Barcelona's kits for the 2018/19 season have been doing the rounds, with the reliable Footy Headlines posting images of the designs and details of how the Blaugrana will be looking next term, where they should go in as La Liga winners barring a huge collapse.
For starters, the design on the home shirt will be different from this season's - with the main difference being that the stripes do not fade and there is a shared value in terms of the red and blue colour scheme - a contrast to the predominantly blue design currently sported by Lionel Messi and company.
The design is perhaps most similar to the striped design from 2011/12 campaign, which was the final season in charge for Pep Guardiola.

However, the key difference going into next season, as per Footy Headlines, is that the shorts won't be red or blue as they have been in recent years - instead the kit is harking back to the first couple of Nike kits.

Nike began tailoring the Blaugrana in 1998, taking over from Kappa. For the first couple of seasons, Barcelona's signature red and blue colours on the home shirt was paired with dark navy shorts and socks - and that will be the case once again ten years on.

As for the away kit in 2018/19, that will also bring back one of the most popular designs for Barca fans, as the fluorescent 'volt' colour looks set to be make a return. Barca wore those colours with distinction in 2005/06, when they won La Liga and the Champions League under Frank Rijkaard.

Finally, there won't be much, if any change when it comes to the third kit, as a maroon/pink design is again expected to be the choice for the Catalan club.
