Quote from: The Grauniad
Chelsea are set to receive approval from the Premier League for Infinite Athlete to become their new shirt sponsor. The Stamford Bridge club have been waiting for the deal, which is understood to be worth around £40m a year, to be given the green light.
£40m per year?!! - we are so far behind the commercial big-hitters.
They've been qualifying for Europe reasonably consistently for the past 25 years, and have won 5 league titles, 6 FA Cups, and 3 league cups in that period. Plus 2 European Cups, 2 UEFA Cups, a Cup Winners Cup, and a European Super Cup. Which makes them more successful in the past quarter of a century than we have been in our entire history.

In the same period we've won the Inter Toto Cup.

And that's why they get £40m/year sponsorship and we get some dodgy east Asian bookmaker.

Those trophies would put them on 19 mjaor honours. We're on 20. So not quite  8)

never pay full price for shirts - get them from http://www.messi100.com/

Shame they don't do kids shirts

I just ordered from the JJ sport (thanks edgysats) With intro discount (you don’t have to actually post the Twitter links btw to get the codes to show) I got 2 personalised with names and ages on shirts (comes with shorts, doesn’t look like socks) for £24 something it’s showing on my cc, I thought it was £23something so watch out for discrepancies;  Dh gate I’d looked at before was a bit more I think, but confusing number of shops within.


Club shop £55, customised £70 each

So £24 Vs £140 for two customised infant kits (though I think no socks, and quality to be discovered)

Of course it’s business and we have to compete etc but at those prices there’s no way I could even think about doing it, if this works out I could probably do it every year…

Just to say apparently these have been delivered, one day short of 8 weeks which had been disappointing but at least they have, will be intrigued to see the quality tomorrow…

My first instinct is are they the right claret, but then I watch MOTD2 and think the same as they come out. No idea how they’ll wash, and there were clearly supply issues tbf they did flag at point of ordering, though I wouldn’t have pressed buy if I’d known it’d be a day shy of 8 weeks wait, but presuming that was unusual, i would buy again, I can’t really argue with £24 for two personalised kids shirts (and shorts) compared to the £140 club shop option.  Might be a seasonal purchase at these prices. (Feel sad not to support the club, but..)

Looking at the pics on the club site they all look like they've smeared vaseline down their fronts. I'd imagine it's a bit less hot than it was a few weeks ago, which might mean slightly less sweat, but they're still awful looking.

Vicks is probably more likely. But it looks the same.

The few times my brother has used them they haven't taken that long so I think you just got unlucky there.

I didn't mind the third kit. Especially so with the Aston Villa Foundation as sponsor on the front!

The kit design is an abomination, same template as wolves away . Nice sponsor change though, but Jesus we can do better surely
