6. Chelsea

"Inoffensive" seems to be the very low bar set for 2017/18's kits, and Chelsea's new garb - regardless of what you may think of the club - is precisely that. Absolutely plain as a peach.

Unlike most of their Premier League counterparts, the champions' regalia is devoid of silly ornamentation or detailing. This is rare for defending title holders - you'd expect a bit of gilding around the badge, at least.

In fact, it's so free of clutter and general nonsense that it nearly doesn't look like a football shirt at all, save for the massive advert for a Japanese tyre firm on the front. Understated, but unexciting.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
