Fans React to New Chelsea Kit from Nike

 


    Chelsea is known for their solid royal blue kits, but since they've partnered with Nike, fans have had mixed reactions to the intricate designs. Reading the comments on X and Facebook reveals an overwhelming majority who are calling for Chelsea to go back to Adidas. People don't want jerseys that look like superhero costumes. All we want are classic and iconic jerseys with a sponsor and logo. It is not very hard to do; however, Nike doesn't seem to care because they keep putting these weird looking designs out there. 

    Naturally, there are some fans who love everything Chelsea. Comments of approval are really pushed by those people who are trying to get people hyped for next season. They were always going to by the kit, even if it was red. Those comments are scattered among the numerous disapproving comments by fans who are well known in the Blues community. 

Here are a few of them:







    Some people like the kit, but most people with positive comments on Eden Hazard's picture were about him as a player. Very few actually had nice things to say about the kit. 




This one below here brings up a good point. 



Last year we went almost half the season without a sponsor on the kit, which was a problem for fans who bought the blank kit early in the season. As soon as we got a sponsor, the kit no longer matched what the players were wearing. Sponsors are part of what make the jerseys iconic. I still have my Adidas Chelsea jersey with the Samsung sponsor. Whenever I think of Kante and Hazard, I see Yokohama on the solid blue. It will be interesting to find out who will be sponsoring the club this season. Reports say that the club may be looking for a Saudi sponsor. We shall see. 

What do you think of the jersey? Do you like the design or should they go back to Adidas?

Chelsea Select New Manager

Chelsea Settled on Enzo Maresca © Provided by Metro      There had been much speculation about who would be replacing Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea, but they have finally come to a decision. An agreement has been reached with Leicester City to sign Enzo Maresca for 10 million pounds. While he wasn’t on the top of any short list that I’ve read over the last week, Maresca might fit perfectly into the new Sporting Directors’ plan. Who is Enzo Maresca?      Enzo Maresca is a 44-year-old Italian former player with the likes of Juventus and Sevilla. After spending some time as an assistant coach under Pellegrini at West Ham, a failed stint as manager at Parma, and assistant coach under Pep Guardiola at Man City, Maresca just led Leicester city to a Championship title and promotion back into the Premier League. There are some who have voiced concern over his short stint at Serie B club, Parma, that resulted in being sacked after a dozen or so games, but the disciple of Guardiola has promise.

 Enzo Fernandez Racist Chant Has Team Divided      Enzo Fernandez came under fire after a video surfaced of the Argentinian National team chanting racist remarks. Argentina was awarded the Copa America 2024 after defeating Colombia 1-0 on a day shrouded by controversy. The game was delayed over an hour after fans created chaos by storming the gates. Hundreds of fans climbed the gates and entered the stadium without tickets, leaving those with tickets outside while security attempted to restore order. The game ended with an Argentine victory, but the players are facing the aftershock of their celebration song.  Fernandez, midfielder for Chelsea, posted a video on Instagram of the team chanting about the French National team. They are singing about the players being from Africa but documented as French. It targets Mbappe directly, whose father is from Cameroon, and his mother is from Algeria. Shortly after posting the video, his Chelsea teammate and French national player, Wesley Fofana

Chelsea Legend Unhappy with Manager Departure

 Chelsea Legend Unhappy with Manager Firing       The decision to release Mauricio Pochettino has been a shock to many of the players and coaching staff. One Chelsea legend and current academy coach took to Instagram to express his feelings about the departure. John Terry, longtime defender and team captain during their most successful era, wrote that he is "gutted" by Poch's exit. Chelsea fans share in his hope that players are not bought or sold until the next manager is selected.      If the sporting directors or ownership at Stamford Bridge had any sense, they would listen to the five-time EPL winner. They need to figure out the new manager's tactics and formation so they can collaborate on acquiring players who will fit their style of play. That was one of the problems all of the five managers have had in the last couple of years. They all picked up a squad arranged by the previous manager that didn't fit the formation or tactic. Also, the players couldn'
