Chelsea 26-27 Home Kit
Check out Nike's Chelsea 2026-27 home jersey below.
The Nike Chelsea FC 26-27 home jersey combines Bright Blue with Midwest Gold, plus white. This means that a standard Chelsea blue is combined with a striking yellow.
It is the first time since the 2021-22 season that Chelsea uses yellow for a home shirt - exactly five years in 2026. It also marks 30 years since the first-ever Chelsea home kit with yellow logos was worn - 1995-1997.
Two elements let the Chelsea 26-27 kit stand out:
- First, the crest. The Chelsea 26-27 home kit features a yellow lion crest. This marks the first time in modern history that a Chelsea home kit does not use the modern logo.
- Second, the Chelsea 26-27 home kit has a subtle tonal pattern of the full crest that covers the entire fabric of the jersey.
Design-wise, the Nike Chelsea Football Club 26-27 home football shirt is simple and classic, based on the new Nike template that debuts for the 2026 World Cup.
The shorts are blue & yellow, while the socks feature a nice design in white & blue, mirroring the laurel wreath seen in the shirt design.
Replica Version
The match version of the Nike Chelsea 2026-27 home kit very nicely makes use of a bespoke Aero-Fit fabric, giving the kit a special, bespoke haptic feeling. Meanwhile, the replica has the pattern embossed very subtly.

Chelsea 25-26 Vs 26-27 Home Kits
Chelsea 25-26 Home Kit Released
As with the Chelsea 25-26 shirts, the Nike Chelsea 26-27 home shirt has been designed by a London-based designer, as a move by Nike to bring the design closer to the club and to include more fan feedback. A good idea, as designing all kits from the HQ in the USA sometimes has led to several unpopular Chelsea home shirts in recent years.

England 2026 World Cup Kit Font Prepared with Laser
Football kit retailer @subsidesports has offered a behind-the-scenes look into their printing operations ahead of the 2026 World Cup. In a recent social media update, the company shared a video of their heat press machinery in action, highlighting the process behind their Fan Style customization service. This service utilizes official typefaces and plotter sheets to apply names and numbers to replica shirts, ensuring an authentic look for supporters.
The short video features what eagle-eyed followers suspect to be a Transmatic REV 5SA heat press, a heavy-duty machine used for professional garment decoration.
One standout detail is that they used lasers to ensure the names and numbers were placed with absolute precision on the back of the jerseys. It’s a testament to Subside Sports’ commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Adidas Teams Twinned by Product Code & Design
Update - Sunday, June 7, 2026: As spotted Indonesian jersey experts @Jerseyforum, Adidas teams with the same design also share the product. In particular, they do not have the usual Team + Shirt Type Name (e.g. FCB A 26 JSY), but are called Custom Licensed Jersey (CULIC26 JSY).
Templates are not as common as they were in the past, but smaller Adidas teams still do not have custom designs always. In the outgoing 25-26 season, teams such as Düsseldorf, Al Ahly, and Sparta Praha all used the same Locker Room design with custom colors.
