May 6, 201610 yr I can think of a few better things to spend £90 on Can't see many paying £90 quid unless they play football regularly.
May 6, 201610 yr Who the hell would pay £90 for those ones ? anything that tight must be incredibly uncomfortable. It's actually been changed for a few seasons now, players always wore 1 or 2 sizes bigger than their actual size so it becomes a regular non tight fit, if you look at Arsenal's current kit, that's what it was supposed to look like if you wore the correct size, like freaking spandex. The current one is Adizero rather than techfit, it's basically shaped for athletes rather than a one shape fits all like the replica. When you see our players wear the replicas they never look like the right size, same for me too, S is too small, M is too baggy, although it varies season from season.
May 6, 201610 yr Bring back the Jade Green away kit from the late 80's :-D It still wasn't worse than that awful grey and orange one. Bloody hated that. I quite liked the Jade green. Only shirt i ever wore out that it had to be binned and would love to buy another one but cannot find one. As for the grey and tangerine....!! I still have complete with a fag burn hole in the chest but my god it is horrible. New shirt. Ok nothing special. Will still get it though.
May 6, 201610 yr Can you imagine waltzing up to the boys with the £90 version top. 'Check this out boys, isnt this cool' "YOUUUUU MUUUGY LITTTTTLE CAAAAANT" Edited May 6, 201610 yr by Zola
May 6, 201610 yr Good: They took the stripes off the sleeves Bad: They put them down the sides Gonna have to see the look of the lions in person tho.

I have a jade green shirt, found one in a size small to my amazement, not cheap at all.
May 6, 201610 yr It's a shame that our shirt sponsors have such an awful name .....with a cr*p logo ! I can't wait till their shirt deal ends.........imo...Chelsea fc should be a bit more choosy next time..........I didn't mind Samsung, as everybody has heard of them, but who the Fcuk has heard of a Japanese tyre company FFS ! I would rather the club receive a few million less and go for a classier sponsor name and better logo !
May 6, 201610 yr THe Tech Fit is the "authentic" ones like the players wear. It's $90 and the club made a statement that they know there is a small demographic that has demanded official jerseys. You can still get the replica one for $55 Also, the Red is fine. We've had flashes of red previously (hell, we even had a red top one season), but I don't mind it as it's a hat tip to the Chelsea Pensioners.
May 6, 201610 yr Well £90 might put off anyone over 12 wearing it to a match, which can't be a bad thing, replica shirts being worn to games is never a good look on grown men in my opinion.
May 6, 201610 yr I still think that my favourite 'adidas' Chelsea away top was the white one circa 2007.
May 6, 201610 yr Does anybody know if 2016-17 will be the last season we're sponsored by yokohama? The deal was for 'an initial five years', so presumably either the club or the company has the option of an extension. Hopefully the former. We're stuck with them until at least the end of 2019/20.
May 6, 201610 yr Maybe it will change. Remember we had Samsung mobile to begin with then it changed. When their brand becomes a household name maybe they will drop the tyres.
May 7, 201610 yr This current sponsorship deal is worth over double the one with Samsung. Probably worth thinking about rather than just the cosmetic side of it.
May 7, 201610 yr Don't mind a little red on there but Just looks so out of place on the sponsor also the lions all over the shirt make it look pyjama like, whatever happened to the simple but classy designs like we used to have?
May 9, 201610 yr I think it shows how little people care about new kits now-a-days with the amount of interest in this thread. I think a new one every year rather than 2-3 years has exhausted people's enthusiam. Plus the cost and our form hasn't helped :/
May 9, 201610 yr Don't see anything wrong with grown men wearing replica shirts to games.It actually creates more of an intimidating togetherness atmosphere and a cosmetic beauty with a sea of blue inside the ground.
May 11, 201610 yr does anyone know of any good websites to buy snide shirts ? I used a website in the past and paid around £15 pound for a fake shirt and it was of the same quality as the £50 shirt from the club shop - probably came from the same factory (cant remember the name of the website I got it from) Don't fancy spending £90 on the new top. thanks
May 11, 201610 yr Just noticed that our last title winning kit is available on Kitbag for 11 quid, think I'll just get that with Zola 25 on the back.
May 11, 201610 yr Well, this is gonna be our last kit by adidas. I wonder who will be our next kit sponsor? (Please don't let it be New Balance or Under Armour) http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2016/05/chelsea-and-adidas-go-into-final-year-of-partnership.html?extcmp=SOCIA_TW_ENG_ADIDAS
