They say “there’s no accounting for taste”, and football shirts in the age of social media prove that adage beyond all doubt.
Chelsea have released their kit for next season today, and there are an equal number of people posting vomiting emojis as there are people posting drooling emojis.
No matter what they think, people have managed some pretty comments on the distinctive new look.
See a small selection of the social media frenzy below:

After surprising everyone with a fantastic Chelsea kit for their debut season as shirt manufacturers, Nike surprise nobody by trying to be too clever & ruining it with their next effort. Looks like the 'expect thrilling' team were let loose in the design studio with their crayons pic.twitter.com/JDKLDOUm5E

“Ah shit, we were supposed to do the new Chelsea kit by Friday!” “Ok, don’t panic, just take the existing ones and put some shit lines on it…” There we are. £75 please!

Our kit should be clean, it should be obvious it's a Chelsea shirt. This kit is neither

It's a retro shirt, I'm down with it. It's not the best but not the worst, still buy it though.
