The FC Barcelona Away shirt in 2013-14 will be in the colours of the Senyera, the flag of the autonomous region of Catalunya (Catalonia) of which Barcelona is the capital.
After the news was leaked yesterday, the club confirmed the move and the shirts are believed to be already in mass production. There is a great sense of national pride towards the Catalan region within the Barça supporter base so the shirt is likely to be very popular. Whilst this was always likely, the style had reportedly been previously avoided due to worries over alienating the club's many fans from outside of Catalunya.

Those worries have now been put to one side and the news has been met warmly, with both local politicians and Barça players expressing their joy at the decision, which coincides with the National Day of Catalunya (La Diada). FC Barcelona is often seen as representing the Catalan nation and the wearing of the flag's colours may solidify this link even further.
The Catalan national side is not officially recognised by Fifa so players rarely have the opportunity to represent their flag, aside from Barça carrying it on the back of the collar over the last few seasons. In recent years Catalan players have been instrumental in the success of the Spanish national team and their region's contribution has been acknowledged in the media. Now they will be able to regularly carry their colours in the guise of Barça.

Yes, you are wrong.
Now call me picky, but the Catalan flag is red and yellow stripes.. not some disgusting orangey colour faded with the yellow. And I can plainly see that without specs.
Napoli is in Campania....
Palermo is in Sicily....
Open a book sometimes.........................!!!
english flag and british flag are two different things
But if it is so good to represent your region why have they only just thought of it. I thought they should have done it with the home kit years ago and sod what other people think. And I'm not Catalan.

Erm no it does not, its on there because there was a few Englishman who founded the club with Swiss and Spanish plus st george is also catalunyas patron saint
And St George (San Jorge) has been the patron saint of Barcelona long before football was invented.
Cool, very cool.
Well done Barca.
At the end of the day it reps the flag so if this is indeed their shirt its done its job with a classic look

Heh. My god those last kits were frigging appalling.

Valencia have been doing this since the 70s, and those stripes represent Aragon and Valencia - 2 groups of people who certainly don't consider themselves Catalan.
This is one for the Barca fan boys in humdrum towns across the world.
Barsa has his own colors and featured strips. NIKE never
understand that. Just have look on last 2 years shirts.
this coming from a 15 year chelsea fan
oficiales/futbol/catalunya. Red cross is really like a second catalan flag.

Really? I think it looks pretty good. But I will only be able to tell for sure when I see the shorts and socks that go with it.
apparently that looks like the jersey they will be wearing. i don't like it that much though...

Espanyol - founded by locals for locals.
Boring & yawn, there's more than one club in Cataunya and the best atmosphere is to be found down in Cornella-el-Prat (fact)
But Espanyol are Spanish inclined, which makes Barça more of a Catalonian club.
Good shout! Good luck Espanyol from Scotland!
Barca - the team of catalans who feel catalans
Espanyol - the team of catalans who feel spanish
Is really, there are more than one club in catalonia, but the people who feel only catalan.. follows barca
Away Shirt: RED and yellow
Good luck with the matches against Man Ut, Arsenal, Liverpool, Benfica, Braga, As Roma, Atlethic Bilbao, Real Mallorca, Atletico Madrid, Osasuna, Rennes, Lille, Reims, Bayern, Bayer Lerverkusen, Stuttgart, Steaua Bucuresti, Olympiakos, CSKA Moscow etc etc
oh, and i'm omitting Lecce because..let's be realistical, that won't happen
i dont even like this years jerseys because they have too little stripes. there should be 7 stripes to match the crest.
