FC Barcelona will wear new insignias on their shirt as five time winners of the Champions League

Two new badges will identify the blaugranes as the current Champions League holders

The Barça first team shirts on sale currently at the FCBarcelona official shop have something special about them. The jersey that Barça will use for this season’s Champions League will have some new elements that are sure to delight fans all around the world. After claiming their fifth victory in the competition on 6 June in the Olympiastadion in Berlin, two new insignias on the shirt identify the blaugranes as the current holders. The first is the logo of the European Cup with a 2015 in the centre that goes on the right sleeve.

The second is more noteworthy and can be found on the left sleeve. The victory over Juventus in the final in Berlin handed FC Barcelona their fifth win in their history in the competition, adding to those of 1992, 2006, 2009 and 2011. This feat means that Barça get to keep the trophy for ever and that the Club is permitted to wear an insignia on their shirts that identify them as a member of an exclusive club of teams who have claimed the trophy on at least five occasions, or have won it on three successive occasions. Barça can now join a list that includes Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Liverpool and Ajax.

Aside from the two insignias, Barça will continue to wear the ‘Respect’ logo as they have done in recent seasons as part of the UEFA campaign to promote positive values in the game. This will accompany the insignia of the five Champions League wins just below on the left sleeve.

After just a few hours of availability, the new shirt with the badges in the official shop has been very well received by the fans at Camp Nou.
