Chelsea merchandise - Reveal your list!

As supporters of football clubs, we do a lot of things to show our support. We buy season tickets, get official subscription, buy club merchandise or simply support them by watching or talking or blogging. In short, we devote a lot of time or/and money for the club we support, just because we love the club. For the supporters, to buy the club merchandise is is a matter of joy and pride as it gives them a feeling that they have contributed to the club in some way.

Being in India, I don’t have the privilege of using the season ticket but there are few other things I have bought. I own a couple of Chelsea jerseys (Drogba white & Shevchenko blue), the season review DVDs of the three seasons 03-04, 04-05, 05-06 & 06-07, a Chelsea TV online subscription, a nice looking blue-tinted night lamp with the chelsea logo on it, a soft plush cushion with a huge sized Chelsea logo and few other tiny goodies and accessories for my car.

The thing with the jerseys was that they don’t fit me well. I happen to have a physique that right between two available sizes. I wanted to buy either a Essien jersey or Terry jersey. My cousin (fellow blue) tricked me into buying a Sheva jersey because he is a massive fan of Sheva from his mid-Milan days. I love Sheva too but I’d have preferred Terry/Essien. And then the Drogba jersey was gifted to me by my friend (that’s blue devil as you know). The cute night lamp was gifted to me by my colleagues at work, as they realised that I had something to do with a football club that has a feminine name. Buying the season review DVDs was the best thing I have done and that money could not have been spent on something better than that. If I could do it, I would upload all those into bluechampions for all of you.

I’m also planning to buy bright yellow John Terry jersey and the blue revolution DVD very soon. There is this miniature of Stamford Bridge, which you can build with the given pieces. The replica looks so superb that I’m tempted to buy it and place it on my desk at office.

What about you? Share your stories about the Chelsea merchandise that you owned, you currently own or planning to own.

I currently have an ‘It’s In The Blood’ scarf sitting in my draw here at university, along with all the magazines released since the start of last season (when I first became a member). For Christmas, my parents didn’t know what to get me, so they went for the safe option and got me Chelsea slippers and a Chelsea mug.

I have the home shirt from this and last season, and the centenary one from the season before that. Both of those have no name on the back; those are for the players, and it’s much cheaper! I haven’t bought an away shirt yet, seeing as the blue is the definitive symbol of the club and the more essential of the two.

A few days ago, I started a monthly subscription to Chelsea Plus. I’ve just watched the highlights from the first ever Chelsea game I watched, the 2-2 home draw against Monaco in the Champions League four seasons ago. I remember now that by the time I’d sat down and become curious, all four goals had already happened, so all of them were new to me. The Chelsea in that game, in going 2-0 up and then going back to 2-2 in the first fifteen minutes of the second half, was in no way the same as the one Mourinho formed just a few months later.

I finally got to see the image that made me become a Chelsea supporter again, after almost four years, at the end of the highlights: Eidur Gudjohnsen crying after the final whistle. He may not be around anymore, but he’s made sure I will be for a long time to come.

King Blues - The miniature Stamford Bridge costs £150 at the Chelsea megastore. I really want it, it looks so very neat.

I have the home 2006/08 blue shirt, no name on the back. Also have the 2006/07 European black shirt with Shevchenko 7 on the back. That is a great shirt, I don’t know why we didn’t keep it. If you count magazines, I have one. :P I live in Australia so it’s much harder to get the merchandise here than if I lived in the UK. >_<

Currently I have:

(3) Kits
- Lampard 2006-2007 League Third Kit
- Terry 2006-2007 CL Third Kit
- Essien 2006-2007 League Away White
(1) Chelsea FC Honours Poster (It lists all the silverware CFC has ever won)

I’m a bit strapped for cash for right now, but I’m definitely in the hunt for more. It’s pretty frustrating though with the lack of good sources for merchandise in the US. I wish the US Megastore Chelsea launched had the same merchandise you could get from before by ordering from the UK.

Go Blues!

I ‘karma’ed you for your noble thought of turning your bedroom into a small Chelsea museum! The very thought is exciting. Wish I could that in mine! I have this Chelsea supporting cousin of mine who wanted paint the house blue but had to face stiff domestic opposition until he dropped the idea :-)

I have two home jerseys, one without name, and one with Didier Drogba. Also one caps, (the blue cap with 3 white stripes). I plan on getting the third jersey with either Ballack or Essien. Trying to acquire the Blue Revolutions DVD locally in Canada for a decent price without getting dinged on import taxes!
