The purple second kit is designed to send a message of female empowerment

FC Barcelona will wear its new away kit for the first time in tonight's friendly against Girona at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.

The shirt is predominantly purple - a mixture of red and blue, representing the fight for gender equality - but also features flashes of its traditional 'blaugrana' colours. This year's away strip was presented as part of the club's 'Més que' [More than] campaign, under the banner 'Més que génere' [More than gender].

The blue and red stripes down the side of the shirt include the masculine and feminine versions of the phrase 'Tots units fem força', which is a lyric from the club's anthem meaning "together we are stronger". This highlights the club's huge commitment to female sport.
