Barcelona unveils new home kit; ugly horizontal stripes are official

Sorry, fellas. There's no escaping the horizontal kits.

Nike and Barcelona have unveiled the club's new kit for the 2015/16 season, and it is... well... ugly. The historical vertical stripes are out, and the new home kit now has four maroon horizontal stripes, which Nike says resembles the famous flags that we generally see at Camp Nou.

Which would be a good excuse to change an entire history of kits, if these were actually good looking uniforms. But they're not. Not even close. Or am I crazy?

I mean, come on, man. The shorts, the stripes.
