The1905.Club Summary

Potential images of Chelsea’s 2025/26 home and away kits have emerged online, generating mixed reactions. The home kit remains predominantly royal blue but features an asymmetric pattern with diagonal lines and contrasting shades. A white and navy split collar and underarm trim with red and white streaks add further design elements.

Meanwhile, the leaked away kit is a base-white design with a striking red and green centre stripe, reminiscent of Chelsea’s 1974/75 kit. Both shirts are expected to incorporate red, a historically divisive colour among Chelsea supporters due to its association with rival clubs. The addition of a retro lion badge has been met with positive feedback, bringing a nostalgic element to the designs. Chelsea are still without a confirmed front-of-shirt sponsor, but that situation is expected to be resolved before next season.

Key Points

  • Home kit: Predominantly royal blue with an asymmetric pattern, white and navy collar, and red/white streaks under the arms.
  • Away kit: White base with a bold red and green stripe down the centre, inspired by Chelsea’s 1974/75 kit.
  • Retro badge: The return of a classic lion crest has been well received.
  • Red accents: Both kits may feature red, a colour some fans dislike due to rival associations.
  • No sponsor yet: Chelsea remain the only Premier League club without a front-of-shirt sponsor, though this is expected to change before next season.
  • Mixed reactions: While the designs have some nostalgic appeal, the bold patterns and colours have divided opinions among supporters.
