Barcelona Unveils New Away Kit in Collaboration with Kobe Brand
Barcelona has officially launched their new away kit for the 2026-27 season, marking the second phase of their collaboration with the Kobe Bryant signature brand.
The LaLiga champions describe the black and purple kit as embodying Bryant’s renowned “Mamba Mentality.” This philosophy, created by the legendary NBA star, emphasizes ambition, focus, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
The new design retains many elements from the 2025-26 Barça x Mamba Mentality away kit, incorporating the signature color scheme of purple, black, and gold, colors that resonate with Bryant’s storied career with the LA Lakers.
In a departure from the traditional Nike Swoosh, the kit prominently features Bryant’s three-horned Mamba logo on the chest. Additionally, the shirt boasts a knitted weave pattern inspired by snakeskin, alongside a striking iridescent silicone club crest stamped with a snakeskin texture.
The kit showcases a visually appealing color gradient transitioning from black to purple, accented by brushed gold sponsor logos. Hidden within the collar is an inspirational quote from Bryant urging the wearer to “Leave the game better than you found it.”
With eight members of the Spain squad, including Ferran Torres, who scored the winning goal in the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup final, Barça is certainly embodying this motto.
