- Collection Details: The Nike Chelsea 2026 collection will include a pre-match or training shirt and a lifestyle collection, but no full kit, and the retro crest will return for the 2026-2027 third kit.
Update: We can leak one of the most outstanding Nike products from Nike for Chelsea for the 25-26 season. A special-edition lifestyle retro keeper kit, part of the special Nike 2026 Chelsea throwback collection. There won't be a player retro kit in early 2026 - this will come in the summer of 2026.
The Nike Chelsea 2026 collection reintroduces the graphite and tangerine colors and the 1994-1996 logo.
Nike Chelsea 2026 Special Collection
The special Nike Chelsea 2026 collection is inspired by Chelsea's 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 will only feature a pre-match and/or training shirt plus a full lifestyle collection, and, possibly, an anthem jacket.
