“simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

On the inside cuff of the right sleeve it says “THE BLUES” and the left sleeve is adorned with “EST. 1905”, referencing the year of the club’s formation.
A blue “CFC” motif features on the front of the white socks, which integrate NikeGrip technology for the ultimate boot-to-foot connection.
“CHELSEA FC” is printed on the back of the neck.
The shirt comes with the “Authentic” nike logo.
