Today sees Chelsea Football Club and adidas combine to launch our new away kit for the 2012/13 season, and supporters are in for a real treat.

The strip is a modern design with a classic twist, featuring a light aqua diagonal flash across the main white body, and the first ever fading three stripe pattern on both sleeves.

A navy v-neck collar and trim ensures that all the various colours synonymous with our success in recent years are well represented, while the shirt also features the adidas TechFit technology, which has been proven to enhance performance.

The kit, which will be available to buy at both the Stamford Bridge and Kingston Megastores on Thursday 5 July, will be worn for the first time during our pre-season tour of the USA when we face the MLS Allstars on 25 July in Philadelphia.

However, for those supporters who are unable to wait until next month, and to guarantee delivery on 5 July, you can pre-order your kit by clicking here.
