As if the financial consequences of the Corona crisis for FC Barcelona were not bad enough, Nike, the long-standing partner of all time, is now causing an additional shortfall in Catalan coffers. We are talking about a million dollars. In fact, FC Barcelona’s new jerseys should have been on the market a long time ago and filled the club’s coffers. However, a production error by Nike led to a million-fold recall of the jerseys
. According to a source not mentioned by name, the defect is “an aesthetic problem that has nothing to do with the quality of the product”.
The exact nature of the problem is unknown. The fact is that FC Barcelona had to suspend the sale of jerseys and may not be able to offer the new model on the market until autumn, according to Spanish media reports.
Does the Nike error cost 25 million euros?
