Chelsea throw it back to ’05 with new Nike kit
Chelsea have launched their new Nike third kit for the 2025/26 season, inspired by the club’s first Premier League-winning campaign 20 years ago.
The new kit is part of Nike’s Total 90 revival series and revisits the black and silver design worn during the 2004/05 season, in which the club won both the Premier League and the League Cup.
The new design is predominantly black with silver on the collar, sleeves, and sock tops, and features a royal blue trim. The club badge used during the 2004/05 season also returns to the front of the shirt.
The launch connects that era with the club’s recent successes, including the men’s team winning the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Conference League, and the women’s team securing a domestic Treble.
The kit is the final instalment of a Total London theme for the season’s strips. The launch campaign features several of the club’s 2025 signings, including Ellie Carpenter, Joao Pedro, Naomi Girma, Jamie Gittens, Estevao, and Liam Delap.
