- 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.

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.

FC Noah 26-27 Home Kit Released
Armenian club FC Noah has unveiled its new home kit for the 26-27 season. Made by Adidas, it will be worn in the upcoming Armenian Premier League and UEFA Conference League campaigns.
The Adidas FC Noah 26-27 home shirt features the club's traditional black and white colors, but introduces a highly bespoke graphic design on the front. This bold central element even prompted questions from fans online about whether it was a main sponsor logo or an integrated pattern.
The club clarified that the eye-catching graphic on the Adidas FC Noah 26-27 home jersey represents the wings of Bazé, the team's new symbol. The Bazé signifies a constant drive to rise higher and the ability to strike the target at the right moment.
Adding to the local inspiration, the Adidas FC Noah 26-27 home football shirt incorporates patterns depicting the basalt columns of the Symphony of Stones. This natural monument, formed by cooling volcanic lava, symbolizes the harmony of nature. The Armenian flag is also visible on the kit, rounding out a design inspired by the natural landmarks of the Armenian Highlands.
FC Noah will debut the Adidas 26-27 home kit on July 23, 2026, when they face Moldovan side Zimbru in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League.
