White Spray to Messy and Tape to Heavy - The Reasons Why Chelsea WillWearThe Three Logo Until The End of the Season
It is understood that a proposal to use a white spray to paint over the logos was rejected as too messy. Covering the logo with tape was also discounted, on the grounds that a thin layer would be see-through, whilst a thick tape would make the shirts too heavy and potentially uncomfortable for the players.
With all the solutions to hide the logo having been rejected, and with the government refusing to relent and permit Nike to supply more shirts, Chelsea will be in their usual kits for the foreseeable future.
Chelsea's sleeve sponsors Hyundai followed Three by suspending marketing activities on behalf of the club two days later, but did not ask for their logo to be removed.
Three have been informed about Chelsea's decision and are resigned to continuing to be associated with the club.
