Yellow kits are part of Chelsea's history and fans will be thrilled to see the colour return for next season.  Pinstripe hoops are added, giving the shirt an iconic feel but with a modern twist. The away kit is completed with black shirts and yellow socks.  The club's ‘Pride of London’ logo is also present on the inside of the jersey.

“When you look over the years, you always remember the yellow kits on our heroes that made an impact," says Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, who supported the Blues growing up and has represented the club since a youngster. "As players I feel we can do the same and create even more special moments in this new kit!”

Like so much of Nike's newly released clobber, Chelsea's away kit is constructed with 100% recycled polyester fabric, which is made from recycled plastic bottles, thus helping reduce environmental impact. Recycled polyester reduces carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to virgin polyester.

The 2021/22 Chelsea away kit will be available on nike.com and on full retail from 5 August.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
