Everyone must know where my footballing loyalties lie by now, but even with that I have to note how damn good looking this special edition Chelsea FC kit turned out to be. Nike is helping celebrate 50 years since the London club’s FA Cup triumph in 1970 with an anniversary shirt.
Commemorating the iconic moment in the Blues’ history, the royal blue jersey features the crest from the 1970 final replay for a brilliant vintage execution. The sponsors are also in the same color so as to blend with the jersey, giving it a nice and clean look (without neglecting the companies that help pay the bills). Yellow socks and yellow numbers, now this a good lookin kit.
More info below.
The kit will be on pitch for the third-round tie against Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge January 5, and you can start getting your hands on this starting January 2 on nike.com/football and chelseamegastore.com.
