Chelsea Reverts To Old Kit
May 18, 2021, by Chris
Update: In surprising news, Chelsea FC will revert to their 2020-21 home kit for the crucial Premier League match against Leicester City this night. The reasons are not known, but the league would have allowed them to wear the new kit - Arsenal will debut their brand-new 21-22 Adidas away kit.
As announced when they released their new Nike 2021-22 home kit on May 13, 2021, Chelsea FC debuted their new shirt in the FA Cup final against Leicester City today.
On-Pitch | Chelsea Nike 21-22 Home Kit
Chelsea wore their new 2021-22 home kit in the first-choice combo - a blue/yellow/white shirt is combined with blue/yellow shorts and white/blue/yellow socks.
The graphic design is continued on the shirt
What makes the full look outstanding is that the shorts continue the graphic design of the shirt. The socks, meanwhile, are classic.
For the final, Chelsea's kit featured a special inscription, just like Leicester Cty's shirt.
Chelsea did not design a new kit font for the 2021-2022 season. The current Chelsea jersey typeface was released in 2019 - in the Premier League, Chelsea will of course wear the Premier League font and badges.
Keeper kit
Chelsea cup keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga wore the new Nike Chelsea 21-22 goalkeeper shirt that was launched together with the home kit.

Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.
Melbourne City 26-27 Home, Away & Third Kits Released
Puma and A-League club Melbourne City FC have officially unveiled their complete kit collection for the 26-27 campaign. Launched under the campaign tagline 'Made of City', the three-kit drop blends the club's signature identity with Melbourne street culture and club heritage.
The Melbourne City 26-27 home shirt stays true to tradition, centered around the iconic City Blue base. Drawing inspiration directly from the club badge, red and yellow trim accents decorate the collar and sleeve cuffs. Meanwhile, the away kit leans into nocturnal Melbourne fashion, pairing a deep plum jersey with an abstract zig-zag graphic and vibrant shimmer pink branding across all sponsor prints and the club crest.
Rounding out the lineup is the 26-27 third kit, which pays homage to the club's origins as Melbourne Heart. The shirt combines a crisp off-white base with red accents and incorporates a subtle heartbeat graphic emerging across the chest from behind the crest. A heart motif inside the collar completes the tribute. The new collection is available through Melbourne City's online store and Puma Australia.
