MAG: CHELSEA HOME KIT 2012/13 BY ADIDAS

From: chelseafc
As promised, Chelsea FC's new adidas home strip has been unveiled today, arriving in a clean blue and gold combination. The shirt is a simple crew neck shape, built with the TechFit technology which I don't really care about to be honest. But I have to say I do like how it looks, very slick. There's some subtle dark blue stripes across the whole kit on a primarily royal blue base. The main design feature is the gold highlights from the Chelsea crest, adidas and Samsung logos to the piping details and three stripes across the shoulder. It's the first time gold has featured in our kits since the club's centenary outfit by Umbro for the 05/06 season. Apparently the colourway represents 2012 as the year of celebrating sport, although it seems a little second fiddle from Real Madrid's or Bayern Munich's kits this year. Nonetheless, it looks strong. Sure it's just a kit, but I can see the team winning in this. Also, I love the choice of green for the goalkeeper kit. It strikes a beautiful, traditional look with the gold, rather regal.
