Chelsea have unveiled their third kit for the 2015/16 season - and it seems the new all-black 'tyre-inspired' strip is already a fans' and players' favourite.
The Blues released images of the Adidas strip on Friday morning, which consists of a black shirt, black socks and black shorts that gradually turn white towards the bottom.
The third kit - which is already available for fans to buy - will be debuted by Jose Mourinho's side when they travel to play West Brom on Sunday.
And, after the Blues released images of the all-black strip on Friday, many Chelsea supporters took to Twitter to admit they rather liked the "tidy" and "neat" kit.

Chelsea left-back Cesar Azpilicueta also used social media to express his delight at wearing an all-black strip this season after he wrote on Instagram: "Back in Black!" next to an image of himself modelling the third kit.
This is the first season Chelsea will have Yokohama Rubber on the front of their shirts following the club's five-year deal with the tyre manufacturer - thought to be worth about £40 million per year.
