shirt

The red and blue vertical stripes have been the jersey of FC Barcelona since the club was founded. Since then, the design of the jersey has changed little, only the width, number and color intensity of the vertical stripes varied from season to season. Meanwhile, the color of the pants changed noticeably, so the pants were white for the first eleven years, later black and from the 1920s onwards blue. Selected historical jerseys are shown below.

coat of arms

• 

  1899–1910: The first coat of arms of FC Barcelona was based on the city coat of arms.

  1910–1939: The first forerunner of today's coat of arms was created as part of a competition.

• 

  1939–1949: Franco ordered the removal of "Catalan": two red and yellow stripes disappeared and the initials were Hispanicized in C. de FB (Club de fútbol).

• 

  1949–1974: On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the association, the association was able to place the Catalan flag in the logo again and change the initials to CFB .

• 

  1974–2002: In the last few years of Franco, the club was allowed to use the Catalan name form again and the original initials could be reintroduced on the logo.

• 

  2002 – today: The last stylistic changes were made in 2002.

These also include Paulino Alcántara , who scored more goals than anyone else at FC Barcelona (but many of them in friendly matches).    
4. ↑ The highest friendly win was a 20: 1 against the Dutch village club Smilde.
5. ↑ 1903 in the 13: 0 against Club X in the Copa Barcelona , in 1902 in the 13: 0 against Franco-Español in the Copa Macaya and in 1901 in the 18: 0 against Tarragona in the Copa Macaya
6. ↑ ^{a b} Alcántara scored three goals in his first game against FC Català (9-0) in the Catalan championship.
7. ↑ For the stadiums Camp del Carrer Indústria and Camp de Les Corts , different stadium capacities are sometimes given. The capacity was therefore generally only specified to the nearest five hundred.
8. ↑ In 1901, FC Barcelona also played a few home games at Camp de la Plaça d'Armas .
9. ↑ Some sources state that the capacity was only 1,500 between 1909 and 1916. This corresponds exactly to the capacity of the main stand.
10. ↑ The official club magazine (Revista Barça) published the following z. Some of the numbers differ significantly: 22,000 (1922), 32,000 (1942), 37,000 (1943), 43,000 (1945), 48,000 (1946)
11. ↑ At the time of the two finals, his successor Enric Rabassa was the team's coach.
12. ↑ Since Johan Cruyff had to undergo a heart operation, Rexach took over his post on an interim basis for 6 league game days.
13. ↑ After the murder of Josep Sunyol , a “committee of employees” was set up to take over the management of the association and to ensure that no one else could do it.
14. ↑ As a tribute to Josep Sunyol, who was murdered by Francoist soldiers on August 6, 1936 , the board decided to regard the deceased as the "absent" President of FC Barcelona.
15. ↑ After the end of the Spanish Civil War , the regime around Franco ordered the creation of a new executive commission, of which Joan Soler became chairman. Some members of this body were appointed by the regime to monitor the activities of the association.
16. ^ After Enrique Piñeyro's resignation, Josep Vidal-Ribas was appointed chairman of an interim commission. However, the regime rejected Enrique Piñeyro's resignation, so that Piñeyro had to take office again after just 33 days.
17. ↑ After the resignation of the entire board of directors around Enric Reyna, the club statutes provided for an interim management committee. The committee consisted of 14 members, of which Joan Trayter was president, and ran the business until next month's elections.
18. ↑ A court ruling stated that Joan Laporta's term of office expired on June 30, 2006. The Barça board then resigned and a commission headed by Xavier Sala-i-Martín took over the management. Their task was to call a new presidential election, for which only Joan Laporta was a candidate.
