da pixbet: The Blaugrana have worn some memorable and big-selling home kits over the years, but which were the best ever?
da bwin: You'd be hard-pressed to find a club more loyal to its colour scheme than Barcelona's infatuation with their red-and-blue combination. And for good reason. The combination pays homage to Catalunya — a nod to the club's heritage as much as its sporting success.
Over the years, though, the scheme has become iconic as its own entity. And with Barcelona having released the latest iteration of the Blaugrana stripes with their 2023-24 kit, GOAL takes a look at the best Barca home kits from down the years…
10A shirt to silence the Bernabeu (2004-05)
Barcelona enjoyed a turnaround in fortunes 2004-05, breaking a six-year wait for the Liga title, thanks largely to an immense squad overhaul.
But it was a player who remained at the club who made the difference. Ronaldinho won the FIFA World Player of the Year, and got the Santiago Bernabeu crowd to rise to its feet with one iconic performance. This shirt, in truth, wasn't particularly memorable in its short sleeves. But the long-sleeve version was gorgeous.

The football that Barcelona played in this shirt was simply sublime. It is, objectively, slightly unfair to have Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar all on the same team, but the trio lit up Europe, with manager Luis Enrique's constructing a side that allowed three of the world's best attacking players to run riot.
And this kit, that so easily hashed modern Nike design with the classic Blaugrana stripes of old, is a memorable one.

The Kappa design, the Barca imprint, the stitching around the badge, the v-neck fit. Everything about this shirt was stylish and classy. And, 30 years on, it's aged an absolute charm.
The squad that wore it, Johan Cruyff's famous 'Dream Team', wasn't bad, either. They won four consecutive La Liga titles from 1991-94, dominating domestic football with their eye-catching style.
This strip marked the end of that era, but still saw some remarkable moments. Barca beat Real Madrid to the Spanish title on the final day in 1993, and pipped Deportivo on goal difference the year after. It is also best remembered for Romario's 30-goal debut season.

The Blaugrana switched to a rather controversial horizontal stripe in 2016, but quickly did away with it the year after. This one felt like something of an overcorrection at first, and appeared to be a rehash of the familiar Nike design that dominated Euro 2016's kits.
But the signature bits of it, the V-neck and bright accents, made it special. The shirt was also worn during the Blaugrana's famous "remontada" win over Paris Saint-Germain. Not a bad memory to be associated with!
