Our personal favorites
The five shirts above are all home shirts, so we'll list our personal favorite away shirts here.
Barcelona 2005-2006 Away Shirt
Most fans will likely recognize the 2005-2006 away shirt. The striking neon yellow shirt. This is one of our favorites because of the striking color and the period when Ronaldinho was at his peak. Furthermore, a young Messi was increasingly emerging from Ronaldinho's shadow.
Barcelona 1991-1992 Away Shirt
The away shirt from the 1991-92 season. In this season, and in this shirt, the European Cup was won for the first time. Under the leadership of coach Johan Cruyff and captain Ronald Koeman, Barcelona won the final against Sampdoria. Most people will recognize the images of Ronald Koeman scoring the winner in extra time. A historic moment for the club. That's what makes this shirt iconic. Therefore, we believe it deserves at least an honorable mention.
