players will continue to lead Barcelona and reinforce one of the club's core concepts, which is to be a leader in every field.
The brand-new Barcelona home kit features an unprecedented Barcelona crest design, incorporating a diamond shape symbolizing the significance of the first women's fan club founded in 1971. The story behind this dates back to 1970 when Inma Cabeceran wrote a letter to then Barcelona president Agustí Montal i Costa proposing the creation of a women's football team. This was inspired by a closed-door women's football match held at the Camp Nou stadium.
This match evidently led to the birth of the first Barcelona women's fan club in 1971, whose emblem fused the club crest with a diamond shape. The fan club went on to establish the first women's football team in 1988, donning jerseys featuring this emblem for matches, even though they weren't yet recognized as the official Barcelona women's football team. Eventually, in 2002, they received official recognition from the club alongside this emblem. The subsequent journey is well-known, as their pioneering efforts paved the way for remarkable success.
Barcelona Femení clinched their first UEFA Women's Champions League title in 2021, with Alexia Putellas winning the Ballon d'Or and being named the world's best player. Furthermore, on June 3, 2023, the team made history by securing their second UEFA Women's Champions League title.
The Barcelona new kit are inspired by this historic symbol, and the jersey launch event stems from this pioneering spirit and is led by the Barcelona players who serve as models of success and inspiration for today's youth role models.
