Your support makes all the difference.Barcelona made headlines this week when they ditched their traditional stripes with a controversial new home kit.
The reigning Spanish champions are known for their iconic red and blue stripes but have opted for a Croatia-inspired checkerboard design for the 2019/20 campaign, the first time they have mixed up their look since 2015/16, when they wore hoops.
“The new design takes its inspiration from the city of Barcelona by incorporating the characteristic blocks of its Eixample district, home to some of the most emblematic buildings designed by the great architect Antoni Gaud,” the club said in a statement.
In honour of their new kit, Barcelona have this week been running a poll on their official club website to find out which of their strips from the past 11 seasons their fans like the most.
Somewhat surprisingly, the least favourite kit is the 2011/12 effort and not the infamous hooped kit – but which strip was voted as the best?
Take a look at the above gallery to find out.
