• Elegant polo collar with red and blue piping, providing a classic finish

History and heritage

The 2002-2003 third kit symbolizes a period of transition for FC Barcelona. Before Ronaldinho's arrival the following season, the club began a sporting and identity-building process. This kit, worn by players like Xavi, Kluivert, Overmars, and Puyol, remains iconic for its unique aesthetic: the diagonal stripe, rarely used by Barça, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item.

It also falls within the first phase of collaboration between Nike and the club, a time when designs began to diversify while maintaining a strong respect for the Blaugrana heritage.
