Saintsfan Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ok so the first official release of a top club shirt for 2012-13 has been made. Its the Chelsea shirt we saw leaked a while back with the gold trimNot a massive change, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdu Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ok so the first official release of a top club shirt for 2012-13 has been made. Its the Chelsea shirt we saw leaked a while back with the gold trimNot a massive change, really.I like it better than this year's kit (mostly bc of all the white on the shoulders), but I don't like gold lettering if you aren't a defending champ.

Conrad. Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Agreed. It's a great improvement over the "white yoke" version this season...also, i was under the impression that the accents are silver, not gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 That's going to look really nice with the standard, white league patches! If you want to use gold and it's not one of your usual colors, win the league first, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 If you want to use gold and it's not one of your usual colors, win the league first, please.I could see it if maybe it was an anniversary season or something like that too, but I'm not aware of that being the case for Chelsea.

Sounds like some bogus justification for the color.http://www.footballshirtculture.com/12/13-kits/chelsea-2012-2013-adidas-home-football-shirt.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDX Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yeah they are using the gold for the Olympics. Seems a bit silly. Wonder if they will release a silver or bronze away kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Using the gold accents would have made more sense for this season in the run-up to the Olympics. Those kits won't see much use until after the Olympics are over.However, it's still a good-looking kit. It's always nice to see Adidas make such a clean and conservative kit, in contrast to their usual fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Maybe they plan on winning. The MLS All Star game? They probably expected to win the league and now they're back tracking with the Olympic explanation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportstar1212 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The gold is useless. I can't say I'm a fan.Does anyone know when AC Milan will unveil their new kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I like the gold more as an accent than like, red. The current jerseys are pretty bad, and I'm glad this is an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spottedbadger Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 it's a huge improvement from the current shirt, but I'm not digging the gold at all. Why is the Samsung in gold as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That's actually the thing I like about it. The sponsor logo in white would cause it to stand out too much. I guess I'm just a traditonalist who doesn't like recoloring the crest on a shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdu Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That's actually the thing I like about it. The sponsor logo in white would cause it to stand out too much. Disagree. Now it just makes the white numbers and on the socks stick out too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 See, I think that's a good thing. The white socks are Chelsea's signature. They should stand out more than the sponsor logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
