Players have expressed dissatisfaction with the jersey prepared by Nike for Barcelona for the upcoming season.
The first match Barcelona played in this jersey was against Japan’s Vissel Kobe last week. After that, players have complained about the heaviness of the jersey. Brazilian forward Raphinha was the player who complained the most about this in the changing room.
The player who performed well for Barcelona last season said that compared to the jersey Nike prepared for the Brazilian national team, Barcelona’s jersey is much more uncomfortable.
In addition to the heaviness of the jersey, players have said that there are difficulties due to the jersey not fitting well and its poor design when worn.
Due to this, Barcelona’s management has now decided to consult with Nike. This is after coach Hansi Flick also said the jersey was not good, following listening to the players’ concerns.
He said that the jersey should not be an additional burden for players to carry on the field. Therefore, the jersey needs to be designed in a way that is comfortable for players now.
Nike has been preparing jerseys for Barcelona for many years. And the agreement between these two parties for jersey preparation has been renewed with greater benefits for the club compared to before.
