Comeback For 21-22: Chelsea's Yellow Kit History
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.
