Not sure what their fans reaction is but can't imagine any club's supporters would be happy with their identity being shaped around a sponsor's whim.

Reportedly Nike have proposed a design with horizontal stripes for Barca's next home kit.

 

Cos sales of the last ones are down, since a new kit with vertical stripes can only be so different.

 

I guess this explains that horrific effort they had a few years ago with the really narrow stripes. Differentiate from the previous kit in order to encourage sales.

Much as it goes against my natural instincts to give them the benefit of the doubt, the evidence is only the logo displayed on the Credit Card as far as I can tell. I can perhaps understand a little more that the Bank itself requested the slight change for what was being shown on THEIR product. That doesn't mean that RM will change the logo on their own kit. Although, it wouldn't surprise me, the fraudulent, money-grabbing crypto-fascist b*****ds.

The original badge (with the cross) will still be used in all competitive games played in Europe - appears a bit of a non-issue really.
