Chelsea and adidas have officially released photos of the new home kit for the 2012-13 season.
The most prominent new feature of the Chelsea home shirt is that the trim is completely in gold — everything from the three stripes down the sleeve, to the club crest as well as the adidas and Samsung logos. There’s also a gold ‘CFC’ motif on the rear of the neck, while subtle dark blue stripes are featured through the front of the shirt. There’s also gold piping around the arms and neck. This design detail is repeated through the shorts and socks.
The addition of the gold color to the Chelsea kit is to celebrate the 2012 Summer Olympics or, as adidas refers to it in their press release, “the year of sport and celebration in the capital in 2012.”
Here’s a close-up image of the shirt:
The new Chelsea home kit will be available to buy May 10th 2012 but can be pre-ordered online at www.chelseafc.com/megastore.

I love it so much. It looks cool and classy

Gaffer – On a completely different topic – I’d like to see you write an article on the diving/simulation problem that is plaguing the league – what can be done about it?
So many angry/disgruntled individuals on this site…it amazes me.
LOL Chelsea are now “Goodfellas”…gold and blue, I bet the russian loves the gold! OMG LOL
How chintzy is that kit, is New jersey on their list of locations in the US this summer?
The grief from the stands will be great! I can’t wait
“Chelsea are now “Goodfellas”…gold and blue” – I think we all fail to see the correlation.
Awesome looking kit.
Also that’s not silver it’s platinum cuz Roman rolls like that.
Also Gaffer,
Was wondering if you could add the SPL to the schedule list or at least Celtic and Rangers?
Am I color blind or does that look more silver than gold? Either way, I hate Chelsea but I really like this kit. Well done. I hope Arsenal are taking notes
To me it only looks like gold on the goalkeeper’s kit and silver on the regular kit.
plane and simple which is nice in a way 🙂 its not what i thought it was going to look like.
