Chelsea reveal 2016-17 away shirt as they try to reclaim Premier League title from Leicester
Blues will play in a dark green top with lime green details in final year of their contract with German giants Adidas
CHELSEA have revealed their away kit for next season which will see the Blues play in dark grey with bright green details.
Oscar, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Nemanja Matic, Kenedy and Diego Costa were chosen to model the new strip, described as "striking" in a press release.
The Stamford Bridge club are heading into their final year with Adidas, which will end an 11-year relationship.
After agreeing in May to end their contract with the German company six years early, the Blues are expected to turn to Nike.
A likely £60million-a-year deal will net Chelsea double what they were earning before.
