Chelsea Football Club has recently revealed their highly anticipated home kit for the upcoming 2023/24 English Premier League season, as confirmed by News About Nigeria.
The new jersey, designed by Nike, pays homage to the club’s iconic 1997/98 kit, which was adorned by Chelsea legends including Gianfranco Zola, Dennis Wise, Roberto Di Matteo, and the esteemed former manager Gianluca Vialli.
During the memorable campaign of 1997/98, Chelsea achieved remarkable success on the European stage, triumphing in the UEFA Cup, the League Cup, and clinching the UEFA Super Cup at the beginning of the subsequent season. These achievements were accomplished while wearing the now refined and classic design jersey, which has been enhanced with modern features to cater to the needs of contemporary players.
The latest iteration of the Chelsea home kit boasts a new addition of gold detailing, accompanied by an iridescent crest that accentuates the club’s glamour reminiscent of the famous King’s Road in the ’90s. The prominent lion emblem on the shirt serves as a symbol of Chelsea’s prestige and rich history.
Dubbed the “Pride of London,” the new jersey is constructed using Nike’s innovative Dri-FIT ADV technology. This advanced fabric and fit combination ensures superior comfort and performance, facilitating optimal moisture management for modern-day players.
The breathable FIT ADV weave guarantees efficient sweat evaporation, enabling the players to remain cool and lightweight throughout the entire 90-plus minutes of play.
Although the shirt is currently not available for public purchase, eager fans can acquire it from the club’s Megastore at Stamford Bridge, the club’s online store, or Nike’s official website starting from 16 August. Furthermore, the wider marketplace will stock the kit from 23 August.
It is important to note that slight modifications may be made to the shirt design to accommodate a front-of-shirt partner, as indicated in Chelsea’s official statement on their website.
