Ch-ch-ch-ch-change Kit - Shirt Gallery 2019/20

[Nocturnal Submission]

I'd like to think so but I fear that they've got something a bit more challenging lined up.

The pattern on the shirt is based on the roof struts at Stamford Bridge. You see, I'd have never have thought of that.

Sarri's recruitment is very outside the box

Celtic break the hoops which won't be popular ;

[Felicity, I guess so]

I... are those the shorts?

Well you’d have to say they have quite a slimming effect on Sideshow Bob there

Celtic break the hoops which won't be popular ;

They've done so before, most notably with this:



It provoked minor grumbling, but no real backlash.

[Kevin S]

Chelsea now officially launched. Fantastic shirt.

[Simon G]

I can't abide Chelsea, but the last two seasons (current and next) they have had phenomenal kits.

It boils my piss a bit.

[Nocturnal Submission]

The shirt's dreadful in its own right but even odder set against the plain shorts.

I suppose that the kids will love it, the good taste-dodging little twerps.

At least the rumour that the socks were going to be blue appears to be wrong.

[Nesta]

It's a 'marmite' of shirts, in that it's dark brown, made with yeast extract and you spread it on toast

[Hot Orange]

The shorts are an interesting shape, like a marathon runner's.

I know (I think all hooped teams have done so in the past, in the desperation to alter the design and sell new shirts) though I think this years' effort is even more egregious.

The first report I saw on the new shirt was about fan complaints about the hoops, though "minor grumbling" is certainly the level it wasn't pitched at. I'm not expecting the storming of Parkhead.

Are they a different cut for the women's kit, I wonder?

[Nocturnal Submission]

Possibly:

[Patrick Thistle]

That Chelsea shirt is laughably bad. It's like an homage to early 90s patterning.

[RobW]

What the fuck is that pattern on the Chelsea shirt?

[Ray de Galles]

Someone said earlier in the thread it was the metalwork for Stamford Bridge's stands or similar.

I think I like it, but that's probably because it reminds me of Marseille's old insanely designed shirts.

Yes, that's exactly what it is. Nike's shirt designs for us have been interpretations of past designs and the new monstrosity is supposed to reference this from 1991-93:

[Simon G]

That is not a monstrosity - that is beautiful.

I say that as someone who recently purchased this kit:


And who's fave Cheltenham shirt is this snazzy outfit from 96/97:

Blimey, that kit has stirred a memory. Just checked with my brother, and we had that shirt growing up at a time when we purchased random kits that were cheap at JJB. Had a yellow Spurs away kit from 1990(?) too.

[Simon G]

The one with the navy and light blue specks over the shoulder? That is a magnificent shirt.

[Simon G]

Ignore - I didn't read the article properly

I much prefer, and indeed still have, the previous one:

[ursus arctos]

Still not as good as the Le Coq Sportif efforts of the prior era

[The-Reverend]

I didn't mind the Chelsea Collection ones, favourite Umbro one was the one with the white mesh design on it around 86? just before all the designers began to fully feel the effects of all those pills and acid in the late 80's.

I'd also like to register my disgust at Stoke having a red keepers kit, just why?

[Incandenza]

I like the Chelsea shirt, though I don't think it looks as good worn with the plain blue shorts. But they aren't selling them for people to wear them with blue shorts, more like some trendy ankle-length jogging trousers.
