Nov 16, 2020, by Chris
Last Sunday, we leaked that the Nike Chelsea 21-22 away jersey will be yellow. It is not a new color combo for the club - we take a look back at some of Chelsea's best yellow kits in history, in cooperation with Football Kit Archive.
Chelsea's Yellow Shirts History
Chelsea has had yellow alternative various times during their club history. The first time that they wore a yellow away shirt was in 1963-64, when they used it as "third" / alternative choice.
Since 1963, Chelsea used yellow various times during their history, mostly combined with blue or red applications. However, between 1978 and 1982, they even combined it with green for their away kit.
In the 2000s, Chelsea has had six different yellow alternative kits (if counting the electricity Adidas 2007-08 away kit). Nike did release one yellow kit for the club since they became Chelsea's kit maker in 2017 - the 2018-19 away uniform.

The Joma Hellas Verona 26-27 away jersey reverses the traditional home colors, featuring yellow as the primary base with contrasting blue accents on the collar and cuffs. The standout element of the design is a bespoke front graphic pattern that depicts a bird's-eye view of Verona's urban layout and streets. This print maps the city directly onto the shirt, emphasizing the club's local identity. The team crest is applied as a thermosealed silicone badge, while the fabric features a jacquard finish for added texture.

The Erreà FC Südtirol 26-27 home shirt takes direct inspiration from the iconic kit worn by the team between 2013 and 2017. It features a clean white base highlighted by an asymmetrical, dynamic pattern of red rhombuses crossing the front. These geometric shapes, derived from the club's crest, rise from the bottom toward the center of the shirt, while a delicate faded gray texture fills the spaces in between. Two additional red rhombuses decorate the right sleeve to complete the modern reinterpretation of the classic look.
Complementing the bespoke design, the official club crest sits on the left chest, with the team's name featured in red on the back of the collar over a faded gray panel. Inside the collar, a custom red sweatband repeats the FC Südtirol text in white to round off the refined details of the new kit.

The standout element of the new design is the crest; the standard club badge has been replaced by the historical Pisa Cross, or Croce Pisana, set on a red shield. This special emblem will serve as the primary logo for the entirety of the season.
Red linear accents frame the kit, complementing the prominent red cross on the left chest. The standard Adidas logo and shoulder stripes are prominently featured, while Cetilar continues its partnership as the main front-of-shirt sponsor.
