Chelsea’s 2020-21 home kit brings a touch of Savile Row to Stamford Bridge by blending the latest in athletic innovation with the finesse of fine London tailoring.

Inspired by west London’s long association with master tailors and their exquisite craftsmanship, the Blues’ new home jersey ventures into the realm of statement shirting. 

A luscious, textured, modern classic, wholly befitting the capital’s most stylish club. 

The new kit has dark blue tape running down the sides of the torso and is embossed with the phrase, ‘The Pride of London’. 

Both the font and the indigo lettering are reminiscent of the labels sewn inside London-crafted suits. 

White socks, decorated with a Nike Swoosh and a Chelsea lion, complete a sharp head-to-toe look.
