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

Yeah, I understand but I still feel like they could've done a little more. I like the simplicity of the kit but it is literally the same exact design except for the collar.

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

Stones 

The price is insane!

Nice change back to the 1970 kit plus the logos. Just a pity we didn't go Yellow/Blue for the away kit to complete the retro look. Only cost 30 bob back then though. 

 

This is still my favourite kit though http://www.sportsdirect.com/score-draw-chelsea-1970-home-shirt-mens-374392?colcode=37439221&src=google&gclid=CNujtaWw6NQCFWwW0wod2CUBSw

Justbthe same as usual is it not? Unless you are looking at the actual ones the players wear that are another 25 quid on top of the standard ones.

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

Wait, because our away kit is white we can't wear it if the home side has a white kit? f**k me, that's a huge revelation. What if a team comes to the bridge and they wear a blue away kit?

Not sure if sarcasm  

It is the reason 3rd kit exists or we'll wear our home kit. I'm just peeved that it is almost Exactly the same bar the logo and badges.

If we did wear this away kit vs Spurs, it might be the MU grey shirt swap all over again lulz

When were they ever £90? Has it been like that for sometime?

Despite liking adidas. I like the new strips revealed today by Chelsea and nike.

I quite like the new home shirt. Some might say boring but I think it's simple and classy.

For a while now you have been able to buy the actual player shirts which are made of a different material. It's a fairly new thing though I think maybe for the past 10 years or so. Doubt anyone ever does buy them unless they use the shirts to play football.

Blimey. I've only bought shirts for the kids over the years, I haven't bought an adult one for ages.

I tend to get them for 5s/7s but even I've never touched the exact replicas, the ones at £60 are expensive enough, just shy of £100 on a football top is absolutely criminal!

 

As someone previously said they probably cost less than a 10th of that to actually manufacture, but then again that's why Nike are paying the club 60 off million a year!

 

 

Nike played it safe with the first year of the agreement.  They can't exactly come out guns blazing with designs galore, perhaps even affecting tradition.  It's bad for business.

 

Besides, it's a classy, clean kit.  The color stands out more than ever before, and that's one of Chelsea's badges - the striking blue. 

Cannot understand why it seems we no longer have our own online megastore. There is hardly any merchandise to be had on that Nike redirect site, surely this can't be the way it is from now on.

Pretty much 99% of people I've played with wear football tops to play football, funnily enough because that's what they're made for  as long as you're not kicking about in the full strip, don't see a problem with it but each their own.

 

Used to be but we struggled for numbers so now play at power league with guys from my work. I prefer the corn exchange but it's harder to get to for folk that stay out west.

Yeah boy, got Kante looking demonic!

Wonder if Luiz being centre stage in this and the other bits is a hint he might be the new captain?

Can we merge these 2 threads, they are both about the same thing?

Spurs and Arsenal fans complained about the tag line for our kit reveal ‘we are the pride’. I wish I was joking, how are we not the pride of London? Maybe win something worth winning and then get angry, shows you what a tinpot club Spurs are and Arsenal are now in our shadow.
