With every new season comes a new kit, and bitter rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona decided to take their rivalry to the next level by unveiling their jerseys for the 2020-21 season on the same day.
Los Culés were the first to show off their threads on social media. The Catalan side had already unveiled their home kit and were even ready to start selling it, but an ongoing dispute with American kit manufacturer Nike delayed its release. The away kit Los Blaugranas will wear next season will see them dressed in black with gold trim, resembling the one they used during the start of the 2010s.

Hours later, the 2019-29 La Liga champions showed the world what they will be wearing next season. Their home kit had few changes, mainly the color of their trim, but their away kit will see the pink color returning to Los Blancos' jersey.

Although both kits are out and both sides will be playing UEFA Champions League games next season, it seems highly unlikely to see them wearing these kits in their upcoming matches.
