Chelsea's home shirt has been leaked again - but this time the clearer image shows finer detail than has been seen in previous pcitures.

The Blues are yet to officially release their new kits for next season but various leaks have all shown a similar style, that includes red trim for the firs time in five years.

The latest leak appeared on the reliable FootyHeadlines and shows that the kit doesn't feature a round-neck collar, but a button that is hidden under the material with a classic polo collar.

The royal blue kit also features subtle pinstripes woven into the shirt.

It is rumoured that the kit could feature white socks - there had been previous speculation that the club may ditch the traditional white for blue, which hasn't been used since 1992 and coincides with a relatively unsuccessful period of the club's history.

The adidas made shirt will carry the Yokohoma Tire logo for the first time next season after the Japanese firm agreed a £40million-a-year sponsorship deal with the club in February.
