Barça presents the fourth shirt to honor the victory at the Bernabéu in 2005: “It appeals to history and art” | Football | Sport

FC Barcelona have announced that this season they will have a fourth kit that pays homage to the 0-3 victory against Real Madrid on 19 November 2005. That match saw goals from Samuel Eto’o and Ronaldinho, which appear on a shirt that is part of the “Football is art” campaign and is now available on the club’s online sales platform, in Barça’s Botigues and on the Nike website.

“FC Barcelona will have a fourth kit this season that appeals to history and art,” explains the club. Which is why the Blaugrana present a new official uniform which, as they insist in a press release, serves to reclaim “one of the most memorable masterpieces of the contemporary ‘culer’ imagination: the 0-3 at the Bernabéu on 19 November 2005”.

Precisely this Wednesday, November 19th, marks 20 years since that victory against Real Madrid. The new shirt features the Blaugrana stripes vertically but deconstructed, a non-random detail. The lines are inspired by the trajectory of the ball in each of the three goals scored that evening: the first by Eto’o and the next two by Ronaldinho.

Inside the neck, three circles highlight the minutes in which those goals were scored: 14, 58 and 77. And on the outside, a detail of the senyera complete the drawing. The pants are brown with a blue stripe down the side of each leg.

With the preview of this fourth shirt, Barça launched the “Football is art” campaign. To celebrate this fusion between football, sport and fashion, a video was broadcast on the Club’s social networks starring Rashford, Bardghji, Balde, Marc Bernal, Alexia, Aitana and Ona, in which they enter the painting workshop of an imaginary artist.

“The piece revolves around the concept that football offers moments that cannot be explained in words. Goals that are not only celebrated, they are remembered. Creations of athletes who paint their masterpieces on the canvas of the playing field. And that Clásico was more than a game,” explained the Catalan club.
