Chelsea Kits for 2012/2013 Season

Although, Manchester United & Arsenal are yet to display their third kits to the fans, Chelsea have released their trio of shirts already.

Chelsea’s home shirt for the 2012-13 season looks very modern. The famous blue shirt of Chelsea features a gold trim. It’s a classy design; very simple, but the gold trim adds a unique touch to make it stand out from the crowd, and even celebrates their Champions League win.

Chelsea has gone French on their Away kit, depicting a design similar to French Club Marseille. According to the club website, “The strip is a modern design with a classic twist, featuring a light aqua diagonal flash across the main white body, and the first ever fading three stripe pattern on both sleeves. A navy v-neck collar and trim ensures that all the various colours synonymous with our success in recent years are well represented, while the shirt also features the adidas TechFit technology, which has been proven to enhance performance.”

Unveiled today, Chelsea’s third shirt for the next season looks futuristic; the yellow trim is one thing but details on the chest is something you have never seen before.You can make fun of the shirt as much as you want, but heck, its only a third kit so i gave thumbs up to Adidas and Chelsea for trying something completely different. If you’re going to experiment with designs, why not do it with a club’s third shirt?

According to the Chelsea press release, “The striking sun graphic on the front of the black shirt creates a contrast in colours, giving the impression of power, while the fade in the graphic represents speed. The Chelsea badge is black and white and stands out against the sun graphic.”

All in all, i think Chelsea have done pretty much justice with their kits unlike Liverpool who just went wild with theirs.
