Chelsea 25-26 Kit Overloaded with Logos After Clean Start

Chelsea FC began the 2025-26 season with a refreshingly clean home kit made by Nike. When the club debuted the shirt at the FIFA Club World Cup, it was worn without a main sponsor, giving the design a rare, uncluttered look. That clean aesthetic did not last long.

Chelsea's Never-Ending Addition of New Logos on their Kit During Season

For the final matches of the FIFA Club World Cup, Chelsea added a sleeve sponsor specifically for the tournament. After winning the tournament, the new golden FIFA Champions badge has been added to the chest. The circular badge is bigger than the team's badge, already imbalancing the kit.

Chelsea Kit As It Started And Available to Buy

Since then, further commercial elements have been added. A new sleeve sponsor has been added (FPT), and the club has now introduced a new main shirt sponsor, IFS. However, IFS decided that they MUST add an .ai to their logo to promote their new AI platform, making it further unbalanced. The result is a shirt that is now heavily covered in logos compared to its original launch version.

Interestingly, the version with the new main sponsor has been displayed in official club stores (it does not look good, really), but it is not yet available for online purchase.

What started as one of the cleanest Chelsea home kits in recent years has gradually become much busier, with multiple commercial additions significantly altering the original look.

We created a mockup with one of Chelsea's most popular sponsors, Samsung. It just fits so much better.
