Nike Chelsea 2026 Special Collection
The special Nike Chelsea 2026 collection is inspired by Chelsea's grey & tangerine kit from 1994-1996. It not only boasts the same colors - black, gray, and orange, but also the crest of that time.
The iconic Umbro Chelsea 1994-1996 kit featured a graphite grey base combined with vibrant orange and black accents, and it remains a cult classic among many supporters for its unique and bold design.
Nike also created a special Chelsea text inspired by the sponsor from that time, Coors.
In contrast to the inspiration, the Nike Chelsea 2026 collection will not feature a kit. Instead, it only features a pre-match shirt plus a full lifestyle collection, including a retro keeper kit.
