Proposed Barcelona shirt brings negative response

Barcelona's reported decision to change their traditional vertical striped shirts to horizontal ones has been met with opposition.

According to Sport, Nike, who sponsor the club's shirt, want to alter the lines on the new strip for the 2015-16 season.

It is understood that Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has already approved the controversial design, but it has not gone down well with supporters on various social networks.

On the pitch, Barcelona return to action against Huesca in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.
