Barcelona have unveiled their new away kit - and takes inspiration from their La Masia academy and their iconic 1979 strip.

The Spanish champions have revealed the yellow jersey, which has blue and red diagonal stripes.

It also features blue and red on the trim of the sleeves, which a Catalonia flag on the back of the unique V-neck of the collar, emphasising the links between Barcelona and their home region.

The colour of the shorts are not confirmed, however.
