After a few leaks came through in the past few days of a new white/pale blue away kit for Chelsea next season, today has seen the official release of the new away kit for the 2012/13 season.

I think that's pretty neat, with the diagonal sash a much more eye-pleasing design feature that Chelsea's previous efforts, while the gradient on the Adidas stripes is a nice touch. I'm no fashionsta, so do share what you think of the club's River Plate inspired offering.
