Chelsea fans left fuming as new home kit for 2024/25 season is ‘leaked’ online

Chelsea fans have vented their frustrations after having a first look at the 'leaked' home kit for next season.

Even with half of the current campaign left to play, details of the Blues' new strip have already seemingly emerged online.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are well known for donning royal blue, with this season's kit a throwback to their 1997/98 strip.

It also features gold detail on the badge and Nike tick, but Chelsea could be set to display a different colourway next season.

Images 'leaked' online by footyheadlines reveal that the supposed new jersey features red-orange on the collar and around the badge.

There is also white lining that goes all over the front in an unusual design, with some fans on social media not liking what they've seen.

Taking to X, one frustrated fan said: «That is so s*** I'm not f****** wearing that.»

«Haha, what is this BS,» a second simply asked.

A third added: «Mamma mia it’s terrible. How do you design something like that?»

«This might be the worst Chelsea jersey of all time,» said a fourth as fans eagerly await the official release of the design.

It's not the first time orange has featured on a Chelsea kit, with their 2021/22 third strip being the most recent to include it.

The Blues' current kits did not feature a front-of-shit sponsor at the start of the season following a lengthy wait for a new deal to come in.

Infinite Athlete first appeared in Chelsea's 2-0 win away at Fulham in October after signing a reported £40million deal until the end of the season.

They also recently welcomed BingX, a cryptocurrency exchange firm, as their new sleeve sponsor.
