The New New Kit Thread

Do... do Chelsea have strong links with Eton?

[gunnar hendershow]

Isn't Eton one of those institutions that turns its nose up at football?

On the plus side it doesn't clash with the home one, but fucking hell, Eton blue...

Dennis Wise famously came through their football pathway.

Chelsea's first club president was Lord Cadogan and those were his racing colours, no doubt because he went to Eton. That's all.

They won the FA Cup! Or their alumni team did, rather.

Lovely idea, but not the nicest kit.

 

[DavidMarrio]

 I hope they raise plenty of money but it's an eyesore of a kit 

[Colly]

Sold out online, they're sticking the last few in the club shop.

In other kit news, Castore are still shit.

The cynic in me wonders if Jacqui Oatley has just managed to increase the ratings for the game on Sunday though.

The images of the men's team sweating through them are awful, I couldn't play in that.

[The Lusophone]

Better than the men's, but that's not difficult. Someone remarked that the pattern is like when people take pictures of their laptop screen and yeah, spot on really.

Saw it earlier, and it's quite nice. It just doesn't feel like there's a unique designers touch to it other than actually sticking her name on the Adidas logo, if they'd put that out normally (for mens and womens teams) it doesn't look dissimilar to any other kit. It's 2023, a bit of pink piping doesn't make it particularly exciting and feminine when half the keepers in the PL have an all pink number.

"Wet-look" doing a lot of lifting there.

Doesn't he play for River Plate in Argentina?

Chelsea finally have a shirt sponsor.

Looks decent, seen far worse.

[Colly]

Looks neat. What the fuck is it?
