The new FC Barcelona third kit features a highly distinctive and eye-catching two-tone Volt yellow. The shirt, shorts and socks all feature the bright Volt color on the front, while a darker tone of the same yellow adorns the back. This two-tone design is similar to that seen in the third kit of Italian team Juventus.
The two tones of yellow are divided by a blue stripe that runs from the sides of the kit down the collar all the way down to the shorts and socks. These stripes accentuate the perception of speed when the players are moving fast.
Despite playing in the Spanish league and proudly contributing many players to the Spanish national team, Barcelona is closely associated with the Catalan separatist movement; for that reason, the flag of Catalonia is featured on the shirt's right sleeve.
