Chelsea's home kit for the 2026/27 campaign has dropped - and it's different from previous years, to say the least.
First of all, the Blues have elected to go with a design which features a retro crest.
The yellow lion is the club crest for this coming season, which gives it a lovely old-world feel.
The Chelsea home kit for 2026/27 is something a little different
In previous seasons, Chelsea have gone for more of a training shirt aesthetic, but this time it looks like a proper matchday shirt.
Unfortunately, the Blues won't be able to show off their new threads on the continent after finishing 10th in the Premier League last season.
However, a strong first season under new boss Xabi Alonso could render this kit a much-loved one in years to come.
Now, for the potentially controversial aspect. Chelsea's official club crest is interwoven into the fabric on the front of the shirt.
Some of you will love it, others not so much. We're of the opinion that it's a nice touch - something different from the usual big club kit releases where you can hardly tell what's changed from one year to the next.
Chelsea's official press release reads: "The 2026/27 campaign is the 75th season since Ted Drake took over as Chelsea manager and reshaped the club’s identity. He replaced the Pensioners nickname with the Blues and the now-iconic lion symbol was introduced."
