Nike Launch Barcelona 1998 Collection Shirt

Mes que un club. More than a club. Arguably the greatest club side in world football for the past 20 years, FC Barcelona. With 28 major trophies and titles since 1998 to their name, Barcelona’s Camp Nou has witnessed glory of the highest order. Now, Nike have released a Barcelona ’98 shirt celebrating the accomplishments of this hugely successful club over the past two decades.

In that time, as well as watching the team lift trophies, the Camp Nou faithful have also witnessed one the greatest ever players, Lionel Messi. And while Leo remains Barca’s brightest star, here Nike have continued their work of designing and launching retro kits of the past.

This new ’98 replica kit symbolises their success and much-loved former players: the likes of Luis Figo, Pep Guardiola, Rivaldo, Phillip Cocu, Ronald De Boer, Patrick Kluivert, Xavi Hernandez and Frank de Boer.

Since the start of the 1998/99 season Barcelona have gone on to win 15 La Liga titles, nine Copa del Reys and four UEFA Champions League trophies. An incredible record that has been matched with Nike’s loyalty to the Catalonian outfit. This Nike FCB 98 Collection shirt is an almost identical replica of the 1998 original. Nike are one of the best out there for delivering the goods and bringing back pieces of nostalgia for world football, and they’ve done an excellent job once again.

The classic red and blue striped replica is one of the most simplistic but iconic in Barca history. Especially with the centralised crest and Nike swoosh in gold.
