Chelsea 24-25 Away Kit Evokes Memories of Iconic Barcelona Kit Worn by Ronaldinho
- Kit Resemblance: The Chelsea 2024-25 away kit has a similar gold color to the Barcelona 2003-05 away kit.
- Historic Match: The gold Barcelona kit was worn in a memorable Champions League match against Chelsea in 2005.
- Anniversary: The 2024-25 season will mark the 20th anniversary of the game between Chelsea and Barcelona.
The new Chelsea 2024-25 away kit bears some resemblance to one of their opponents' kits from 20 years ago - the Nike Barcelona 2003-05 alternative kit.
FC Barcelona 2004-05 Third (2003-04 Away) vs Chelsea 2024-25 Away Kits
Both the Chelsea 2024-25 and Barcelona 2004-05 away kits have a gold main color. It is not known if Nike intended to use a similar color to the old Barcelona kit. However, it would make sense.

The goldish Barcelona kit was worn in what was one of Chelsea's and Champions League's most remarkable games ever.
The Chelsea vs. Barcelona match was played on March 8, 2005. Ronaldinho scored a brilliant goal in this game, but in the end, it was a successful game for Chelsea, who beat Barcelona 5-4 on aggregate, going down well in the club's history.
The 2024-25 season will mark the 20th anniversary of the match
Of course, the Nike Barcelona 2004-05 and Chelsea 2024-25 Chelsea away kit have various differences. The new Chelsea kit has more of a reddish gold (called "Guava Ice"), while the Barcelona kit has no reddish touch for the gold.

Gillingham 26-27 Away and Third Kits Released
League Two side Gillingham FC has officially revealed its new away and third kits for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor Macron, the dual launch offers fans two vastly different aesthetics, pairing a highly elegant, retro-inspired away strip with a bold and modern third option.
The new Macron Gillingham 26-27 away shirt introduces a classy and refined look for the club's travels. It features a cream base, anchored by a striking central vertical stripe in teal and green. Adding to the tailored aesthetic is a traditional teal polo collar adorned with blue and white trim, which perfectly matches the detailing on the sleeve cuffs.
In stark contrast, the Gillingham 26-27 third shirt embraces a loud, contemporary design. The alternate jersey is built on a black base that is completely covered by a vibrant purple marbled, liquid swirl graphic pattern. To ensure the branding stands out against the chaotic background, Macron has utilized a striking neon mint green for the manufacturer logo, the central sponsor, and the trim on both the modern V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs.
Which of these two new Gillingham 26-27 kits do you prefer - the classy cream away or the bold purple marbled third? Let us know in the comments below.
