Chelsea have unveiled their new home kit for the 2105-16 season.

The new kit is, as expected, royal blue with a new button collar and trimmed with white and red.

Diego Costa, John Terry, Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and Oscar helped launch the adidas strip by starring in a photoshoot as part of the new campaign "If it's not blue, it will be" campaign.

The shirt will be worn on the Chelsea's pre-season tour to North America with games against the New York Red Bulls Barcelona and French Ligue One Champions Paris St Germain

A formal reveal will take place at a grass roots football event in Harlem on July 21 ahead of the kit going on general sale a day later.

The home shirt design stays loyal to tradition, taking inspiration from several classic 1980s shirts by using several design features which made these kits fan favorites.

With white and red trims at the collar, sleeves, shorts and socks the kit celebrates these club colours and ties back to the club`s kit history.

Vertical pinstripes underline this celebration of Blues' history, having been a feature of several iconic shirts from the past 30 years.

Alongside the central design details, the 2015/16 shirt also includes a unique feature, a fingerprint woven onto a label on each shirt.

The fingerprint is a symbol of each individual's identity and by placing this on the shirt is a move by adidas to closer connect the fans to the club.

The new shirt also includes the latest adidas performance technologies designed to allow players to be faster and more comfortable on the field.

Climacool ventilation technology, designed to help keep the body cool and dry through breathable materials, fabrics and special stitching which provides greater freedom of movement are all included.

Chelsea will begin their title defence against Swansea on August 8.
