Barcelona's 2016/17 Home Kit Will Return to Vertical Stripes

FC Barcelona's foray into horizontal stripes will be a short one, with the Liga club confirming they will revert back to the more traditional vertical stripes from next season, per AS English.

The hooped kit has been hit-and-miss with fans this year, and from the start of the 2016/17 campaign, the Catalan giants will wear a new shirt drawing inspiration from the club's first Champions League victory in 1991-92.

They last wore vertical stripes in their treble-winning 2014-15 season.

Their 2016-17 strip will feature a plum purple away kit with pink motifs, while the third kit will be turquoise.

Luis Enrique's side will look to add to their lead atop La Liga against Deportivo on Saturday afternoon.
