Frequently they were either laced up at the neck or more commonly fitted with a few buttons.In the 30s the club wore all blue shirts – a choice that lasted for most of the decade.

Yellow was a popular choice with the fans and it stayed with the team for almost two decades. The most interesting change though happened in the 50s. As the club matured, the rivalry with the capital based Real Madrid intensified and white was the colour of the Madrid team. The colours of FC Barcelona are blue and garnet (deep red). Additionally, during the second meeting of FC Barcelona board members the player director Arthur Witty allegedly proposed the club colours based on the shirts of the Merchant Taylor’s School rugby team in Liverpool which he represented a few years before. Their jerseys are traditionally striped blue and red and their shorts are blue. The letters (originally FCB) were changed to CFB in 1941, after the coming to power of Franco, when the club was forced to use the Spanish version of the name. A version of light blue jersey was introduced to the Blaugrana’s away uniforms next – a colour that would prove to be popular and would also make regular appearances every now and then throughout the later seasons.The current version of the crest is based on an adaptation made by designer Claret Serrahima in 2002. The shirts of those times were almost always long sleeved and often had collars. The most common hues have been blue, red, yellow, orange and even green. The team plays its home games draped in the club colours. Some of the most remembered were winning the inaugural season of Primera División (La Liga) in 1929, various Campionat de Catalunya triumphs and finally the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1979.In 1910, shortly after the club was saved from its first serious crisis, a decision was made to give the club its own special crest.
