Design Inspiration: Heritage Meets Modern Day
Inspiration for the 2025/26 away kit is derived heavily from the so-called Desian style-a design vocabulary that respects Chelsea’s considerable visual heritage of the 1970s and 1980s. Notice the retro collar construction linking it to that shining period, while subtle geometric patterns laid all over the fabric pay tribute to some of the vintage kits that once graced the pitch at Stamford Bridge some 40-odd years ago. The colors carefully reference classic away strips and later create an instant link between past glories and future ambitions.

A Beautiful Tribute to Chelsea's Golden Years!
“The moment I unboxed this kit, I was immediately carried away into an atmosphere of late-70s watching Chelsea with my father. That retro collar design is just spot-on; you really can tell somebody knew what made those classic kits tick. Fabric quality-wise, it really surpassed all my expectations of a commemorative kit. I put it on and went off to the local pub for the last match and garnered many compliments. This is not just a jersey but a conversation piece that transverses generation gaps among fans.”

Quality That Speaks Volumes.
I’ve been a collector of unofficial memorabilia of late, and this away kit for 2025/26 is much superior. The moisture-wicking aspects actually worked; day on the field was comfortable even with the excitement! Intricate geometric patterns subtly worked into the design speak of great attention to detail. My husband, a Chelsea supporter of thirty years, said that the vintage look grabs the club’s heritage really well. Worth every penny!”

Heritage Meets Modern Comfort – Perfection!
“Being an international Chelsea supporter and kit collector, my nitpick has always been about design authenticity and build quality. I say the commemorative edition gets both right. The collar in Desian style with three buttons was the first to catch my eye: it is an honest compliment to that 1980s spirit without veering onto costume territory. Making the light polyester blend wearable is something I appreciate, as I can wear this, not put it on a wall. The embroidered badge carries a lot of visual weight and texture: I already bought a second for my son!”

Finally! A Fan Kit With Panache!
“So much tiredness of seeing the generic kind of replica jerseys all looking alike! The away kit, with its vintage color palette and retro finishing details, is truly unique. I always wear it to supporter group meetings and thus get asked where I found it. The ribbed cuffs with contrast tipping are such a thoughtful detail for a really considerate design touch. Comfortable enough for all-day wear, stylish enough to wear out casually. Coordinating with the complete kit is just a bonus!”

A True Must-Have for Real Blues!
“I ordered it for the collection after seeing the preview pictures, and it looks even finer in actuality. The design is a subtle rendition of an old-time print and features geometric motifs- it looks just fabulous as it glistens in the light. Having now seen kits from every season in an official capacity from 2010 until now, I would say that this commemorative item really holds up construction-wise. The fabric does not feel cheap one bit. They managed to elegantly incorporate many elements from the past while modernizing them. Planning to frame one and wear the other. Genius commemorative product!”
