August 21, 2025Aug 21 I don't mind the colour but not a fan of that badge.New Nike third kit - a Total London bridge from our past...The energy and excitement of a new era with trophy success is celebrated, as two bright Chelsea dawns two decades apart are allied together in the Nike third kit for 2025/26, launched today.Fresh from the men’s team winning the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Conference League earlier this year, and the women’s side sweeping up the domestic Treble, this season for third-choice shirts, shorts and socks, the players will be donning a dark design inspired by the momentous 2004/05 campaign - when Chelsea were crowned Premier League champions for the very first time.The same season served up double silverware with the League Cup while for Chelsea Ladies, as the team was then called, they were becoming fully integrated into the club having just achieved top-flight status.Lighting the Blues touchpaperWith 2005 an ignition point for unprecedented glory and the current Chelsea now world-beaters and looking ahead, full of ambition, the shirt synergy is clear – as the torch is passed on.The black and silver colours so famously ripped off and thrown to the crowd in bare-chested celebration by the likes of John Terry and Frank Lampard, after winning the ‘Battle of Blackburn’, are revisited 20 years later with black again predominant and silver featuring on the collar, sleeves and sock tops. Plus, there is a royal blue trim adding a further Chelsea touch.This is Nike Total 90. Every club has its mythology, and every legend has their moment. The T90 third kits reignite the raw, rebellious spirit of football’s most untamed era, where audacity, unpredictability, and chaos shaped the game, way beyond the full-time whistle.A T90 classic!For Chelsea, the revival of an icon looks best with a blue trim inviting this new generation of legends to step into their game changing era. This kit celebrates the audacious club era that changed the game forever.Written in football history. Worn by the next legends of club and culture.

August 21, 2025Aug 21 I think this year is the best selection of kits we've had under Nike. Home is probably the worst of the bunch, but away and third kit are lovely (minus the Millwall lion)
August 21, 2025Aug 21 It’s the (old) revamped T90 template? From that iconic Brazil shirt right?As said above, absolutely love it, but the badge is wrong.

August 21, 2025Aug 21 I wonder where they will put the CWC badgeAs every option will make the kit look ridiculous Edited August 21, 2025Aug 21 by bisright1

August 21, 2025Aug 21 We've had a lot worse, but there's a couple of aspects that don't seem right to me. I'm not sold on the bright white collar, and the badge placement in the centre seems odd. I like the black with blue trim, though.I can't remember really liking any of our kits since we switched to Nike. They always seem to have to "over-design" them and do too much.
August 21, 2025Aug 21 The other day i saw a bloke at an Amsterdam bus station wiearing our home shirt and the CWC badge was on the sleeve where the PL badge is supposed to be. Very whimsical.
August 21, 2025Aug 21 The CWC badge at least adds some symmetry, although it throws off the colour-scheme. It'd be better if they switched the CFC and CWC around.

Very whimsical.I actually had the same issue, turns out it was my fault. I’d clicked the CWC badge (ie PL/FA Cup/CL sleeve participation) as opposed to the CWC winners badge. Presume this fine chap has made the same easy to make error.I just swapped mine with fanatics thankfully. Edited August 21, 2025Aug 21 by The Boehly Babes

August 21, 2025Aug 21 Author As with the other shirts, if anyone is going to purchase, please use the link to the megastore HERE or the link on the forum homepage! I know you are always up for a new shirt (or 10) Moski, wherever you are! @Simplymo
August 21, 2025Aug 21 Not a massive fan of this one but it is clean. The blue thin trim is not my thing nor the sleeves. I like the main home kit the best.

August 21, 2025Aug 21 If Nike, like Adidas, and everyone is using old badges on alt kits, why not just use the more detailed 50’s version of the one we have now. Never really want to see the Millwall lion, it was never a good design aside from nostalgia for the sake of it.As for the shirt, it’s alright but why use the SAME collar as the home shirt.. so lazy. Those drop collars show too much neck.

August 21, 2025Aug 21 That’s woeful. Looks like a rejected training kit design. And why on earth dredge up a badge nobody liked? I wondered why I saw a load of flags with it on at the Palace game. Still, it’s just 50 pence worth of polyester that nobody will make me buy (for £70) or wear, so suppose it doesn’t really matter that much. Even the team will probably only ever wear it 3 or 4 times before it’s replaced.
