It's a bit bland, but that probably makes it more wearable for blokes down the pub. And I've always seen Nike as the chavviest sportswear brand going back to my schooldays.

60 quid is way too much for something that will cost about 50p to manufacture in a sweatshop somewhere. I guess it goes to show how the ridiculous amounts of money teams are throwing around at the moment ultimately comes from the fans.

nike tick makes the tshirt look so much cleaner. also, great to get rid of that awful neck on previous kits. 

I really like it, very similar to a 70's shirt I have, nice and clean.

We've made our first signing since the shirt reveal too.....

Ethan Ampadu from Exeter, huge signing.

Eden is out of plaster at least...

But boring for me so will probably give it a miss, nice enough though!

Not sure what I think of the kits. I think I prefer Adidas!

That's the one I was hoping for the most!

the adidas kits weren't that nice. i don't personally like the look of white lines down the top and around the neck. our home kit should look exactly like the nike one; plain, simple and slick.

Just checked this guys Wikipedia page and he's listed as having number 26 at chelsea! Seriously hope this isn't the case. 

I believe I saw him when I watched our u21's Vs Exeter in the checkatrade thing.  He looked good, reminiscent of Luiz, not just because of the hair!

Do u17/19/21 kit numbers matter that much ?

Didn't realise he was in the youth teams thought he'd gone straight into the first teams  thought it was a bit suspect as he's only 16

Ah well I'm assuming he will be in the youth teams I don't actually know

Beautiful... so much nicer without the Adidas go faster stripes...

Classy... 

Well.... That was underwhelming.

I think it looks much better when it's being worn.

They all do this, it's a corporate identity that each manufacturer does.

This as I have said in another thread about strips, has been going on since the mid 1970s. Look back at admiral strips from 1977/78 for example.

Not only does it feel cheap af, for a multibillion dollar enterprise who employs designers, it feels so underwhelming. We literally can't play Spurs away with our away kit

Yes we have. It's a City player. Guess who?

If you want name/number printing on the shirt, currently you only have a selectable choice of 7 players if you order it online ...

 

Hazard, Costa, Luiz, Cahill, Willian, Pedro or Fabregas !

 

So you'll all have to wait a little longer for your Willy Caballero version of the orange goalkeeper shirt  ... :)

 

 

Pretty dull kits. Like the socks on the away kit and thats about it.
