Barcelona played the Clásico with the 2019 kit

How many times have we seen a club wear the same kit for three seasons in a row? Probably never, that's the strange record of Barcelona who from 2019 have decided not to part with the Senyera kit designed by Nike and created to consolidate the club's close ties with Catalonia. Even yesterday in a match like the Clásico, which to call important is reductive, the Catalans showed up with their yellow kit accompanied by the four red stripes. According to Gerard Romero, a Spanish journalist, it was the Blaugrana president Joan Laporta who directly asked his team to wear it, since Real Madrid would have taken the field with the new jersey designed by Yohji Yamamoto, who knows maybe for superstition or to send yet another political message.

A situation completely compared to the one that lives in Naples where the partenopei since the beginning of this season have released as many as 13 jerseys. In fact, this year the credit or the fault of the introduction of the Senyera kit is to be attributed to UEFA that for the Champions League match against Benfica had expressly forbidden the Catalan team to take the field with the away kit with iridescent logos. Until now, the Catalans have worn the third kit and the Senyera for European away games, while the away kit has only been used a few times in the league due to the aforementioned problems. However, after three years, Barcelona continue to wear the yellow kit, continuing to carry the Catalan flag around Spain and Europe.
