I love the yellow kit. Arsenal's yellow kit last year oozed class, so I'm glad we went back to yellow. 3rd is meh, they'll all grow on us though, so it doesn't matter haha.

I've always liked the yellow on Cech than the players but the kits this season look really nice, I would have preferred the following though:

Blue = Home | White = Away | Blue/Black = Third.

Really disappointed with the yellow away kit. Just got it today, and I must say the color looks a little different in person - almost with a slight neon hue to it. Not a fan.

Returning it for the new home kit.

I noticed the neon thing during preseason. Very sad. I'm now getting the home and third kit instead.

I picked up this bad boy; http://www.soccer.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Ne=0&N=4294959212&Product_Id=11948242

One of our best away kits in recent memory.

The yellow kit doesn't look as good in person as it does in all the shiny promos. It's too bright a shade, I wish it was like the gold we had in 2008/09. Not bad though, its an 8/10 effort. The design is great, it's just the colourway - too bright. And the blue highlight/trim is almost neon. A real shame, it could have been a classic kit.

Can't see myself buying any of the kits this season, the three we had last year shit on them. The best of the four is the keeper kit, but even that is ruined by the Spiderman webbing on the chest.

Just goes to prove we shouldn't put too much stock in the shirts before we see the kits in person. Have to say our third kit is the best-looking of the three so far.

Last season's kits were sublime. Simple, classic and elegant.

The touch of red on the away kit itself and on the socks was masterful.

One thing I hope adidas does in the future is, at least on the away or third kit, use this logo:

I do think that is the best away kit too. But the new third kit is the best third one haha.

The branding should always be consistent.

Apple don't release a new macbook with this on it..

[Behemoth 266]

I disagree, its apples and oranges.

With football shirts, they can afford to use a "throwback look."

That was actually the most unpopular badge in Chelsea history.

1986-2005

Chelsea badge 1986-2005.png

A radical re-design of the club badge was instigated in 1986, under then-chairman Ken Bates, with a more realistic image of a lion replacing the lion rampant, along with the club's intials. Despite remaining in use for almost 20 years, the badge was unpopular with many fans, and following sustained requests for a change ahead of the club's centenary year it was replaced with a more traditional badge under new owner Roman Abramovich.

^ Chelsea did the market research before deciding what the fans wanted. If we we're gonna go for the 'throwback look' then you use the 1950's badge which is similar in style...

[Behemoth 266]

Wow never knew that actually. I like the badge personally but I guess its not a good sell.

Yeah, even the rampant lion alone like they did here on the t-shirt would be cool to see

Actually, the more I see it, the more I dislike this year's kit. The third kit is horrible too...
