FC Barcelona Away 2012/13 Messi #10 – (9/10) (L)
Jersey history
FC Barcelona’s 2012/13 away shirt fades from strong orange at the shoulders to bright yellow at the hem, with a dotted transition in the middle. The dark-blue Nike logo and Qatar Foundation sponsor contrast with this gradient, which continues on the back.
This size L retail version carries Messi #10. It also features LFP and TV3 sleeve details and a gold “FIFA World Champions 2011” chest badge, whose wording is clearly visible in the photographs.
Shirt history
The model belongs to Tito Vilanova’s 2012/13 season. Barça won La Liga with 100 points and 115 goals, while reaching the semi-finals of both the Champions League and Copa del Rey.
Messi’s nameset fits the period: he finished as La Liga’s top scorer with 46 goals. The official 2012/13 season report also records 11 league goals for Fàbregas and ten for Villa.
This away shirt tells the season’s story through a palette far from the home kit. Orange and yellow cover almost the whole surface, framed by dark-blue lettering. The chest badge explicitly bears the date 2011: it is a detail of this example, distinct from the model’s 2012/13 season.
Messi, number 10 and UNICEF share the same dark colour on the back. This consistency is as much part of the shirt’s visual balance as the gradient itself.

Why we like it at Maillots Market
We like the bold gradient that gives this shirt an immediate identity. It works from both front and back, with dark markings providing enough contrast to keep the design readable.
Messi #10 fits the design and connects it to a season in which he was central to the Spanish title. The sleeve details and gold badge add interest without obscuring the defining feature: an away palette far removed from the usual blue and garnet, associated with a specific Barça season.
