From Ronaldinho’s Magic to Modern Day Barça
Two decades on from one of the most defining nights in El Clásico history, Nike and FC Barcelona revisit the magic of 2005 with a new 25/26 Fourth Kit. Inspired by the shirt worn when Ronaldinho received a standing ovation at the Bernabéu, this release re-imagines that moment for a new generation.
The shirt nods directly to the navy-blue and deep-crimson stripes of the 2004/05 design, carrying a slightly darker palette that mirrors the atmosphere of that historic away win. It’s the kit of Ronaldinho, Deco, and Eto’o – players who embodied the style that made Barcelona global.
Crafted in Nike Dri-FIT ADV fabric, the shirt features alternating crimson and navy stripes with a thin gradient fade and golden sleeve taping – modern construction layered on nostalgic visuals. The crest sits in full colour, while the Nike Swoosh reappears in gold to echo the tones of 2005’s trim.
The Nike × FC Barcelona 25/26 Fourth Kit is available now on nike.com, FC Barcelona stores and select retailers. A tribute to the 2005 Clásico triumph – a moment that defined an era, and a design that still commands respect two decades later.
