Nike Chelsea 20-21 Third Kit
Check out the Chelsea 20-21 third jersey below.
Chelsea FC's 2020-21 third jersey has a light red, almost pinkish base color, combining it with a dark and saturated blue.
In terms of design, a design of fading blue stripes appears all over the Chelsea 20-21 third shirt. A recolored version of the club badge is used on Chelsea's new third kit.
Based on the same template as the PSG third kit, Chelsea's 2020-21 third kit has a v-collar. Besides the stripes on the front, there are also gradient prints on the sides and shoulders of the shirt.
Red shorts and blue socks complete the Chelsea 20-21 third kit.
The design of the Chelsea 2021 third kit is likely inspired by the 96-97 Umbro shirt. The colorway is inspired by classic Nike Air Max sneakers as well as Chelsea change shirts from the 1980s - see the full Chelsea kit history over at Football Kit Archive.
A special Air Max 180 colorway will be available to buy, too.

Barcelona Debut Red Shorts and Socks Variant
Barcelona officially debuted a red shorts and socks variant with their 2026-27 home shirt in the away match against Valencia, avoiding a potential kit clash.
The combination was previously used in a friendly against Birmingham City last month and is set to be used regularly throughout the season. It also marks the fourth time in the last five seasons that Barcelona have used red as a supplementary colour alongside their home shirt.
The new combination made a memorable competitive debut as Barcelona secured a 5-0 win over Valencia.

SV Zulte Waregem 26-27 Third Kit Released - 25th Anniversary Design
Belgian side SV Zulte Waregem and kit supplier Patrick have officially released their new third kit for the 26-27 season. Celebrating the club's silver jubilee marking 25 years since their formation in 2001, Essevee swap out their traditional red, green, and white colours for an understated black and silver look dubbed "Memories worth a touch of silver."
The Patrick SV Zulte Waregem 26-27 third jersey features a black base detailed with thin vertical silver pinstripes down the front. A closer inspection reveals that the pinstripes incorporate handwritten script documenting key milestones and dates throughout the club's history, highlighting achievements such as their inaugural 2001-02 title and their memorable 2012-13 campaign as league runners-up.
Completing the anniversary aesthetic, the jersey is finished with a silver V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs. All branding—including the monochrome SV Zulte Waregem club crest, Patrick maker's marks, and primary sponsors iDocta and Elindus—appears in silver and white to match the unified commemorative design.
Napoli Wears Last Season's Shorts Against Inter - Here Is Why
In their Serie A clash against Inter at San Siro, SSC Napoli caught the attention of eagle-eyed Napoli kit expert @TutelaMagliaNA. For the 26-27 centenary season, EA7 designed two distinct pairs of white shorts: the home shorts carry the club's special centenary crest, while the away version features an alternate Mount Vesuvius-themed logo. Because the red jersey used the standard circular Napoli crest, pairing it with either of the 26-27 white shorts would have caused a clash of emblems on the same uniform.
Rather than producing a third set of white change shorts solely to carry the standard badge, Napoli simply reused their plain white match shorts from 25-26.
