Club World Cup Winners Badge to Be Placed on Left Chest of Chelsea Third Kit
- Badge Placement: The FIFA Club World Cup champions badge will be placed on the left chest of Chelsea's 2025-26 third kit.
- Reason for Placement: The badge is moved to the left chest because the third kit features a centralized club crest, leaving no room for the badge in its usual position.
- Home and Away Kits: Chelsea's 2025-26 home and away kits will feature the FIFA Club World Cup badge in the standard central position due to the traditional crest placement on the left.
Chelsea's 2025-26 third kit has already been made available in stores, confirming that the FIFA Club World Cup champions badge will be placed on the left chest - the spot typically reserved for the club crest. Thanks to @jordyxcollins & @CFCDREM.
Chelsea 25-26 Third Kit to Feature Club World Cup Badge on Left Chest
The reason for this unusual placement is the design of the third kit itself. The new Chelsea 25-26 third shirt features a centralized club crest.
With the Chelsea crest and the Nike Swoosh already occupying the center of the shirt, this leaves no room for the FIFA CWC badge in its usual position. As a result, the badge has been moved to the left chest, opposite the Nike logo.
Different from Home & Away Kits
This is a different approach compared to Chelsea's 2025-26 home and away kits. On those jerseys, which feature a traditional crest placement on the left, the FIFA Club World Cup badge is applied in the standard central position.
This small but interesting detail shows how specific kit design choices can impact the application of official league and competition badges.

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.
