RCD Espanyol Releases Retro-Inspired 1986-93 Away Kit for Next Season

The club brings back its iconic red-and-blue striped design from the late '80s, now with parrot-feather-inspired geometric patterns and recycled fabric. The jersey, already available, has sparked excitement among fans as the team begins pretemporada with 0 points and 0 goals in La Liga (13th place).

What’s New in This Retro Design?

The new kit keeps the red base and blue-and-white sleeve stripes but removes the front panel stripes from the original. The fabric features subtle parrot-feather patterns that emerge upon close inspection, crafted using advanced textile techniques. Gambea, the collaborating brand, emphasizes sustainability with fully recyclable materials.

Why This Design Resonates with Fans

The club’s statement calls it «a tribute to an era and identity that remains relevant.» By stripping front stripes and adding modern finishes, the Espanyol preserves nostalgia while updating the classic. The ‘Rebels d’arrel’ patch on the back reinforces the club’s new branding ethos—blending heritage with innovation.

Pricing and Where to Buy

Prices vary by size and type: - Adult jersey: €84.99 - Adult shorts: €54.99 - Adult long-sleeve: €99.95 Available at the official club store and authorized retailers.
