Chelsea 25-26 Home Kit

Leaked: Chelsea 25-26 Home Kit to Feature Red + Return of Lion Crest
The emblem's trademark was officially filed with the UK Intellectual Property Office in August. Without any objections raised, it is set to be registered under Chelsea Football Club Limited for the next decade.
In addition, Chelsea has applied to trademark 'Chels' and 'The Chels,' with confirmation expected next month. The club's latest home kit campaigns have already featured the "CFC LDN" branding, reinforcing the idea of Chelsea as London’s premier football club.
Footy Headlines thinks that it is likely that Chelsea FC will use the lion crest (and possibly also the lion with the LDN logo) not only for next season but for the years to come.
