Barcelona Unveil Modernised Club Crest

Barcelona have unveiled their new club crest.

The Catalan giants are keeping up with modern times by changing the clubs crest.

Last updated in 2002, Barcelona have taken to social media to reveal the new modernised look:

"This evolution stays faithful to the historical elements of the crest: the city, Barcelona; the country, Catalonia; the club, the 'blaugrana' colours; and the ball," an official statement reads.

"But the new design now has greater reproduction capacity, especially in the increasingly more important world of digital media.

"The most striking changes are an increase in the balance and impact of the team colours, the greater presence of a central and iconic element of the Barça style of play, namely the ball, the homogenisation of the forms and colours, and the disappearance of the FCB acronym."

Some fans reckon Lionel Messi's face should be on Barcelona's crest. He is the face of the club to be fair.
