Meyba had a significant partnership with FC Barcelona during the 1980s, becoming the club’s official kit supplier starting in 1981. Here are the key points about this partnership:The partnership lasted from 1981 to 1992, encompassing one of the most successful periods in Barcelona’s history.During the ten years that Barcelona wore Meyba kits, they won numerous trophies including the Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, Copa de la Liga, and most notably, the 1992 UEFA Champions League. The 1992 Champions League win was especially memorable, with Ronald Koeman scoring the decisive goal against Sampdoria at Wembley.Players like Michael Laudrup, Ronald Koeman, José Mari Bakero, and a young Pep Guardiola played in Meyba kits, contributing to the era’s achievements. Other notable figures include Gary Lineker and Hristo Stoichkov in later years of this partnership.Meyba kits were known for their bold designs and use of color, which became iconic. The orange shirt from the 1992 Champions League final is particularly remembered. This period helped Meyba gain worldwide prominence, linking the brand closely with the “Dream Team” narrative of Barcelona.Meyba’s association with Barcelona during this time period is not just about sports apparel but also about cultural heritage in football. The kits from this era have since become highly collectible, with some rare items like the 1982 home shirt occasionally appearing in vintage markets for significantly lower than their market value.Although Meyba’s partnership with Barcelona ended in 1992 when Barcelona switched to Kappa, the brand’s legacy during this decade remains strong, contributing to its revival and continued nostalgia among football fans and collectors. Meyba has since re-released some of its iconic designs from this period, leveraging the nostalgia and historical significance of those kits.#barcelona #meyba #laliga
