Barcelona have released their new ‘Mamba’ away kit for the 2025-26 season ahead of their second pre-season friendly against FC Seoul.
The new outfit pays tribute to NBA legend Kobe Bryant and is inspired by the Black Mamba snake, meaning the main colors used are gold with a violent and black trim.
Barca say the collab with the Bryant brand is: “part of a brand collaboration between the NBA legend and FC Barcelona that is born out of a shared culture of sporting excellence characterised Bryant and is also
part of FC Barcelona’s DNA.
“This new development strengthens the link between Nike and FC Barcelona and aims to extend the influence of the ‘Mamba Mentality’ and inspire new generations of athletes both on and off the field.
And here it is:
Better is the only choice. FC Barcelona’s purest expression of footballing perfection meets the constant growth mindset of Mamba Mentality.#NikeFootball @nike @nikefootball pic.twitter.com/7ixX2vJoTf

The shirt also features the Bryant logo - inside of the famous Nike swoosh - and comes with black shorts and black socks.
Here’s some more blurb from the club.
“FC Barcelona and Nike make an audacious and iconic move in the world of Club kits. The second jersey for the 2025/26 season will replace the famous ‘Swoosh’ logo of the North American multinational with the ‘Kobe Sheath’ - the sword in the sheath logo that identifies the Kobe Bryant brand.
“The relationship between Barça and Kobe Bryant stretches back a long way. The NBA star was a supporter of the Club, and on many occasions, he could be found with Club members and the first team players, both in his visits to Barcelona and during the squad’s trips to the US. This agreement aims to keep alive that notion of brotherhood and at the same time create a link between Kobe fans and FC Barcelona to make the global impact of the American’s legacy even greater amongst the sporting community and fans.”
