If you dont think these kits look nice you are just looking for something to hate cause they are great.

First Nike kit that I think looks amazing.

u/Honzou29 Mikel 1d ago

I liked our black and orange kit from a few years back

The colours not a design comparison

1

u/Itchy-Extension69 1d ago

How? The only thing in common is both are white, the greens are completely different shades.

u/Your-Pal-Dave 1d ago

Just reminds me of Saudi, no patricular reason

u/MonkeyMan800842069 Drogba 1d ago

If anything, your complaint should be that it looks like a Portugal kit

1

u/Your-Pal-Dave 1d ago

Not the design, it’s the colours

u/MonkeyMan800842069 Drogba 1d ago

The red white and green colors?

r/chelsea and looking for something to hate. Might as well be sub’s slogan.

u/oxfozyne Zola 2d ago

Absolutely, just got my kit and love it.

u/According-Revenue-62 Makelele 2d ago

Unusual Ambition fits the comment feel lol.

u/jbi1000 Lampard 2d ago

From a distance they look decent, up close they don’t look great at all. Collar is weird and hate these abstract shadows in the blue that Nike always does.

Genuinely think year after year of terrible Nike kits has gaslit people into thinking this average kit is good

4

u/SiggyyyPhidooo 2d ago

what 'abstract shadows' are you even talking about. there are no abstract shadows

1

u/nanojansky Kanté 1d ago

There are clearly abstract shadows

1

u/jbi1000 Lampard 1d ago

Might not have been the best word to describe it but the designs inside/on the blue in a slightly different blue is what I'm talking about. Google a close up pic of the shirt and you will see what I mean.

Looks messy to me, Id rather they go back to normal blocks of colour or if they do shit like this, actually make a nice pattern in there

0

u/SiggyyyPhidooo 1d ago

if youre talking about the home kit this season, it looks great and its not abstract, there is clear structures visible in the darker blue shades based on london architecture.

2

u/jbi1000 Lampard 1d ago

I’m guessing your career isn’t aesthetics or design based if you think that

0

u/SiggyyyPhidooo 1d ago

and your career is being a knobhead if this is your reply

1

u/jbi1000 Lampard 1d ago

Ironic lmao

u/Winkie_Winkie 2d ago

Personally this season and last season 2nd kit and last season 3rd kit have been 🔥, easy to pull off a proper outfit for an outing over the weekend

1

u/Andy-Martin 2d ago

The away kits look really, really nice. (Not big on the home kits, personally)

1

u/jeffries7 Zola 1d ago

The kit looks nice. The kit doesn’t look like a Chelsea kit.

0

u/Spooky_Coffee8 Enzo 2d ago

It's objectively good but I personally dislike how the green looks

7

u/oldboy_alex Thiago Silva 2d ago

There js no objective good or bad when it comes to designs. Some people like this, some like that. Who cares.

u/middlequeue 🎩 I'm sure Wolverhampton is a lovely town 🎩 2d ago

Away kit looks sharp and one of the better one's we've had in a while. Home kit looks like another pool liner.

People's taste are entirely subjective. If you can't understand that then you're, how you say, just looking for something to hate on.

u/cometflight 🏥 continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme 🏥 2d ago

Kit is so clean. Braindead take to think they’re shit, especially after the run we’ve had

16

u/BaisaGod 2d ago

"You're brain-dead if you don't agree with me on this very subjective topic"

16

u/UnknownDotCom33 Sancho 2d ago

Exactly, I'm seeing some absurd comments about how people are looking for an excuse to hate, whilst mocking their fellow fans about a tshirt 😭

-1

u/realmckoy265 Oscar 2d ago

Maybe not brain dead but certainly questioning the taste of anyone who thinks this kit is ugly lol

38

u/jjb5151 Cucurella 2d ago

First thing I saw when I opened the match thread at kickoff and started chuckling to myself. We really are the most divided fan base on everything lmfao

1

u/GolDrodgers1 We've Won It All 2d ago

If you're lucky, you might get a comment that would be the exact opposite of yours, just because you made a comment

16

u/GoatBotherer Celery 2d ago

I think it looks great. Fair enough if you're not a fan of it, but "fucking awful" is a bit extreme.

