Description
FC Barcelona home shirt as worn in the 1980s (seasons 1981-1989).
Meyba became Barcelona’s sportswear manufacturer from 1981. On the internet often people state this shirt as a 1984-1989 shirt, but it was used from 1981! Epic shirt from one of the greatest clubs in the world.
The Meyba logo and the Barcelona club patch have swapped places on this shirt. The previous owner switched them around because, I believe, of a hole on the right side of the chest. The unstitching of the logo is still a bit visible on the shirt.
In the 1980s, Barcelona was building toward greatness. Between 1981 and 1989 the club won important trophies: they lifted the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1981–82, and claimed the La Liga title in 1984–85 — one of the few league wins in that period. The club changed visually too: the famous blaugrana striped home shirt with the then‑new kit maker Meyba became the symbol of the era. This period also saw big names wearing the shirt — legends like Diego Maradona, Gary Lineker and Steven Archibald added flair and international appeal to the club.
