Unlike Inter Milan, there will be no major revolution in the future Chelsea jersey, also designed by Nike. The outfit for home games of the Blues will keep the same color even if chevrons will now offer a feeling of dynamism to the jersey officially unveiled on the club’s website.
Among other developments, the presence of midnight blue on the sleeves and collar as well as the change of the main sponsor on the front. Yokohama Tires gives way to Three, a British telecommunications company, a new partner of the London club. Also note that the replicas sold to supporters are made with a 100% recycled polyester fabric and from recycled plastic bottles.
A tunic inspired by master London tailors
The club’s top scorer this season, Tammy Abraham, gave his impression on his new outfit, which he compares squarely to a suit: “You can see the story behind the kit with its appearance and all the little touches that remind you a good suit. I think we will certainly be the best dressed team next season. “
The inscription “The Pride of London” actually appears on the side of Chelsea players, recalling “the labels sewn inside the costumes made in London”. A reference confirmed by Scott Munson, vice president of Nike Football Apparel: “London is the epicenter of men’s couture and the kit is inspired by this emblematic profession.”
Frank Lampard’s men will be able to honor this new jersey as of this Wednesday evening on the occasion of the Blues’ movement on the West Ham lawn in a London derby (21:15, to follow live on RMC Sport 1).
