In early 2023, Nike and the club revealed that Chelsea's kits for the 2025-26 season are the first to be designed by a team of designers who recently relocated from Portland to London. Footy Headlines has been able to leak the first info about the Chelsea 25-26 home and away shirts - let's see what the first results of the move are, reflected in the 25-26 kits.
Chelsea 25-26 Jerseys Go Back to Archive
Back in 2023, it was stated that the move would allow the designers to immerse themselves in the local culture and better reflect the club's heritage in their designs. The leaks reveal that the announcement made is not off.
Chelsea 25-26 Home Kit
The Nike Chelsea 2025-26 home kit will see the return of the iconic lion crest, a beloved symbol of the club's history. This design will also feature red detailing, adding a modern twist to a classic look.
Chelsea has been experimenting a lot with its home kits in recent years and has taken a very modern approach with iridescent logos. The 25-26 season marks the return to a more history-fused look.
Chelsea 25-26 Away Kit
For the Chelsea 25-26 away kit, the designers are taking a bold step by revisiting a unique color combination from the 1974-75 away shirt—exactly 50 years after it was originally worn. The kit will feature an off-white base with green and red accents, paying homage to this vintage design while celebrating its half-century mark.
Footy Headlines expects that we will see some modern new elements in the kits and not entirely classic looks
The first info showcases a historical tribute that aligns with the club's deep-rooted traditions. However, Footy Headlines expects that the club will not go entirely classic and copy old kits - expect to see some modern new elements in the kits.
Stay tuned as we hope to reveal more detailed design information about the Chelsea 25-26 kits soon.

Spezia Calcio 26-27 Third Kit Released
Kappa and Italian club Spezia Calcio have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 26-27 season. Titled "Liberty Soul," the new strip draws direct inspiration from the local decorative art and architecture of La Spezia.
The Spezia Calcio 26-27 third shirt comes in a rich garnet base, overlaid with an intricate tonal floral pattern inspired by the Liberty-style stained-glass windows adorning historic buildings throughout the city. Clean white accents provide contrast on the Kappa logos, the club crest on the left chest, and the main shirt sponsor. Honoring club heritage, Spezia's historic 1944 championship badge is placed on the upper back below the collar.
The new third kit completes the club's 26-27 collection alongside the white 120th-anniversary home shirt and the black-and-gold away jersey. It is available to purchase now via Spezia's official online store.

Napoli Women 26-27 Away Kit Released
Following the launch of their ocean-themed home strip, Napoli Women have unveiled their new away kit for the 26-27 season. Produced in partnership with Swedish brand Craft and creative agency Modì, the jersey represents the second chapter of the club's "Dagli abissi al cielo" (From the abyss to the sky) narrative concept.
The design draws unique inspiration from Urania, the Neapolitan protagonist of Ernesto Capocci's 1857 proto-science fiction novella about the first woman to journey to the Moon. Capocci, a famed astronomer and former director of Naples' Capodimonte Observatory, penned the story nearly a decade before Jules Verne. To reflect this lunar theme, the shirt adopts muted gray and lilac tones paired with a crater-like lunar soil texture across the raglan sleeves, side panels, and shorts. A crisp white panel on the upper back features the inscription "To the Moon," while the chest carries Napoli Women's new emblem rendered in pearl-white 3D PVC.

Rounded off with dark shorts and socks featuring Fagan & Whalley branding, the new alternate strip is now available to purchase through the club's online store and physical retail shop.
