Barcelona’s partnership with Nike and Kobe Bryant looks set to continue in style after leaked images offered a glimpse of the club’s anticipated special-edition jersey for the 2026/27 campaign.

Following the launch of the Barcelona home kit for 2026/27, attention has shifted towards the next release on the club’s calendar. 

The newly unveiled home shirt introduced a fresh aesthetic, featuring three shades of red and blue, but it appears another standout design is already on the way.

According to images shared by the account @memorabilia1899, Barcelona’s new Kobe Bryant jersey could become one of the most sought-after kits among the fans.

The Barcelona Kobe Bryant jersey 2026/27 is expected to mark the second collaboration between the Catalan club, Nike and the basketball legend’s brand.

Last season’s gold-themed design proved immensely popular among fans and became one of the club’s best-selling products. Barcelona will now hope that the latest edition generates a similar response.

Based on the leaked images, the new Barcelona Kobe Bryant kit will feature a predominantly black design accompanied by a purple gradient effect stretching towards the shorts.

The shorts themselves are expected to showcase the same shade of purple known as ‘Field Purple’, famously associated with the Los Angeles Lakers, the franchise where Kobe Bryant established his legendary status.

Furthermore, the iconic Kobe Sheath logo and the Barcelona crest are set to receive an iridescent finish, while the collar design is said to mirror the style currently used by Nike on national team jerseys during the World Cup.

Another significant feature is the inscription expected to appear inside the collar.

The phrase, “Leave the game better than you found it,” pays tribute to one of Kobe Bryant’s most memorable statements made upon his retirement.

When will Barcelona release the new kit?

Although Barcelona have yet to officially unveil the jersey, reports suggest supporters will not have to wait much longer.

The leaked information indicates that the Barcelona Kobe Bryant jersey release date has been scheduled for the end of July.

It must be remembered that Barcelona have enjoyed strong commercial success from previous special-edition shirts, and expectations remain high that this collaboration with Kobe Bryant will once again attract considerable interest worldwide.
