Behemoth 266 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I don't have any Chelsea third or away kits so If the rumored black and silver 3rd jersey is correct, I'll be getting it. 29 on the BAck. Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I think it's going to be blue and nothing else. No white trim or even three stripes. Reckon adidas might be hitting us with an originals label this time.Dark blue on royal blue would be fucking amazing, actually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwylino 329 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Forget it, there is no way Adidas would make a kit without 3 stripes, it just doesnt make any sense, thats why in the end of the promotional video what did we see? 3 stripes.In fact I think they made that video because the kit needs a big promotional material to sell.They did do a few with ajax (Then they started doing stripes)The black and silver one reminds me very much of the Black away one we had in 08/09 Aka this one here, And i will say it's one of the nicest kits we pretty much ever had tbh, so i guess im okay with a one similar for next season, If i do get it I will stick to my thing of getting players who wouldn't have a name on the back on it usually, Might go with Azpilicueta Piazon or Betrand BlueLion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

middleoftheshed 388 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Well since their deal with Liverpool ended we are now by some distance adidas' biggest contract in England so I guess they are more likely to push the boat out with us now.

Hopefully not soon, I much prefer them to Nike, and there is no way we're going back to Umbro as it's being phased out slowly and incorporated by Nike.

But they are missing the fact that since they lost Liverpool to that weird american brand, Chelsea is the only brand they have in PL that sell million kits around the world.The team is having an average season, and playing UCL next is far from being a done deal, the biggest stars are gone (Ballack, Didier, Shevchenko, all belong to the past), Lampard will leave in summer, Terry became a squad player and Torres is a huge flop, Mata might be one of the best players in the world, but he is not one of the most marketable athletes, and there is a long way until him, Oscar or Hazard start to sell shirts around the world.And after the current kit, any kit in the world would be received with indifference.

How spiteful they are ?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVL 119 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I think THIS is gonna be our new kit. The shirt is from a thai friend of mine. He's selling replica's and always have the latest updates/shirts. Shirts like Barça, L'vpool and Real Madrid are always the right one, with the new season.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 It's horrible It's clearly a mix between our 08/09 (yellow piping), 09/10 (straight shoulders and rounded collar) and 11/12 (two-tone blue) kits - if adidas are they devoid of ideas for kits that they have to revert to stealing from outdated ideas then we should sever all ties with them immediately. Adidas have as good as confirmed that this isn't the kit. Henrique, Rmpr, bababoom and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVL 119 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 It's not horrible.About the combination i'll agree with you, the stripes on the middle, the yellow. It's all from previous years yes. But okay, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 It might look better on... But on the ground it just looks like someone has just gone crazy on last year's shirt. I am pretty sure that's not it... It also wouldn't fit into the "it's blue what else matters" slogan. I'm expecting a very plain, blue shirt. Hopefully it looks good, because this kit has been great.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 It would be quite nice without the two-tone, admittedly. Nowhere near the quality of the current kit, or the 06/08 shirt, but still nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
