Barcelona confirmed Sunday that their 2015-16 kit will feature horizontal stripes for the first time in the history of the Catalan club's football team, marking a change from the vertical stripes normally seen at the Camp Nou.

Made by Nike, the shirt also features a yellow collar, the inside of which includes Barcelona's famous logo "More than a Club."

"These new kits are a homage to the club, its fans' passion and its incredible history," said Martin Lotti, creative director at Nike Football. "The kits are the result of a close collaboration between FC Barcelona and Nike and reflect a profound understanding of the unique cultural importance of the club and our shared commitment to revolutionising the sport of football."
