El Clasico Goes Retro! Barcelona Channels 2005 Brilliance In Next Season’s Jersey

Barcelona are set to launch a special edition jersey for the 2025–26 season, crafted exclusively for their El Clasico clashes, according to kit source Memorabilia1899 on X.

Barcelona are set to unveil their new home kit next week, though leaked images of all three kits for the upcoming season have already circulated widely on social media.

In collaboration with Nike, the club has also developed a special edition jersey exclusively for next season’s La Liga El Clasico matches against Real Madrid. This unique kit pays homage to one of Barça’s most legendary nights — the 3–0 triumph at the Santiago Bernabéu on 19 November 2005.

Inspired by the iconic 2005/06 away strip, the tribute shirt will feature design cues from that memorable clash, when Frank Rijkaard’s side dominated Real Madrid and Ronaldinho delivered a masterclass performance, scoring twice and receiving a rare standing ovation from rival fans. Samuel Eto’o had earlier opened the scoring, setting the stage for an unforgettable night.

According to sources, the kit will incorporate symbolic details such as the exact minutes the goals were scored — 14, 58, and 77 — woven into the fabric.

It remains unclear how the tribute jersey will integrate with the club’s ongoing partnership with Spotify, which has previously produced special-edition designs for El Clasico. More details, including the final look and launch date, are expected soon.
