Chelsea Away Shirt 10-11 Adidas Orange/Black

The Blues are wearing Orange! After the Chelsea 10/11 Home Shirt was released and put for sale, the club has launched their new 2010-2011 Away Kits, which are sure to cause some commotion amongst the Chelsea supporters. I think Adidas, Nike, and the other brands have forgotten that focus groups exist. This will be get a negative reaction in my opinion, like the new Manchester United 2010-2011 Home Shirt, which has most supporters angry. Chelsea have a sleek and well designed home shirt, keeping true to the club’s colours and history. Does the away kit do justice to the London-based club? You can be the judge of that.

Here’s the new 2010-2011 Chelsea Away Kit:

The shirt base is black, and the shirt is pin striped with gold/orange and white stripes. The Adidas stripes are also orange, and the logo has been adapted to fit the colours, being black and orange as well. It’s similar to what Adidas did with the logos on the 2009-2010 Chelsea Away, but with different colours.

Here’s a closer-up preview:

The colour is ridiculous. Can’t believe that the Premier League winners have to play their away games in this shirt and this colour. But it might just be me.

Here’s another preview with John Terry and Didier Drogba:

In this preview it looks a bit better, and I like that the front is slightly lighter than the shoulders, it adds some depth to the shirt in general. The shorts are very nice, and the socks are also a success. They are already for sale, and you can buy yours here:
