UPDATED: A photo of supposed Chelsea’s home shirt for the 2012-13 season has been leaked on the Internet. However, it has been revealed as a fake.

If true, and it certainly looks like the real deal, I love it. Chelsea’s famous blue shirt is enhanced by thin diagonal lines across the shirt chest. Plus the white trim shown at the bottom of the sleeve and in the collar complements the blue well, and has an added red trim. And to top it all off, you have the famous three stripes down the sleeves.

The shirt features a simple and elegant style that is sure to be a hit, off the pitch, among Chelsea fans. Now they’ll  just have to fix their on-the-pitch performances to match the quality of the shirt.
