• The launch of the uniform took place on July 29, 2025.

The football club Barcelona has introduced a new away uniform for the 2025-26 season, which is dedicated to the legendary NBA player Kobe Bryant. This uniform was developed in collaboration with Nike and the Bryant brand, and instead of the usual Nike logo, it now displays the Kobe Shield, symbolizing his legacy.

As the club indicates, the new uniform is executed in colors inspired by the Los Angeles Lakers, which emphasizes the connection to Bryant. The primary colors of the uniform are light gold, purple, and black, while the texture mimics snake skin, referencing his alter ego Black Mamba.

The launch of the new uniform took place on July 29, 2025, while the official premiere is scheduled for July 31 during the match of the preseason tour in Seoul. This uniform is part of a three-way collaboration between the club and the Bryant brand, which also includes special sneakers, training apparel, and various sports equipment.

A video for the launch of the uniform, titled "Mamba Rondo," showcases Barcelona players performing drills that symbolize the dedication to excellence, akin to Bryant and the club.
