Season Summary
Barcelona’s Dream Team dominated early 90s La Liga under Johan Cruyff. This away shirt was famously worn in their 5–0 thrashing of Real Madrid at the Bernabéu in January 1994, with Romário scoring a hat-trick. Its bold colour scheme and repeat logo pattern make it one of Kappa’s most iconic designs.

Final Notes
Fakes often lack the correct woven shadow pattern or feature printed elements instead. The Kappa collar tag must include the “HOMOLOGAT F.C. BARCELONA” wording, and the stitching around the crest should be tight and clean. Loose or plasticky materials are also a red flag.
