I remember seeing us play in red in the 70s an 80s. I'm surprised some of those of my generation or older don't recall us playing in red.https://www.footballkitarchive.com/chelsea-fc-kits/ You’re back!

I’m thinking the one Nkunku is wearing should be the 3rd? Isn’t it too similar to our home shirt? Guessing the green will be the away with same colour shorts & socks (or maybe white shorts) and the blue/back is 3rd kit and will have black shorts and socks to make it as much of a contrast as possible? 22 hours ago, Mark Kelly said: Look at this beauty and tell me it isn't better than those two away monstrosities! It looks like an Arsenal or Liverpool shirt though. Neither being a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 We had an away kit in the late 80s that was green, albeit more muted. We haven't had a burgundy kit for a while. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the 16th yes, but the Megastore no longer has that date pop up anymore, so it may have been quietly delayed. I was hoping the sponsor wouldn't be sorted in time and perhaps due to some contractual obligation with Nike they would have to be sold regardless. Would love a kit with no sponsor.

The website does say that the "official launch" is next week so maybe they've just realised there's a demand for unsponsored kits or maybe they're just building up a bank of orders ready to be sent out fully sponsored up next week? However , the way things are going it wouldn't surprise me if the EPL have decided to veto the deal so we don't keep outbidding Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the appalling "Chelsea Collection" 🤮 I think the black and navy kit is the second kit. Ah yes I remember that, didn’t Ken Bates dismiss all the kit manufacturers and decided to have it designed and made internally on the cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cos it more my era starts to follow the club I reckon you’d definitely be in the minority preferring that badge, although I’d be curious to know how people feel about that badge. I remember at the time some people hating it as it looked too similar to Millwalls badge. I guess it might be a generation thing as well, like you say if you started following the club in the late 80s or 90s then it would be what you’re used to. Personally I much prefer our ‘proper’ badge lol, but I do have some fond memories of the kits with that badge and I got some nice sweatshirts and training gear with that badge over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked on the AU version and they've already sold out. $140 a kit though, plus whatever else for postage. Even without a sponsor not sure I could justify that much on a kit that'll probably sit in a box with the rest of the ones I've got. Maybe I'll grab a DHgate special for a third of the price and not worry about it getting trashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarefreeMuratcan Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 My shirt arrived today from Nike. It looks great, even better in real life. The hue of blue is darker than we have had in recent years, which is great as I can pass it off as a "dark" colour for my 7 a side group (darks vs lights). The previous shirts were a bit more vague for that ;) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
