A nod to the Ronaldinho era: Leaked colours of Barcelona’s third kit for 2027/28

The 2026-27 season is already underway, with Barcelona enjoying a splendid start to the campaign.

In the matches so far, the Catalans have donned both the home kit and the Kobe Bryant-inspired Mamba away kit.

Attention has now turned to future designs, with an early look at the club’s third kit for the 2027-28 season, which is expected to feature a distinct orange colour.

Reliable football kit news platform FootyHeadlines has leaked the likely colours of Barcelona’s third kit for the 2027-28 campaign.

According to the report, the Nike-designed shirt is expected to bring back a vibrant orange base, a classic alternative colour deeply rooted in the club’s history.

To complement the bright orange foundation, Nike are set to incorporate deep maroon and navy tones.

It is worth noting that the images shared are an early mockup created using Kit Creator, showcasing the predicted colours rather than the finalised design.

The standout feature of the leak is its clear resemblance to one of Barcelona’s most iconic shirts.

The vibrant orange base evokes memories of the club’s celebrated 2006-07 kit, famously worn during the Ronaldinho era.

That connection is sure to appeal to long-time supporters, with retro-inspired designs proving increasingly popular in modern football.

The mockup pairs the orange with navy detailing, including the club crest and the Spotify sponsor logo, alongside maroon trims on the collar and sleeves, giving it a bold yet classic look.

Of course, with this being an early leak and the kit not due for release until the 2027-28 season, there remains plenty of time for the design to evolve before its official unveiling.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are also reportedly working on bringing back their first official club logo for the 2027/28 home kit, though there is still a long way to go.

More leaks are expected to come surrounding Barcelona’s kits for the next season as the campaign evolves.
