Barca have a mixed record against teams wearing all white/white shirted.
5-5 I make it overall and a record of 3-3 against all white.

Well Chelsea wore all yellow at the Camp Nou this season and a couple of seasons ago wore all white and it didn’t do them any harm.

Hello Sam! All white can give the team an heroic feel – but you’re quite right it can also signalise surrender! Never thought of it like that before.

When I saw United were to play in white against Barca, I just knew they would lose. I truly believe the white shirt contributed to United’s ’surrender-like’ downfall that night.

UEFA’s stupid rules made Barça’s halved kit look terribly disfigured from the back, I mean, on the shirt they wear in La Liga the number is very easy to see, so why the silly enforcement? Least Barça are returning to stripes for next season though!

I agree with matt regarding the United badge,it doesnt stand out on the shirt at all,and its not since the new badge with ‘football club’ removed occured,it started when umbro took over from adidas.The old badges had a white background behind the devils shield,when umbro took over the white background went,the badge blended into the shirt.
And i agree with mr devlin regarding the adidas days,you knew where you stood in those days…red,white and black for home kits,white/black and white for aways and all blue for games at soton etc.

Didn’t United have a white kit with black and gold trim the other year? That was really nice and perhaps the blue trim this year is just so they aren’t too similar.

Favourite Barca kit? The Romario Kappa effort from the nineties with the aqua/green away kit. Wonderful.

Totally agree Mark. That was indeed a classic. That said, I do quite like the Barca halves…I thought their Centenary shirt looked very nice.
As for Man U’s kit, I’ve found the Nike ones very disappointing…and the one with the white stripe up the back always looked to me like the label was sticking out at the top.

For me the best Barca kit was the classic ‘Meyba’ kit from the Lineker & Hughes era. Whatever happened to Meyba kits?
