Today saw Chelsea FC unveil their third kit for 2018-19, modeled by forward Eden Hazard on the club (and his own personal) Twitter page. It features a different shade of blue and horizontal stripes. The kit also features something called Nike Connect, which is only available in certain markets.

For example, it is estimated 54,000 balls are used at Wimbledon each year, while over 40 miles of string is fitted to 2,000 rackets over a fortnight.

A new Manchester United retro kit, which leaked this past January, is now showing up for sale online. The Adidas China website was the first to make the shirt available, for a price under £60.
