Chelsea kit launch: Fans fury at ‘pure greed’ as new Blues shirt is priced at £106

Next season's top incredibly costs £32 more than the cheapest Barcelona SEASON ticket at famous Nou Camp

CHELSEA fans will be forced to shell out nearly £150 to wear a replica of next season’s kit.

The new strip was released today and many expressed anger over the eye-watering price tag.

To buy a shirt with a name, number and Premier League logo will cost an astonishing £106.95.

Chuck in the shorts (£30) and socks (£13) for a grand total of £149.95.

To put the cost into perspective, a season ticket to watch Barcelona at the Nou Camp costs just £74.

Any Blues fan unfortunate enough to support England as well will be faced with a double whammy.

The England Euro 2016 kit — introduced less than a year after the old top — also comes in at over £100. Expensive fun for all the family.

Three Lions fans have voiced their frustration about the new design after it was debuted against Holland.

Nike have produced shirts for several countries — including France and the USA — which look very similar.

Supporters were also dismayed with the colour scheme which ditched red in favour of light blue.

A cheaper version of the full replica shirt can be bought for £50 before printing costs.
