harperdc posted:also obviously I'm not a Chelsea fan but this year's kit is class - much better than what's coming next year: Yeah, I'm going to pick up the current black away kit in lieu of getting any of next seasons (although I might consider the away). I'd like the orange goalie top but I can't find it cheap. I do, somewhere, have one of the attached - My school demanded a blue sports kit and my parents got me this aged 7. It's why I'm a fan.

w00bi posted:The Chelsea white away that was leaked looks to be true. Better pictures are out. I really like it, it sort of looks like a sports polo. That looks mesh-less. Excellent. Guitar_Hero posted:Besides being money-hungry bastards, is there an actual reason why Chelsea are having three all-new kits again? Didn't they just get new ones last season? The contract with Adidas requires replacement of all 3 kits each year. I think Liverpool have the same deal, despite C0burn's heartwarming jibe.

The Chelsea shirts are about the same price as soccertriads from the megastore right now. If you're in the US that's not relevant of course.

luvd posted:Are these real? That seems like too good a price. It's end of season, as I alluded the Chelsea Megastore is doing the adult home shirts for £15 or £20, most places have fairly major sales on to clear obsolete kit.

Some Clown posted:I thought there was some rule in the Premiership whereby a team had to keep their kit for two full seasons. Clubs got around it in a way by staggering the launch of their home and away kits for alternate seasons so they had a 'launch' every year. There's no rule, Adidas' contract even requires Chelsea to replace all 4 each year (if you count goalie).

Trin Tragula posted:IIRC it was the season before Emirates switched from Chelsea to Arsenal. Maybe that's where I missed the shift. I was also sure I'd seen Emirates and Air Asia on the same shirt and assumed they were related which apparently I didn't and they're not. Either way, the fact it related to my team is irrelevant to my displeasure. I actually don't think officials should be sponsored at all. It's the definition of a conflict of interest.

Maybe he's just bought them because he likes the players concerned. Or indeed because they just look good, although that doesn't explain that chequered monstrosity.

harperdc posted:Red Bull bought one of the teams, the former SSV Markranstadt, renamed them RB Leipzig and they're going to start Hoffenheim-style funding them. They want them to go from the 4th division to the Bundesliga within five years, I think. Here's an article on it I saw recently. Imagine the reaction if, for instance, we ended up with "Red Bull Rochdale".

Bacon of the Sea posted:I like it! I had a moment of "Oh, hang on..." when at the Chelsea game I looked about and saw it's the same green as the Waitrose adverts around the stadium. I pondered if we were becoming Waitrose FC. But having seen Emirates FC playing at the Emirates Stadium, used their Emirates toilets, had an Emirates nacho box and got smiled at by the Emirates air hostesses while Emirates Wiltshire knocked the Emirates ball into the Emirates net and people were told to wave their Emirates caps to see if they could get on the Emirates big screen, I decided the away kit's really in the shallow end of sponsorship compared to some poor bastards. I thought it looked pretty good, at least it's a decent green, especially when the alternative was a team of traffic cones.
