We have naturally taken a closer look at the shirt, so come along.

Even if Mourinho, last weekend, chose to call off Chelsea's chances of taking home the Premier League trophy for this season; we still see Chelsea as a candidate to take the title. Adidas are already looking ahead to then ext season, and whether or nor Chelsea will take the title, there is certainly no need to worry about not being well dressed for the 14/15 season.

The home shirt comes in the royal blue colour that Chelsea is so known for. But they have actually not always been wearing this colour. All the way back to in the beginning, the official Chelsea colour was Eton, which is a greenish nuance of blue and was the colour that the club owner, Earl Cadogan, wore as a jockey. These colours were, although, replaced in 1912 with the royal blue that we know today, and has become such as strong symbol for the love that the club carries.

The home shirt comes with a stripe design, inspired by the end of the 1980's and beginning of the 90's. With a dark and bright blue nuance on the front, and the characteristic royal blue colour on the back, this home shirt is a mix of the best of two time periods.
