Chelsea have released a yellow away kit for the upcoming Premier League season - and supporters are convinced it's a ploy to lure Erling Haaland's signature.
Speculation over the Borussia Dortmund sensation continues to mount this summer transfer window.
Indeed, ever since his representatives - including super agent Mino Raiola - were pictured in Spain amid proposed talks with Barcelona and Real Madrid, the suggestion is Haaland might be on the move.
Dortmund remain firm in their stance, though, especially on the back of losing Jadon Sancho to Manchester United for £79.2million.
It was initially thought the German side would only be willing to sanction summer transfers for one of those two.
However, on the back of beating Manchester City in last season's Champions League final, Chelsea continue to be linked with a £150million Haaland pursuit, which would no doubt shake-up the Premier League.
City, too, remain credited with an interest - despite turning their attentions to Jack Grealish and, more relevantly, England captain Harry Kane from Tottenham.
Regardless of where those three are playing their football this season, Chelsea will hit the road for their upcoming Premier League charge in yellow.
Of course, that's famously what Dortmund - and Haaland - wear in the Bundesliga.
Calculated or coincidence? Well according to these Chelsea fans, it's a commercial decision which might just have been made with an ulterior motive to bolster their recruitment drive.
Here are a selection of comments they have made on social media about the 2021/2022 away kit release;
