Chelsea FC To Change Crest

Chelsea is set to alter their crest, according to a report of Express Sport. The newspaper reports that plans are already underway to make adjustments to the current Chelsea crest design approved by Roman Abramovich in 2005.

The existing Chelsea crest was released following Abramovich’s purchase of the club. It features a lion holding a staff, which is the Earl of Cadogan's coat of arms.

There Won't "Be Massive Changes To New Chelsea FC Crest"

According to Express Sport, the lion will stay but adjustments are currently being made to the font as part of a freshen up.

A source said Express Sport: “The crest is being redesigned. There won’t be massive changes but it’s being given a freshen up.”

Abramovich restored the rampant lion to the club’s crest ahead of the club's centenary in 2005. The change was well-received by fans 13 years ago.
