Overview

• Barcelona will wear the 2024-25 green third kit at Saturday’s La Liga opener away to RCD Mallorca, bypassing their new season uniforms.
• The club last donned the green third strip in last season’s Champions League semifinal away against Inter Milan, ensuring its immediate availability.
• Match registration rules and Mallorca’s red-and-black home shirt prompted the fallback to the previous kit despite the presence of a new 2025-26 away design.
• Barcelona has not issued an official explanation beyond the matchday art, leaving logistical or marketing motives unconfirmed.
• Sport reports suggest the third kit could also feature in upcoming away games, potentially delaying the debut of any new 2025-26 shirts until at least matchday three.
