Barcelona have revealed their iconic away shirt for the 2019-20 season, which draws inspiration from La Masia and the club's 1979 kit.
The new yellow jersey features red and blue diagonal stripes from the right shoulder down and is available to buy at Camp Nou from Monday night, with fans all over the world able to purchase in the usual outlets from Tuesday morning.
"The FC Barcelona away kit for the 2019-20 season pays tribute to La Masia, the youth academy that is currently synonymous with teamwork, young talents and the future of the club, on the 40th anniversary of the the creation of this famous residence for players at the historic country farmstead of Can Planes," Barca said on their website.
"The new jersey will be yellow, with a diagonal stripe in the traditional 'blaugrana' colours, in a throwback to the away kit worn by Barça in 1979."

The new design is already popular with fans online, with reaction at a complete contrast to that received by the home shirt, which has drawn huge criticism for moving away from the traditional stripes to a chequered pattern for 2019-20.
"It's really nice. I like the stripes, I like the colours," midfielder Frenkie de Jong said in a video posted by Barca on Twitter in which he opens a box to take a look at the new kit. "It's really cool."
