Craig HillChelsea Home Shirt 2008/09 Champions League Final Embroidery
May 13th 2008 04:15
With the richest club owner in world football, Chelsea hardly needs the revenue from merchandise sales so it is safe to assume that the special edition Chelsea Home Shirt 2008/09 with Champions League Final Embroidery is for commemorative purposes only.
Afterall, reaching the final of Europe's elite club competition is a cause for celebration in itself and having reached the final for the first time in the club's history, you can forgive them for getting a little carried away.
As you are probably aware, this special edition shirt is based on the new kit design for the forthcoming English Premier League season 2008/09 with the only difference from the standard shirt being the the orange embroidery on the player's right chest which says "FINAL MOSCOW 2008 - 21st May LUZHNIKI STADIUM Manchester United v Chelsea".
Priced at £49.99, it is exactly £10 more than the shirt without the embroidery - perhaps Chelsea needs the money afterall?
But what if Manchester United end up clinching a Premier League and Champions League double? Chelsea fans will be rewarded with an extra £10 out of pocket and bittersweet memories.
