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 touchpaper

With 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. Immortalised in T90.

Modern London brushes up against memory

Completing a London trilogy for kit inspiration this season by following on from the architectural design aspect of the new home shirt and the artistic feel to the away version, for the 2025/26 third kit launch the unique cultural melting point and creative epicentre that is our city is again part of this Total London story.

A west London street scene at night, a place suspended between eras, forms the backdrop. Players who all joined Chelsea in 2025 are to the fore.

Ready for the new season

The new continues to meet the old with the version of the club badge last worn on our shirts in 2004/05 returning front and centre of the fresh design.

Also showcased today in the collection are a matching anthem jacket, a pre-match top and trainingwear.

Nike’s Total 90 era was also our era, when Didier Drogba, Jose Mourinho, Claude Makelele, Arjen Robben, Damien Duff and Joe Cole were like nothing ever seen before. But this isn’t nostalgia. It’s revival. We’re back. World beaters – and with Ellie Carpenter, Joao Pedro, Naomi Girma, Jamie Gittens, Estevao and Liam Delap launching the shirt today - this is the new era!

Shop the Nike T90 third kit now in the Megastore at Stamford Bridge and in our online store.

Quite like the kit. Not a huge fan of the Bates Millwall badge. I wasn't a fan of the change at the time. Naomi looks like a referee at a kids summer football tournament

Unlike the home and away, this kit badly needs a front of shirt sponsor.

Hey bud, sry I haven’t been around mate. Long story and mostly boring, lol.

I used the link to buy 3 already (home shirts with world champions) and today I bought 3 more (1 away and 2x 3rd) my Mrs likes the black the best.
