The new Chelsea kit for 2020-21 has been unveiled and the Blues will wear it for the first time against West Ham United on Wednesday (start time, 3:15 pm ET on NBCSN and online via NBCSports.com).
Chelsea have kept the blue color for their home jersey (obviously) and have gone with a simple design compared to their home jersey for the 2019-20 season. The west London club state that the “herringbone-knit pattern is inspired by the traditional craft of London tailoring.”
When it comes to a a new Chelsea kit, or any new kit for that matter, there are always plenty of amateur fashion designers out there. The response to this new jersey has been a little mixed.
They also have a new shirt sponsor in telecommunications company “Three UK” and you can’t really miss their sponsorship logo on the front of the shirt.
Check out the photos below to see what Christian Pulisic and Co. will be wearing in the Premier League next season, and Frank Lampard hopes it will be worn in the Champions League too as the Blues continue to push to seal a top four finish in his debut season in charge at Stamford Bridge.
This new Chelsea kit will divide opinion.
