Barcelona fans create 'largest human jersey' in New York's Bryant Park


Thousands of Barcelona fans gathered to create a giant mosaic of Barcelona's new home shirt on Saturday, spanning the length of Brant Park in New York City. The club said it was the "largest human soccer jersey" ever made -- apparently just breaking the previous record held by Sutton United's Wayne Shaw. Over 4,000 fans took part in the event, ahead of the Catalan club's first game on their U.S. tour on Saturday night at MetLife Stadium in nearby New Jersey.



Club president Josep Bartomeu and CEO Oscar Grau were also in attendance, as well as former star players Juliano Belletti and Thierry Henry. While on their preseason tour in the United States Barca are carrying out a number of initiatives to connect with supporters. Further events are then planned for Washington, where Barca play Manchester United on July 26, and Miami, where they will face Clasico rivals Real Madrid on July 29 before heading back to Spain.