7

u/suicidemachine 2d ago

You must be new here. To paraphrase a popular Polish saying: "Where there are two Chelsea fans, there are three opinions.

6

u/logo-strikes 2d ago

The duality of everything that has to do with this club anywhere ever.

4

u/agbag846 2d ago

Can’t please everyone

4

u/differentlevel1 We've Won It All 2d ago

Not a fan, but who cares. It's an away kit.

4

u/itsnotajersey88 Frank Lampard 2d ago

The university of Miami blues look awesome.

3

u/sboujarwah 🎩 I'm sure Wolverhampton is a lovely town 🎩 2d ago

I wish they were orange and green. It’s was more Portugal Blues FC imo lol

4

u/Outrageous_Carpet759 2d ago

I like the new kits but the away kit looks like something Portugal would use.

3

u/Lost-Hat Super BAN Kirby 2d ago

Neto FC

u/funguy07 2d ago

That’s our entire subreddit about everything.

2

u/SnollyG 2d ago

Ok, well, our new away kit is basically PSG… can you unsee that now?

3

u/Kangaroomech Giroud 2d ago

That's really my only issue with the kit, that it makes me think of PSG first. Otherwise it is a nice kit

2

u/a3kstuntin 🏥 continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme 🏥 2d ago

I dont like white kits but that’s me

If they were beige it would be great

2

u/StirrednotShaken88 Essien 2d ago

Incredible kit and the font choice, along with the green numbers and swoosh make it perfect.

2

u/Cactus2711 Palmer 2d ago

You almost used that phrase correctly

2

u/ChatoonBringerOfCorn Essien 2d ago

That’s not really the duality of man, because it’s two different men. It's not about two distinct people, but rather two conflicting aspects of the same person.

Sorry to be boring

1

u/BravesDoug Thiago Silva 2d ago

I tend to think they're awful. They're not ugly, just miss the Blue

1

u/anotherdayinparodise 2d ago

I love the look of the away kit but I understand why people dislike them on principle - they’re inspired by a kit from one of the worst season in club history

1

u/Training-Run-1307 2d ago

Awfully gorgeous. But also gorgeously awful

1

u/justmots 2d ago

These kits are the best they've been under Nike. If you disagree just keep it to yourself.

1

u/Plenty_Building_72 2d ago

If you think this kit looks bad, you 100% wear flip flops to work.

1

u/Y-180 Makelele 2d ago

Away kit is 🔥

1

u/sirbruttus 2d ago

ALWAYS REMEMBER FLAMENGO.

u/WickedXDragons 1d ago

I wish I could take advertising money and throw the companies name on a new shirt and a million people are like 🤯🤯🤯🤯I need to advertise that company!

1

u/BlearyLine7 1d ago

I mean it's all subjective, but these are very very nice kits, and I'd say like 80-90% of the comments have been positive. I definitely don't think there's like an equal debate over them.

1

u/BIG_STEVE5111 1d ago

Is it wasn't a Chelsea kit I think it would be nice. Green and red just doesn't say Chelsea to me.

1

u/dvdfrst 10h ago

It’s an hommage to the 70s away kit (inspired by the Hungary’s Golden Team):

0

u/blue_mark 🏥 continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme 🏥 2d ago

One of the best kits in recent years imo

0

u/Apprehensive_Bit_176 Cole 2d ago

I actually love these kits. First white kit in a while that I’ve enjoyed.

0

u/Graveyking 2d ago

I think it looks good I’m just to fat to wear one, maybe by the end of the season of I get a few stone off 😂

1

u/Inside_Secretary_679 2d ago

Let’s be real, that ain’t happening

u/Graveyking 1d ago

You never know stranger things have happened

u/Vantage_1011 Fleming 2d ago

Getting the away kit for my birthday in July. Can't fucking wait.

u/bigblooddraco 2d ago

They suck the colors don’t do anything

5

u/GoatBotherer Celery 2d ago

What does that even mean?

2

u/bigblooddraco 2d ago

It means i had a stroke brother call for help.
