PSG has Michael Jordan, now Barcelona has Kobe Bryant.
The Blaugrana club has unveiled its second shirt for the 2025/26 season, featuring the 'Kobe Sheath' instead of the Nike 'swoosh'.
Barcelona's merchandising is expanding rapidly this summer.
In addition to the range linked to the Cat mascot and Lamine Yamal's new 10 shirt, the club is unveiling a new outdoor kit.
"FC Barcelona and Nike have signed a bold and emblematic partnership," states the official press release published on Tuesday.
"The second shirt of the 2025/26 season will replace the 'swoosh' to incorporate the 'Kobe Sheath', the emblematic sword scabbard of Kobe Bryant's brand.
"This collaboration between the NBA legend's brand and FC Barcelona was born out of Bryant's shared culture of sporting excellence and is rooted in FC Barcelona's DNA.
"This new step strengthens the union between Nike and FC Barcelona, with the aim of extending the influence of the Mamba Mentality and inspiring new generations of athletes both on and off the court.
"The 'Kobe Sheath' will be visible for three seasons, until 2028.
