Chelsea's home and away kits for next season have apparently been linked by a Dutch website.

The Blues, suffering through the worst season since Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003, have little to play for this season, following a terrible week that saw them crash out of the FA Cup and Champions League and see their slim chances at finishing in a European place all but extinguish.

Supporters of the club will have to console themselves with the fact that the season is nearly done and they can look forward to a summer of new arrivals and a new manager as Abramovich attempts to get the club back among the elite.

Of course, a new season will bring a new kit.

Dutch football website VoetbalShirtjes claim to have got their hands on a both the home and away kits for the Blues next season. The kit is very similar to a earlier design the usually reliable FootyHeadlines released back in December.

The new sample contains the same blue shirt with white trim and the all-over pattern of miniature Chelsea lions on the background of the shirt.

However, the earlier design featured a red 'Y' on the Yokohama sponsorship logo, while the new sample features a white 'Y', while the word 'tyres' has been added.

If the story is believed then the Blues have continued their tradition of releasing garish away shirts.

This one features grey and black horizontal stripes with a neon yellow trim.
