Its my favourite chelsea shirt yet !! http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/717/22832910150237704441477.jpg/ Im getting David Luiz On This Shirt and buying another one for Kaka at the end of the season But will donate a shirt to a charity at the end of next season!
May 12, 201114 yr It is a beaut. Haven't bought one for a while now, as I generally can't condone shelling out for them, but I may make an exception here.
May 12, 201114 yr Why are you getting one with Kakas name? :P Yeah...explain please..you know something we don't???? :(
May 13, 201114 yr Why are you getting one with Kakas name? :P Better to get it on a shirt than tattoo'd on your back I guess #mancityfail
May 13, 201114 yr Well i thought id like it ,but in the flesh ,not overly struck by it.....but ill see durinng the next few weeks,whether i will purchase it,or wait for the away shirt
May 14, 201114 yr Not anything to do with the new strip, but can anybody advise where to get my hands on one of our old tangerine and graphite shirts?

May 14, 201114 yr I'm not that keen on it to be honest, i'd love us to go back to our proper royal blue shirts rather than the slightly lighter blue we have now, anyone else think the club should give us fans a vote on our new kits?

Great - thanks for the link, didnt know that site existed! and they have XL (it wouldnt be a pretty site me squeezing into a L !)
May 15, 201114 yr Great - thanks for the link, didnt know that site existed! and they have XL (it wouldnt be a pretty site me squeezing into a L !) No problems - I quite want the Red/White Chequered kit but can't really justify spending £70 odd on it!
May 15, 201114 yr Hate the new kit! It's the wrong shade of blue, there's too much white in the shirts, can't stand the Adidas stripes, and I hate any hoop design! Whoever is responsible for this kit design should be taken out and shot.

May 15, 201114 yr The emphasis is all Adidas: The Brand With The Three Stripes. The players wearing the kit are just incidental to it's advertising value.
May 15, 201114 yr Not really overawed with it to be honest. But I always hate the new kit for the first few months.
May 15, 201114 yr Not really overawed with it to be honest. But I always hate the new kit for the first few months. I often hate the kit when I see it on the official site for the first time, but it usually looks much better when I see the players wear it in a match. Not this time. I think it looked even worse today. I'm not sure which looked worse, the kit or the team, though.
May 15, 201114 yr The emphasis is all Adidas: The Brand With The Three Stripes. The players wearing the kit are just incidental to it's advertising value. Totally agree - watching the game today i was thinking that Chelsea FC are an adjunct of Adidas. Way too much triple stripiness on the shoulders.
May 15, 201114 yr Totally agree - watching the game today i was thinking that Chelsea FC are an adjunct of Adidas. Way too much triple stripiness on the shoulders. It's not the stripes that I hate, it's the excessive white around them.
May 15, 201114 yr Not keen but we'll see. I'm getting one anyway cus I'm a sucker for new kits. A marketing man's ideal fan...especially when it's first outing was so dire.
May 15, 201114 yr It's not the stripes that I hate, it's the excessive white around them. Yeah I was thinking the same. Doesn't help when you are playing a team in white.
May 15, 201114 yr The thing is that all that white emphasises the three stripes, i.e. the puts over-emphasis on Adidas branding.
