Your Favorite Kit You Own

[thejolta 1]

So I'm new to the kit purchasing. These things costs 80-100$ so I can only purchase them slowly. What is your favorite kit you own? At the moment I have a 2006 Italy World Cup Jersey Blue with no name on the back. Had a friend just kind of leave that at my house then he went off to school elsewhere and I haven't brought it up I also had a 2002 Spain World Cup Jersey Red. Again no name on the back. But right now my favorite kit is my Essien 2009 Black Chelsea kit. My love for Essien is so huge. However I've got a 2010 France World Cup Jersey with a custom name on the back (Makélélé). I think this jersey will be my most proud possession when it arrives in about 2 weeks (ordered it from the UK, shipping to the US is about 14-21 days and the embroidering process with the patches and name takes about 7 days).

So my question to you guys... I figured since it's the offseason and I'm incredibly bored of all this transfer talk that amounts to absolute shit with articles stating Chelsea snubbed by Scrotum Phillips etc etc. So the question is what kits do you own? Be specific and what kit is your favorite of the ones you own. Also what kits do you think would be awesome to get.

Also does anyone know where I could get an official Drogba OM jersey from a few years ago? I think that will be the next kit I buy.

The Drogba OM jersey can be found from time to time on ebay. But be prepared to fork about $100-$200 for an original.

At the moment my Favorite kit would have to be my 08-09 second kit (black) Long sleeve Drogba Jersey. Reason being, we've never lost with it on, and i beat the shit out of some bloke when i was wearing it.

my favourite Chelsea kit was the centenary one, loved that gold on the sleeves.. perfect.

I have a mixture of shirts mainly bought cheap rather than full price.

Chelsea - "Samsung mobile" strip fakes bought out here in Turkey - Lampard (flimsy but realistic at a glance) & Drogba #15 ! which bears little resemblence to any strip Chelsea have ever worn, but was the best Urgup market had to offer at the time.

Besiktas - Current "Cola Turka" horizontal Black/Silver (Genuine BJK gear) as they wore this strip to win the Championship this year it has to be my current favorite.

England - last world cup shirt bought at 90% discount last winter in Plymouth for less than £5

Plymouth Argyle - bright orange away shirt bought for a tenner so I had something to wear for the Plymouth v Burnley match this March. Oddly the local turks love bright orange tops & think it is great leasureware.

So what are you doing in Turkey now? I assume some sort of business? I'd love to make it out to that country at some point.

My favourite has to be the Centurary year one, Or the white umbro one.

The centenary kit was ace; I had 'Lampard' on the back of mine.

I also liked the black away one from a few years back, when we were sponsored by Fly Emirates. I had 'Lampard' printed on the back of that one too!

Ive got every home shirt from the past 20 years or so.

My fav is the centenary shirt, i had Robben16 on the back. I like the autoglass shirt from 1999 aswell, the one we wore in our first Champions League campaign.

You actually have Aguero on the back of a Chelsea shirt????

My god that really is a gamble mate, you'd be pretty pissed off if he ended up going somewhere else! :unsure:

Definitely a questionable expenditure.

[chrismada9 1,948]

yeah! waste of money if you ask me!

First adidas home was class. Was a shame we didn't wear that in Moscow. The new one is growing on me a lot too.

The 99/00 that Jim mentioned was class too.

[Wxgba 306]

I agree Dave - the new kit is certainly growing on me too. The more times I see it, the more I like it.
