While some fans have reacted with a thumbs up, most of Barcelona's supporters have blasted the team's alleged kit for the 2019-20 season.
Several users leaked the uniform on Twitter, which has a striking resemblance to the one that has been made famous by the Croatian National Team. Los Blaugranas and their kit sponsor, Nike, seem to have grown tired of the stripes and decided to come up with a new but controversial design for the Spanish giants.
The rumor of a checkered Barcelona home kit had been around for quite some time, but these designs seem to confirm that rumor.

The away kit seemed to have a better reception from fans, since it resembles a design from previous seasons.
Here are some reactions from fans, both supporting and blasting the new designs.
I'm sure Rakitic designed this.
