The Kit

This retro reissue keeps the era-right look on a modern fan-version cut, the kind collectors spot from across the room.

Chelsea jerseys carry the royal blue of Stamford Bridge — two Champions League titles (2012 and 2021), the 2021 Club World Cup, and the Premier League era's most decorated London club. From Osgood's 1970 Cup Final mud to Drogba's Munich heroics to the present rebuild, the Blues have collected every trophy available.

The Practical Bits

  • Comes with Gianluca Vialli and the No. 9 already printed on the back — official-style name set, ready to wear
  • Quick-drying fabric wicks moisture away, comfortable through 90 minutes and everything after
  • The same crest, colors and detailing the team lines up in
  • 100% polyester construction — light, quick to dry, hard to wear out

Fit: true to size. If you're between sizes and like room, go up one.

Care: wash it cool, dry it in the air, and never iron straight over the print — that's the whole ritual.

Who is it for? Anyone who has ever heard a name chanted in a stadium and wanted it on their back. What you are getting: the retro shirt in Chelsea colors, built for everyday wear. Ninety minutes, three points, one shirt — the rest of the week it's just good clothing.

FAQ

Can I personalize a jersey with a custom name and number, or choose a star player?

Yes, absolutely! We offer premium, official-style personalization. You can select your favorite star player from the current roster, a past legend, or type your own name and preferred number. Please carefully double-check your spelling and number choices, as custom-printed jerseys (personalized names/numbers) cannot be returned or exchanged due to sizing preferences.

What is the main difference between the Fan Version and the Player/Authentic Version?

  • Fan Version (Regular Fit): Tailored for casual everyday wear and comfort in the stands. It features embroidered logos/crests and a slightly looser, standard cut. We recommend ordering your normal size.

  • Player/Authentic Version (Athletic Fit): The exact same high-performance kits worn by the athletes on the pitch. It features a slim, body-contouring fit, lightweight heat-pressed badges, and advanced breathable ventilation meshes. If you prefer a more relaxed fit in this version, we highly recommend sizing up one size.

How should I wash and care for my jersey to keep it in perfect condition?

To maximize the lifespan of the premium heat-pressed sponsor graphics, player names, and sleeve patches, we strongly recommend washing your jersey inside out in cold water using a gentle cycle or hand-washing. Always hang dry. Never tumble dry, use bleach, or iron directly over the printed numbers and vinyl graphics.

How long will shipping take, and will I be able to track my match-day kit?

Orders are typically processed and customized within 1-3 business days. Once shipped, our standard trackable express air delivery takes 7-15 business days worldwide. You will automatically receive a dispatch notification email containing a real-time tracking link to monitor your parcel's route straight to your doorstep.

What is your return policy if the jersey doesn't fit me properly?

We want you to wear your team colors with absolute confidence. We stand behind our gear with a 30-Day Hassle-Free Return & Exchange Policy for all standard blank kits or pre-printed player stock. If you need a different size, simply contact our support team within 30 days of delivery. Please ensure that all original tags remain attached and the item is unworn and unwashed.
