| Bright white: Chelsea's new away kit is partly in homage to the white kits of the 1960s |
Jose Mourinho is back at Chelsea but there will be a distinct Real Madrid look about his side next season in the form of their new away kit.
The stylish strip will be worn by the Europa League winners next season and is predominantly white - as shown here by Sportsmail.
Juan
Mata, Fernando Torres and Demba Ba continue the club's innovative blue
paint theme to parade the adidas number which pays homage to the club's
iconic white kits during the 1960s with blue and red trim - the use of
red returns to club's kit for the first time since the 2010/11 home
shirt.

The kit incorporates
ClimaCool technology which kit makers adidas say provides 3D fabrics to
improve air flow to the players skin in key heat zones to improve
performance.
The new strip, which retails at £49.99, is available to pre-order now and goes on sale next month on July 4.
It
comes on the back of the release of their home shirt, which had a huge
marketing campaign around it involving stars being dunked in vats of
blue paint.
That campaign is referenced in these pictures, with paint on the arms of Mata, Ba and Torres.

Mourinho
was in action for the first time since being appointed Chelsea manager,
as he took charge of a World XI side playing against Michael Ballack
and Friends on Wednesday night - in the German's testimonial.
He
watched Andre Schurrle - a player Chelsea are close to signing for
£20million - in the flesh and managed some of his former Blues players
in Florent Malouda and Didier Drogba.
