Chelsea unveil new Nike third kit featuring revolutionary design

Chelsea have launched their new third kit by Nike for the 2024/25 season, with the Blues to sport black on some of their travels this year.

The predominantly black design features lighter shades across the jersey, while it is accompanied by bright pink and yellow accents and trim.

The more striking details of the kit include an upturned Nike tick - which will feature across most of the manufacturer's third shirts this season - and a minimalist crest design consisting only of the main logo's lion and staff.

Chelsea elected not to unveil the kit in a traditional manner, instead showcasing it shortly prior to the women's team's pre-season friendly against Arsenal in the USA.

The men's team have started the Premier League campaign without a front-of-shirt sponsor. However, the top used in their social media announcement featured Infinite Athlete across the torso.

Infinite Athlete became Chelsea sponsors just after the 2023/24 season began on a one-year deal, believed to be worth £40m, that extended into the men's pre-season for this campaign.

Terms have not been reached for Infinite Athlete to continue sponsoring Chelsea shirts and reports have claimed they are not expected to do so.

Chelsea kits on sale for the 2024/25 season currently do not feature any primary sponsor on them at all, as was the case last term when they began the campaign without a partner. The Blues do, however, still sport a shirt sleeve sponsor - Fever, an entertainment platform.
