Apparently this Jan what the kit for next season will look like: I don't get wound up by kits but this is absolutely lightyears better than the abomination they are supposed to be releasing, sans sponsor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the worst football kit I've seen in recent memory. Some kits are so bad they are good (eg the tangerine and graphite Coors away circa 1995/6) but this is so bad it is unwearable. Absolutely dreadful. An embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 If the leaks are right, which I see no reason why they won't be as they are appearing in many different places, then I think Nike may have outdone themselves and actually made the worst Chelsea kit of all time and it'll be up there with the worst kits of all time, it is that bad. How a designer has come up with it and how anyone has then approved it is beyond me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How a designer has come up with it and how anyone has then approved it is beyond me! This is the mind-blowing thing. A team of designers have come up with this and a couple of other designs and had to go through three or four development reporting stages including pitching them to the marketing types. SOMEHOW this has emerged as the winner and has been signed off by everyone. It makes me wonder, it really does. Imagine getting a degree in design, knowing everything there is to know about textiles, being part of one of (we assume) the best paid creative teams in sportswear, having years of experience, and still coming back with this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy, isn't it?! I don't think they'll sell as many as normal because it is absolutely hideous. Maybe the kids will love it, maybe this is fashionable now... if so, I'm glad I'm not fashionable anymore! Our contract with Nike ends after the 31/32 season, so we still have many more kits from this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 In 1877, art critic John Ruskin criticized Whistler's Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket, as “flinging a pot of paint in the public's face.” Looks to me like someone missed the face and hit the shirt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a nice plain blue one with (strangely) orange and white hi-lights mocked up recently without that mental toothpaste squiggle and it was much much better than this horrorshow .

It's common for individual employees of different stores to leak kits. Since they've now been sent around the world, more people get their hands on the and there's more chance of mistakes. In this case, it's entirely possible that these have been put on the shelves early by mistake. This happens quite commonly with new releases of books as well, and key art of games gets leaked similarly. I would be really surprised if this kit is not completely real.

I’d say it’s highly unlikely this is the actual kit. If it’s even real, I’d say it’s most likely a training kit. Would it prove to be the actual match kit then I agree with whoever said it before - quite possibly the worst football kit ever. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids will still want it. And it's a deliberate targeting of an audience who increasingly want "statement" football shirts, irrespective of the team. It is a move straight from the playbook of fashion house and sometime football club Arsenal FC. It is almost certainly the home kit and it is to my eye easily the worst in my 38 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Really does look like the colour's run badly - really resembles the bottom of a swimming pool, or a hard bus seat. Must be a joke ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 I’m looking forward to seeing how they market it, what’s the story going to be this time? Will it be inspired by the recovery pools at Cobham? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, it was a video of the kit in a box being opened by someone. It's the exact same one as shown above that almost all of us dislike. Oh dear... I guess we'll get used to it.
