New away shirt

[BLUENUT]

Not sure how 'real', this is........

Are we taking note from Barca?

At least it would come in handy if fireworks in the stands start to turn very smoky, or during a fog.

As they are selling them, you'd think they're genuine. There's nothing about the new shirt on the official site or the online megastore, though. It looks like a training top, but a colour like that does help the players see eachother on the pitch, though. I had heard rumours of us getting a "fluoro-yellow" away kit and this is pretty close. It's not yellow, but it's a bright colour nonetheless. Maybe it would've been better to have it in yellow and have the black parts in that shirt be blue. That lime green shirt looks a bit cheap to me.

That site's American, I'd be well surprised if that was our official away top next season.

Reckon our Yankee mates might have that slightly confused with a training top.

[Maksimov]

Well do they say our blue and white kits are 2007-2009 and both the white and black kits are said to be away kits. Nothing about the other being our European away kit. Ok, that's just me being picky...

The white shirt is only for this season - if you have one read the label

Assuming it is an official shirt, it does seem very strange that news of it would appear first anywhere but the megastore/official site. Maybe it's a marketing mistake, who knows. Again, assuming it's an official release, maybe the actual shirt will look better than the on-site image.

It's pretty much as the bloke from the megastore described it to me. Bloody Horrible.

[Maksimov]

Still not as horrible as the tangerine and graphite kit which was just ugly. At least the lime green kit is practical.

You don't mean the Coors classic? I must be one of the few people who actually like it, and I 'm not even embarrassed to wear it

[Maksimov]

Yes...the design of the shirt may have been a some marketing plan from Coors, so that their logo wouldn't be the worst thing about the shirt.

If this is the new away shirt (which im not convinced it is) i am stunned that it has appeared on a Yank website before the normal fanfare and hullaballo on the Chelsea website.

If they have done this before they shoudlve im sure they can expect a letter from some lawyers pretty soon.

Oh, and its hideous.

[Maksimov]

Had it been relased for pre-orders, I think it would be at kitbag, but there's no sign of it there. They do have the Ukraine home shirt amongst the Chelsea shirts, though.

[midlandblue]

maybe it's a shirt that will be worn ONLY on the american tour...................maybe.

[jemchelsea]

am lovin the new away black shirt!

[Makelele]

its not real

[Maksimov]

its not real

Are they selling imaginary shirts to Americans?

[Nat]

It would make sense, that the top is going on sale in the states before here, to get in with sales for the american tour in the coming months. Wasn't it the same with the adidas home strip this season that it was avaialbe over in states before the mega store did the offical release of it?
