FC Barcelona is a football club based around passion, identity and pride. The Catalan club takes many initiatives to protect their Catalonian identity and authority. Barcelona has their own way of playing football. In 1973, Johan Cruyff joined Barcelona on a record transfer fee of around 1 million euros. Former Ajax coach Rinus Michels also joined the Blaugrana. With Cruyff up front, spreading his ideology and leadership, Barcelona won LaLiga again for the first time in 14 years. He made the blueprint for modern football and created it at Barcelona. After Cruyff retired as a football player, he came back as manager and won them their first Champions League in 1992. This Barcelona team was often referred to as ''the dream team'', with key players like Ronald Koeman, Stoichkov and Pep Guardiola.
Barcelona is known for their iconic football shirts. Their home shirts always have the Blaugrana colors and often appear with vertical stripes or two base colors on the left and right. The Barcelona 1999/00 and 2014/15 home shirts are among their most popular and sought-after football shirts. Mostly because of their prestigious seasons, and clean and classic design. The 2014/15 Barcelona squad once again revolutionized the sport by coming up with a new way of playing football. Key players in this squad were Xavi, Iniesta and Lionel Messi. The last one will always be remembered as the face of FC Barcelona, together with Johan Cruyff.
These football shirts will always remain popular as the club has reached new heights with their Nike partnership; creating all-timer football shirts, paired with historic footballing season, both in Europa and Spain.
