Chelsea 09/10 Adidas Home kit 
We showed you a leaked picture months ago, but today Chelsea and adidas revealed the new home kit for the 09/10 season, which is available here.
Just one match away from a consecutive Uefa Champions League Final when they face Barcelona next week, the call to action behind the launch, 'Every Team Needs A 12th Man', has never been more apt.
The campaign underlines the importance and the difference that supporters make to a team's success and has unique interactive features.
The shirt will be worn for the first time on Sunday 17 May against Blackburn Rovers in the penultimate league game of the season.
As always adidas has incorporated the highest sporting, technology and design standards into the shirt.
The new ultra-modern kit in traditional Reflex Blue draws inspiration from looks that have graced the King's Road over the years, especially seen in the ergonomically fitted shape, crew collar design and 'epilette' three stripes.
Layered chest panelling coupled with the 3D Formotion cut allows complete freedom of movement. Waffled Climacool fabric and mesh panelling across major sweat zones will increase comfort and ensure players remain cool and dry.
The shirt also has a new streamlined crew neck collar design with 'Chelsea FC' imprinted on rubber piping running down from the neckline of the shirt.
The new replica Chelsea adidas kit goes on sale on the 14 May but you can pre-order now at the FSC shop

Comments
I urge all Chelsea to sign a petition to keep the current shirt one more year. Someone make the petition too im too lazy
a petition won\'t work, because it\'d be really embarrassing for chelsea or adidas to say, sorry, we\'ve released this kit but it sucked so we\'re gonna make another one, just give us a week
adidas made the best kit, it was the 06-08 kit, it was brilliant... then the previous one sucked with the stupid collar then this cycling bra design...
Loose the stiching, make it v-neck and you\'d have a real winner.
The bottom of the shorts is stupid also, why can\'t shorts be like shorts?
Also, i cant see how you can feel good looking at the top new blues.
Gibberish to English translation:
\"Layered chest panelling coupled with the 3D Formotion cut allows complete freedom of movement.\" == BREASTPLATES!!!
Sorry adidas but I know this is during the economic recession so maybe you can\'t hire some good designers, but this template is not exclusive to Chelsea -- like what the did the last time and before. It\'s getting cheaper and cheaper. This one looks so tight-fitting -- are they cycling or what!?
The shorts are the same old style. Why can\'t they just do some different cuts like the 06-08 kit, or at least erase some of the stripes like what they did to the jersey (which is ugly, but at least there\'s some consistency).
I do like Petr Cech\'s goalkeeper shirt, it looks great... now if the home kit was like that. The decorative lines on the GK shirt somehow looks similar to my adidas running t-shirt here:

oh well. I still think the 06-08 kit looks the best. That was when they designed the FIFA 2006 world cup\'s kits so the templates then were top notch.
I\'m not a Chelsea fan but I like this kit a lot.
Funny how all the fans of Umbro teams want adidas and now Chelsea want Umbro back.
I hope that Real Madrid and the other adidas clubs don\'t adopt this, otherwise I won\'t be buying many shirts this year!
Although that will save me a bit of money.
oh well at least were not everton
too bad chelski didnt stay with umbro, if they just had a blue version of the new england kit they would have the best in europe.
Ugly.
looks like a training top.
but the goalkeeper kit looks really nice
Exactly what I was thinking, looks like the Italian one.
Truly, the worst kit i have ever, ever seen
at least we do not have this slogan in front, thanks my god.
This whole change kits every year got old LONG AGO, and manufacturers are doing some crazy sh&t to keep going... nevermind the World economy makes it hard to spend all that money on replicas every year. Might as well take a plain t-shirt or polo, buy a shield and sew it in.
Its to store there note pad\'s for all the different languages....lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
adidas just should remove this bra template and keep the current collar and the shirt will look nice.
and the adidas stripes are cut off because of liga regulations (there should be a patch on the sleeve).
This one is definitely a Bette Midler!
At least we have a contemparary, original template & not a bog-standard, also-ran, everyone-else-has-it template...!! I will cry till I die if Derby & Boro\'s is the same template!!
Plastic censoredney spastic glory hunting c*nts.....
PS: I love adidas\'s disrespect for the Chelsea badge by not having it in the right colours on the GK kit..... The words \"iron-on\" spring to mind...!
PPS: I also love adidas\'sdisrespect for CFC by picking 3 typical inbred Es*** chavs to model the kit.....!! That\'s the only thing \'local\' about the whole kit...!!
Totally agree!
Personally I don\'t like the design, but I will still buy the new shirt to just show a little support and also a little respect to the Blue.
Hopefully, next season the management could listen their members/fans\' comments before they release the new kits. IF WE ARE THE 12TH MEN.
looks ****... but thats not even the problem, football fans + FIFA must make a stand against teams changing any kit (1st, away or 3rd) after only one season..
its getting stupid the amount of teams doing it...
I reckon teams should have to keep kits for at least 2 years and change the home and away in different summers...
Sorry to burst your bubble me old son, but there are leaked pictures suggesting that Liverpool will have the same template for their home strip next season.
If you don´t like the design why should you buy the shirt then? You can support your team with the jersey from the last season right? Buying this ugly shirt, will only show to adidas that they can do every crap and the fans still will buy it to support their team. Wear your old shirt and don´t buy this bra-crap.
However, I wish people wouldn\'t try to be clever when reviewing shirts.
I was unfamiliar with the word \"epilette\" so I looked it up. It appears that is something to do with hair removal. Does this mean that wearing this shirt will remove 3 lines worth of hair from my arms (and shoulders in Richard Keys\' case)?
I think the writer mean \"Epaulettes\", which is the formal name for the stripes on the military, police and fire service (I looked this up as well). Comparing adidas\' trade mark to the rank of such people is a joke. I author should have said \"eye sore\" stripes.
I wish we were still with Umbro.
I must admit it\'s not a masterpiece, but it\'s not bad either.
I especially like the shade of blue.
Those baggy shirts look ridiculous in hindsight. These slim-fitting shirts are much more flattering. Unless you\'re a fat ******* of course.
....when i think that chelsea have this kit for the all next year, i\'m start to cry.
We needs a shirt like Peterbrough 08-09 shirt.....That one looks quite Adidas - Chelsea like...
Has anybody heared the Rumour Chelsea are in talks with Umbro(again) and Puma about succeeding Adidas ? I dont mind what one we sign a deal with but I have always loved Umbro.
I always buy Adidas before I will even contemplate anything by Nike, but at least nike knows how to design a traditional football shirt. Even Chelsea\'s gear this year is a pretty classic design, same with Bayern\'s, and now, they bring out this Sprotsbra kit, complete with fake \"zipper\"
no way i am going near this.. I\'d buy something from the Primera División de México complete with 45 different sponsors all over it, before I\'d buy this sportsbra/kit combo? Looks like Adidas won\'t be getting any of my money this year
Does Chelsea have a woman\'s team, maybe this kit had them in mind??? yeah?
unlucky chelski
Go LFC.
another new home kit
if u want 2 see **** kit look at the away kit i hope it\'s fake
07/08 kit was simple yet nicer!
WHAT is with the ZIP and \"packets\" at the chest on the front side!!! This is for 09/10?!
...08/09 had flap collars now we have these packets! gasp!
B)
More like Fat Fred
Last years\' was one of the best shirts of the year.
Then, THIS! Crappy kit...
YHIHF
its worth it :cheer:
