Chelsea Adidas Kit


off and running for 06/07


The newly formed sponsorshipp between EPL giants Chelsea FC and Adidas officially kicked in gear today with the launch of the Blues new home kit.

Previously outfitted by Umbro, the team now embarks on an 8 year partnership with the German manufacturer which will mark the first time the two have worked together. The new home kit will make its official debut when Chelsea plays their first pre-season match against the Major League Soccer All-Stars in Chicago (August 5th).

Apart from the new look, Adidas is also making note about the technical side of the kit....
As always for adidas, technology is at the forefront of the kit design. The shirt incorporates the world-renowned ClimaCool and FlowMapping technologies which allow heat and sweat to escape while bringing cooling air into contact with the skin.

The shirt also features ForMotion technology - a highlight of adidas top performance apparel. The shirt was designed three-dimensionally and engineered to fit a footballer's body in motion and the seams are sewn flat to reduce irritation.
The EPL season officially kicks-off on August 19th.

You know spazzy, I think you may be right.

Poor Shaun just cannot catch a break with this team. Should have never left City.

it is in my wise opinion that i recommend that you reconsider a contract with your previous sponsors immediately.

i sincerely hope you will take my thoughts seriously as i am an ardent fan who take pride in wearing the Chelsea.

thank you

I have to say as a Chelsea supporter myself, this kit really isn't that bad. To be honest I was pretty pumped when they announced Adidas as the new sponsor as i've always associated them with football and preferred their gear over Umbro. But again that's just one opinion.

I see it as a new look for a new era, which thankfully is a winning era. As long as they prove it on the pitch they can wear whatever they want.

Plus if it's a Treble Season I say most Chelsea fans will overlook the new threads.

Go Blue !

When I first heard that adidas will be the new sponsor, i thought oh no, everything but not adidas. But now I have to say that I like the shirt, maybe I will even buy me one.
