CHELSEA have been trolled by Crystal Palace over their new third kit which looks exactly like the Eagles’ home strip.
The Blues released images of their new alternative strip and fans online were quick to slam the red and blue stripes which would look far more at home at Selhurst Park.
Fans have slammed Chelsea’s new kit saying it looks just like Crystal Palace’s home strip
Palace were quick to troll the Blues’ ‘It’s a London Thing’ hashtag
Chelsea shared photos of the new kit alongside a caption that read: “Meet a new legacy. The 2020-21 @nikefootball third kit is here!
“One for the sneakerheads, inspired by the 1990s Ultramarine Air Max 180 and classic shirts of the past!
“Available 10.09.20. #ItsAChelseaThing.”
But Palace were clearly not impressed by the new slogan and cut them down in one fell swoop with a hilarious rebuttal.
They quote tweeted the post and simply wrote: “#It’sNotThoughIsIt.”
The post received more than 41,000 likes and fans piled on in the comments too.
One simply wrote: “Are you Palace in disguise?”
Another tweeted: “Wanted to be like Barcelona but ended up like Crystal Palace.”
And Nathan added: “Surprised their isn’t an eagle on it.”
Although most fans were taking shots at the new strip, one Leeds fan quipped: “To be fair, it’s the only way Crystal Palace will see anything north of 12th place this season is by Chelsea wearing their kit.”
Chelsea released their away kit on July 7 and that got a bad rap too with supporters saying it looks more like pyjamas than a football shirt.
