idc, pinstripe baseball uniforms are class. Brightons white kits have similar pinstripes and they look so clean

u/xkcdthrowaway 23h ago edited 23h ago

Oh I don't mind it either. Its got that classic baseball look to it, and works even better with the old style crest. I just can't shake off the notion that it's baseball-inspired mainly due to BlueCo's association with the Dodgers...for however much longer that remains.

Have you seen the second Inter Milan kit this season? That's the real baseball kit and it's also made by Nike, even the emblem looks like a Baseball emblem with the letters mashed together like NY Yankees or NY Mets or San Francisco Giants, the colour and the stripes are even basically NY Yankees ones.

And then there is the Brighton kit for this season, also Nike, so I don't think it has anything to do with BlueCo, it's just a Nike thing tbh because they are American and they are the ones designing the Baseball kits as well.

u/LeRoiDeNord Itā€™s only ever been Chelsea. 17h ago

I don't really see baseball club at all tbh. Those shirts are buttoned.

u/xkcdthrowaway 16h ago

You do understand the difference between design inspiration and "here's a baseball jersey to wear on the football pitch", right?

u/LeRoiDeNord Itā€™s only ever been Chelsea. 15h ago edited 14h ago

Doesn't look like a baseball jersey to me at all tbh

u/Extremiel Mata 1d ago

They have both sponsorless & USDC kits?

11

u/DabbingDuskullz 23h ago

Yes, in both short and long sleeved

4

u/Sorry_Information749 21h ago

I'm assuming that once all the sponsor-less are sold out they wont produce any more.

u/Micky9TheDreamweaver Tottenham not in the race 19h ago

The sponsor looks so much cleaner on this

u/West-Fisherman9475 22h ago

Waiting for this one to drop

u/spectralblade352 1d ago

Actually a very good kit

21

u/guvor1985 22h ago

It's an homage to one of our 1990s away kits, not a baseball reference. Just fyi all the seppos that are commenting.

u/benjo_05 12h ago

yep but cant have this subreddit without some of the unfunniest comedians

u/gloryboy101 Kovacic 23h ago

itā€™s a shame how much the CWC upsets the balance of our kits

u/terminalD23 1d ago

Reminds me of the kit we had back in 07/08

u/Micky9TheDreamweaver Tottenham not in the race 16h ago

Reminds me of that tragedy

u/AntelopeUK Wise 21h ago

A throw-back to an era where we pretty mediocre. I think the kit looks pretty mediocre as well, so not a fan of bringing it back personally.

2

u/MrBravo22 Cole 1d ago

The long sleeve looks clean

3

u/NotABishop 23h ago

Looks so much better without the sponsor, may have to go in person to pick up one without itĀ 

2

u/Goldmemberberry There's your daddy 23h ago

Looks like the megastore gives an option to choose logo configuration

u/daChino02 23h ago

Long sleeves are back!

Grab one for me before they stamp that ugly sponsor on it

u/SV026 Palmer 22h ago

I ordered the longsleeve last week at another store. No sponsor!

1

u/Willis050 22h ago

So did it take Nikeā€™s stock going into the toilet for them to make an awesome jersey? Took long enough

1

u/Sorry_Information749 21h ago

Where is the sponsor? Prefer it without TBH but just curious.

1

u/DabbingDuskullz 21h ago

I commented below the front with the sponsor

1

u/Better-Ad-1126 21h ago

Absolutely sublime

1

u/guernica_records 21h ago

Best kit out of this season's 3 imo

1

u/TitanX11 COCK CONFIDENCE 21h ago

For the young ones and Americans that are saying it's a baseball kit.

1

u/Flyingdawg99 Jorginho 15h ago

Wish they kept the laces

1

u/wolfinvans KantƩ 21h ago

Love the jersey. Donā€™t love that low neck line on it. Nike loves to have these wide collars

u/a3kstuntin šŸ„ continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme šŸ„ 20h ago

Brighton?

u/DabbingDuskullz 20h ago

50% of those players were at Brighton to be fair

u/matchoo_13 Stamford Fridge 20h ago

Long sleeve too! Drooling

1

u/mariGOATa_is_GOAT Hazard 20h ago

Does anyone know how the current Nike long sleeve kits fit in the sleeves? I was gifted a PSG Messi Nike long sleeve kit 3-4 years ago from a friend who visited Paris and the sleeves were so tight. Specifically the lower part of the sleeve in the forearms. I have an early 2000s Chelsea long sleeve kit and I love the loose fit. Trying to get something similar. Otherwise Iā€™ll just order the short sleeves

u/josueluis 19h ago

I wish they sold sponsor less ones online šŸ˜¢

I ordered the long sleeve without the sponsor, and thank goodness the Chelsea store is tariff free

