Rep to those who posted the barca info on this page. Why is the away kit so hideous :x
The away shirt or Senyera shirt is one of the most significant shirts ever for Barca specially Catalans or Cules as it has the colors of the Catalan flag. It's almost a political statement for Catalans & you can be sure many Cules will be proud to wear that shirt. I really like the new kits. I don't wear footy shirts as I think I'm too old but I get my son as many shirts as I can.

Knowledge gained. Didnt even consider that. With that being said I still couldnt buy it since it has no meaning to me. Would anyone mind explaining to me more about the Catalan/Spain rift? I do like the 3rd alternate kit though. Thanks again.
Props on that Catalan info.
So, is there any players on the current Barca team that solely identifies himself as a Catalan or exudes Catalan nationalism?
So not to derail this thread & since I mentioned Athletic Bilbao, here are their new shirts for 2013-2014.

Jeez HotSauce23, you asked a deep question for a footy thread.
Think of Catalonia to Spain like Scotland is to England. Also Catalan the language is much different from Spanish. Catalan is not a dialect of Spanish. If I remember correctly, Catalan has more in common with French then it does the Spanish language. There are 9 or 10 million people that speak Catalan. Also, those that speak Catalan also speak Spanish.
The roots of Catalan nationalism actually date back to the 1600-1700s or so & intensified under the fascist rule of Franco who outlawed any Catalan cultural identity including Catalan celebrations & the language itself. There were periods of time Barcelona were barred from playing in competition for as long as six months under the Franco regime.
There were referendums some time ago (2007, 2008, or 2009?) that granted Catalonia some autonomy. They even have their own police force. The movement to actual independence is growing stronger. I think I read there is another referendum coming in 2014.
How does this relate to FC Barcelona? The club was started in 1899 made up of the team & club supporters that were registered members that helped the team economically (funding everything from the team salaries to it's first large capacity stadium in 1922). These members were comprised of Catalans.
During the civil war in the early or mid 1900s, some players, executives, & members for the Blaugrana & Athletic Bilbao went on to fight against the military uprising that occurred in Spain. There were times where the team was shut down by the Spanish government for long periods of time.
It's this history that gave birth to the club motto "Més que un club" (More than a club).
There is a lot of detail I didn't go over, but that's kinda of it in a nutshell. If I left anything out or if any NTers feel they need to clarify anything I wrote, please feel free to.
Looking to either get the CTR360's or the NitroCharge's. Any one plays in either of these?
Currently playing in T90 Laser IV and looking for some new cleats.
Those are nice infam0usP. Is that a prototype of final version?
