That looks like an original UJ the little umbro looks genuine. I bought the repro yellow one as well got it home and changed my mind went back the next day and swapped it for the red one.

Never seen thered one before Iggy. but cant understand why the red being used, Almost as bad as replacing the blue with green on away shirts adter that one you posted. 

I really downt like the cross check or horizontal stripes. There was this place in Brixton called Brierleys and cheaper shit than Woolies. My old dear bought me a real naff POW check cardie for my 14th bday - it was the last bit of clothes she ever bought me lol

It was first worn in the 1970 cup final no idea why it was red. It might have only been worn for that one game I honestly don't know. The yellow one was worn a few times I think first worn in the 1972 League Cup Final which incidentally is the first time I was really upset over Chelsea losing a match my older brothers taking the piss didn't help either. 

The red,white and green away of the 70's was because Dave Sexton was a massive admirer of the Puskas inspired Hungary team of the 50's.The yellow and green I think was a bit of a homage to the Brazilian team but believe me we were so shit then as the old joke goes there were times we were lucky to get nil

Ive always wanted a good quality leather baseball jacket but never came across one.

I even asked a Stone Island sales rep if they could do some but got a letter from them saying they would have to make them for all clubs or it would turn the missing clubs SI wearers away.

Bought my first Stone Island top from a gaff in Haymarket in Piccadilly in 1995 cost £110. Won't touch any of their gear now because one of those twats who killed Lee Rigby was wearing a Stone Island hat

Love the first picture with the gold banding around the neck.

Wish the Chelsea kept the Blue/Yellow tradition going. Way more iconic than the simple Blue/White.

I wish kits never changed (except for minor things like badges and collars)

You're right. Nice shirt. Home ones ok too for that season.

But didn't give the lads much luck. I dont think we won or even drew a game for 3 months of season. Then we got smashed in Cup final to the fuckin Mancs! I do remember wearing it to an Oasis gig down here at the 100 Club and got a wanker gesture from Liam so I gave him some back and got covered in beer! I didn't care. I was mad for it at the time!

I'd love a real dark black away kit

Indeed. That design reminds me of this one. Probably my favorite away/3rd kit from Adidas:

Its that shiney fabric I didn't like and the multi verical stripes. But yeah its getting there.

We look back on the 90s for being baggy and sometimes a little too flamboyantly designed. We will remember the late 00s and early 10s as simply being overdesigned and messy. \