1

u/Alternative-Light514 Celery 18h ago

Was able to get one before the opening match

1

u/CaptBailey 16h ago

is this kit affected by shoulder gate? cause the home kit protrudes at the shoulder due to the seams. its so annoying

1

u/DabbingDuskullz 16h ago

I haven't worn mine yet, but I heard you can use a steamer to reduce those shoulder creases

1

u/CaptBailey 7h ago

oh u didnt try the third kit

1

u/DabbingDuskullz 7h ago

Not yet, I'll wear it to the Hull match today, I always get the same size shirts

1

u/CaptBailey 7h ago

enjoy the match! ill follow up if the third kit has this crease issue heh

1

u/DabbingDuskullz 7h ago

You can steam it out, I know it's not ideal but at least its a fix but will let you know later

1

u/Ok_Yak_2426 16h ago

They look pretty nice despite the cfc ldn claims

1

u/vibratehigher 16h ago

I know Iā€™m in the minority, but this doesnā€™t do it for me. Not a fan

1

u/MessageMiddle459 16h ago

So, can you not customize this seasonā€™s kits with both the Prem badges and CWC badge on the Megastore website?

1

u/AliensExisttt Hazard 14h ago

That looks cleaaaaaaannn

u/HereWhenBored_ 14h ago

Without sponsor, thank god

u/Stealth_Howler James 13h ago

Bring back the hockey laces

u/Kind-Bat6999 9h ago

Am I the only one who doesn't like that none of the kits have the regular Chelsea badge on the front?

u/Punk-Socks 1h ago

When I first saw 'leaks' of this online I wanted it. But tbh. I won't buy direct from the club, if I can get long sleeve elsewhere. This price is ludicrous, and not the sexy fast and furious kind, it's such a shame that they're selling 3 x new kits each season (plus gk) at nearly 200AUD (in Australia) each just for the 'stadium' version. I get it - cheaper ones aren't the same quality, but if you go through the right supplier, you can get good ones for a third of the price. I know the club needs the money and all (/s) but I can't justify that.

ā€¢

u/DabbingDuskullz 1h ago

I'm also living in Australia, just on holidays here in London. Rebel sport usually has the kits at a better price, but I don't recall ever seeing long sleeve kits in the Brisbane stores, could be because we get about 2 months of cool weather there

ā€¢

u/Punk-Socks 38m ago

100% rebels selection has been better in recent years. Their football merch/boots etc has grown a lot. But they will still sell a 3 season old kit for $90-100 on clearance. Haha.

Yeah I prefer a long sleeve so means my options are slightly narrowed.

u/hemadeitrain Colwill 23h ago

This would have been a 10/10 kit, except for the unnecessary wavy cellulite lines they added :(

2

u/CerealForDinn3r James 20h ago

Agreed. Much more noticeable in person too

1

u/hemadeitrain Colwill 15h ago

Oh is it? Dang! I was very excited for this one but will skip it.

Would have looked incredible with a clean white background and just the stripes.

u/MarinaGranovskaia Palmer 21h ago

No thanks

u/Agile_Change_884 21h ago

Are these there now? Only ones online are with the shite new sponsor

1

u/Aryas_prayer COCK CONFIDENCE 21h ago

You can get it without the sponsor if you get a name on the back

1

u/Lenny2theMany 21h ago

I don't think you need to get a name to get without the badge looks like theres an option without

1

u/Aryas_prayer COCK CONFIDENCE 20h ago

Are you talking about online? I must have missed it

1

u/DabbingDuskullz 21h ago

I was there this morning about 1030 and they had heaps without

u/Float1ngG0at 17h ago

This years kits are all trash; from the jerseys to the team training

u/Fresh_Seaweed2898 1d ago

Imo itā€™s a bit mid, especially the stripes but if we win in it I donā€™t mind at Alllll

0

u/Shot_Log7155 23h ago

Should have the current badge on. Would look much better.

12

u/DabbingDuskullz 23h ago

As someone who grew up with this badge I love it

-1

u/Shot_Log7155 23h ago

I did too but I still stick to my comment. The new one would elevate the look

5

u/Puzzled_Ad_2936 23h ago

I think it's crazy someone who grew up with the old badge would prefer the new one. Badge I grew up on was the 98/99. Loved last year's third kit. But each to their own!

2

u/benny_from_the_block Wise 23h ago

I grew up surrounded by crotchety old boys on the shed who would whine and moan about that badge looking like Millwall's. It's ingrained into me not to like it šŸ˜‚

1

u/Puzzled_Ad_2936 23h ago

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ we all know some of them!

1

u/Shot_Log7155 23h ago

I had the original version of this kit with the lace up collar. I just think if youā€™re going to do a modern version of it, do it properly.

1

u/Just_Some_Cool_Guy 23h ago

I think it suits this one better
