The uniforms of Barcelona players in the FC Seoul-FC Barcelona held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 31st were weird somewhere. Obviously, Nike’s product was engraved with an unfamiliar blade -shaped logo instead of the familiar Nike ‘Wushi’ logo. It is a new expedition uniform in Barcelona in 2025-26, which was created in collaboration with the legendary basketball player and Kobe Bryant.
This season, Barcelona expedition uniforms have a meaning to celebrate Bryant. On the right side of the uniform chest is the symbol of Kobe’s ‘Sheath Logo’. Gold, purple and black details were inspired by the LA Lakers’ uniform color, which Kobe has been active for 20 years. “The uniform material is also special. It contains a snake leather texture as a whole, which is a nickname of Kobe’s nickname ‘Black Mamba’.”

Why did Bryant appear in the Barcelona uniform? According to Barcelona, it originated from the extraordinary affection for Kobe’s football and a special relationship with Barsa. Kobe has been playing soccer for eight years in Italy as a child, and has selected AC Milan and FC Barcelona as the favorite team. He freely speaks Spanish and Italian and visited Barcelona Training Center several times in active duty. In fact, in 2006, 2010, and 2015, he visited the Barsa Squad during the US tour, and also had a deep interaction with Ronalginho and Lionel Messi. Kobe recalled in an interview with ESPN in the past, “Ronalginho introduced me to me and said,” I’m the best player to be the world’s best player in the future. “

This collaboration is the first official partnership with Kobe brand with a soccer club. Previously, Barcelona was the first to collaborate with the US University basketball team wearing Kobe brand products. Barcelona signed a contract with Nike last year to extend its partnership by 2038, and as part of this, collaboration with Kobe brand was made. The uniform will be used until the 2027-28 season.
When Barcelona was delivered in January 2020, Kobe’s helicopter accident was delivered, the entire team had a silence before the training, and the entire Spanish league participated in the memorial mood.
